TLDR
The results of this study suggest that laparoscopic SAGB can achieve an effective weight loss, with an acceptable mortality and morbidity rate.
Abstract
Background: Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding is a popular bariatric operation in Europe. However, the long-term complication rate and weight loss are still unclear. Methods: 824 patients underwent a laparoscopic Swedish Adjustable Gastric Banding (SAGB) in a 5-year period. Preoperative data, postoperative weight loss and long-term complications were prospectively obtained for analysis. Results: Mean age of the 824 patients was 43 ± 1 years, with mean preoperative BMI 43 ± 1 kg/m2. No intra- or postoperative death occurred in the first 30 postoperative days. Intraoperative conversion rate was 5.2%. Peri-operative complication rate was 1.2%. 97% of the patients were available for follow-up (maximum 5 years). Long-term complications occurred in 191 patients (23.2%). 135 complications (16.4%) were related to the band, and 56 (6.8%) to the access-port or to the tube. Mean excess weight loss was 30, 41, 49, 55 and 57 % after 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 years respectively. 82.9% of the patients obtained >50% EWL after initial treatment. Conclusions: The results of this study suggest that laparoscopic SAGB can achieve an effective weight loss, with an acceptable mortality and morbidity rate.

TL;DR: This data indicates that overweight and obesity in adults over the age of 40 is more likely to be a risk factor for adverse events than the other factors, including smoking, diet, and physical activity.

A prospective randomized study between laparoscopic gastric banding and laparoscopic isolated sleeve gastrectomy: results after 1 and 3 years.

TL;DR: Weight loss and loss of feeling of hunger after 1 year and 3 years are better after SG than GB and GERD is more frequent at 1 year after SG and at 3 years after GB.

A Decade of Change in Obesity Surgery

TL;DR: Examining changes in the practice of surgical treatment of severe obesity that occurred during the decade of 1986 through 1995 indicates the need for earlier use of operative treatment before irreversible complications of obesity can develop and underscores theneed for standardized long-term data and analyses regarding both weight control and postoperative side-effects.

TL;DR: An adjustable gastric band in which the stoma diameter can be adjusted from the outside appears to be at least as good as the other operations, and weight loss can beadjusted to patient comfort.
