Measure
Laparoscopic Gastric Banding
Adolescent patients who have undergone laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding. Weight, BMI, and co-morbidity data will be compared to patient's pre-operative values. Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (Allergan Lap Band): Pre-op evaluation, surgical placement of a gastric band, and follow-up for a minimum of 5 years after surgery. Surgery is laparoscopic adjustable gastric band placement using a single brand of gastric band. Evaluations before and after surgery include but are not limited to history and physical examination, serum chemistry studies, imaging, sleep studies, and pulmonary function testing.
