What are some types of bariatric surgery? There are different types of bariatric surgery. The doctors tend to classify them as either malabsorptive, restrictive, or a combination of both. The restrictive procedures are those that add banding. This banding it either the realize or the lap band. These bands encircle the upper portion of the stomach. They are adjustable. Patients are expected to lose 50 to 55 percent. Gastric bypass is considered the gold standard. It adds a malabsorptive component. They staple the stomach and add a small pouch. They reroute the intestines to add malabsorptive component. Patients expect to lose 70 to 75 percent.
