Figure 2 | The three most commonly performed bariatric surgical procedures. a | The laparascopic gastric band is placed around the upper stomach to restrict the transit of ingested food. b | Laparascopic sleeve gastrectomy involves separation of the greater curvature from the omentum and splenic attachments. c | Roux-en-Y gastric bypass involves the rearrangement of the alimentary canal, such that ingested food bypasses most of the stomach, all of the duodenum, and a portion of the proximal jejunum.
