Patient Weight Loss Graphs

First bariatric procedures in 1991, with open RNY. First duodenal switch a year later. Changed to laparoscopic RNY and DS but now perform only the laparoscopic adjustable band as a weight loss procedure. In my spare time I write books, several of which are about weight loss surgery, see www.obesitydr.com.

Left - "Getting to Goal & Staying There". Right - Dr. Simpson and Dr. Timothy Katzen discuss WLS and Plastic Surgery.
