Why it’s done?
The treatment for extreme obesity is LAGB. For those who have tried alternative weight loss techniques without long-term success, it is encouraged. If you have a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or above and are extremely obese, your doctor might recommend LAGB. If you have a BMI of 35 to 40 and a medical issue like sleep apnea, high blood pressure, heart disease, or type 2 diabetes, your doctor might also suggest it to you.
