DR. FRANK VENINGA: One of the primary advantages of the lap band procedure is that it is essentially, totally reversible. If for whatever reason it doesn't seem to be working or is not tolerated well, it can be removed. The gastric sleeve resection is an operation in which a significant amount of your stomach is removed, which makes it a permanent change from your normal anatomy. However, with the lap band procedure it is necessary for most people to return to the office frequently, particularly in the first year, to either have fluid removed or placed within the reservoir. Many people find that an uncomfortable fit and for them the gastric sleeve resection, which is a one time operation, and no recurrent procedures in the office is more acceptable.
