Quality of life after laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding using the Baros and Moorehead-Ardelt Quality of Life Questionnaire II.

Abstract

The use of the M-A QoLQ II is an efficient method of assessing the success of bariatric surgery. Widespread use of the questionnaire would assist in standardizing reporting of results following bariatric surgery. Our results suggest that LAGB may lead to excellent results with regards to resolution of comorbidities, improvement in QoL, and overall weight loss.
