Description
A review of the laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) device was undertaken in response to continued requests from Albertans for access to this surgery for treatment of clinically severe obesity. The review was undertaken to provide government with appropriate evidence and information to make a decision on its public funding. Its three specific objectives, representing the range of information required; were to review: the effectiveness and safety of LAGB; the social and economic considerations for the provision of LAGB; and the fiscal considerations for the provision of LAGB.
