The best technique for obesity intervention is the one that adapts to the patient. It must also adapt to the psychological and alimentary profile of the patient.

In general, depending on the degree of obesity, the following is recommended:

• BMI 30-35 -> Intra-gastric balloon and / or Gastric Band, depending on the patient’s history.
  
• BMI 35-40 -> Intra-gastric Balloon, Gastric Band or Gastric Sleeve depending on the history.
• BMI 35-40 -> Intra-gastric Balloon, Gastric Band or Gastric Sleeve depending on the history.
• BMI 40-50 -> Adjustable Gastric Band, Gastric Sleeve or Gastric By-Pass depending on the history.
• BMI 50 + -> Gastric By-Pass, Gastric Sleeve and Duodenal Switch depending on the history.
  

* These are only general recommendations. The options to consider will always be influenced by the patient’s past and present medical history. The final decision will be a consensus between patient and doctor.
