Core Tip	Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) produces substantially greater weight loss and resolution of co-morbidities than laparoscopic adjustable gastric band (LAGB) in a community setting, in both the short- and long-term. Although peri-operative complications are higher with RYGB than LAGB, which are non-fatal and mostly related to wound infection, the long-term complication rate is higher after LAGB. Where LAGB fails to induce or maintain weight loss, RYGB appears to be the superior salvage procedure. The better outcomes for LAGB in males compared to females after 3 years post-surgery are intriguing and needs further confirmation.
