The two major types of present operations for severe obesity are vertical banded gastroplasty and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. (references)

Vertical banded gastroplasty (see Figure 1 below) and related techniques consist of constructing a small pouch with a restricted outlet along the lesser curvature of the stomach. (references)

Available published series report that the immediate operative mortality rate for both vertical banded gastroplasty and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is relatively low. On the other hand, morbidity in the early postoperative period, i.e., wound infections, dehiscence, leaks from staple line breakdown, stomal stenosis, marginal ulcers, various pulmonary problems, and deep thrombophlebitis in the aggregate, may be as high as 10 percent or more. In the later postoperative period, other problems may arise and may require reoperation. (references)
