Operations for weight loss have been performed for decades. Previously they have involved big incisions, relatively high risk and a lot of side effects.
Although they have been successful in reducing weight, they have not been tolerated by patients.

More than 100,000 operations have been performed worldwide. Long term results are impressive.
