Types of Gastric Surgery Performed 1. Laparoscopic Roux-En-Y Gastric Bypass The laparoscopic Roux-En-Y Gastric Bypass or the Lap-Band System are both used to treat patients suffering with morbid obesity. Morbid obesity is defined as a body mass index of 40. Patients who are 120 pounds above their ideal weight, or patients 80-100 pounds above their ideal weight, who are treated for diabetes, hypertension hypercholesterolemia or sleep apnea may be candidates for surgery. Bariatric surgery is performed only when patients have exhausted all non-surgical weight loss options and have a medical need for significant weight reduction.
