Background: To create a bond between the technique proposed and the patient, flexibility and adaptability are indispensable. Thus, we devised the functional gastric bypass, which can be activated and deactivated by inflating or deflating the Lap-Band.
Methods: The Lap-Band was positioned according to the standard technique, with the addition of a hand-sewn side-to-side gastroenterostomy between the gastric pouch and the intestine in the form of an Omega loop.
