It is significant to note that at the five-year mark there is no difference in the weight-loss results between the Lap Band procedure and laparoscopic gastric bypass patients, yet the gastric bypass has a much greater risk of operative complications. The Lap Band system is less invasive and less risky than laparoscopic gastric bypass and according to a five-year study comparing the two most common weight-loss surgeries for the seriously overweight, the lap band procedure has better overall results and less likely hood of complications.
