This past week was the 27th annual meeting of the American Society of Bariatric Surgeons (ASMBS). I always like to follow what’s new, including the latest research related to weight loss surgery and gastric banding. Two topics really caught my interest, so I decided to pass the information along on my blog:

In this study “Three-fourths of obese children and adolescents lost more than 60% of excess weight after laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding, which had fewer complications than seen in adults, data from a large cohort study showed.” To read more about this study, click here
- The second study reveals something, that I’m guessing most of you already knew…women’s sex lives get better after bariatric surgery. To read more about this study, click here
I hope you find this information useful. You can also find more at the ASMBS website by clicking here .
