- Title
Laparoscopic Gastric Banding: An Option for Very Obese Teens?
- Abstract
The article discusses research on the efficacy of laparoscopic gastric banding versus lifestyle modification in 50 severely obese patients. It references a study by Doctor P. E. O'Brien and colleagues at Monash University Medical School, Melbourne, published in a 2010 issue of the "Journal of the American Medical Association." The study found that the gastric banding group reported improved quality of life, and had no adverse effects during surgery.
