Summary
This study presents methods and results of a systematic selection of patients for laparoscopic gastric banding. A seven-step selection process considering anamnestic data, comprehensive counseling of patients and relatives, standardized psychological evaluation, specific medical work-up, including functional foregut testing, and economic issues was performed to select 50 of 163 referred patients (30.1%) for surgery. Long-term follow-up is needed to assess the value of this selection process.
