In general when you hear the term stomach stapling it is assumed that it means any type of bariatric surgery but in reality it usually denotes a VBG or vertical banded gastroplasty which is a combinational procedure that uses malabsorption as well as restrictive surgery together. In some instances a gastric bypass can be considered a stomach stapling as ling as there is some restrictive surgery involved which there usually is. This can include the separation of part of the stomach to create a small egg sized pouch.
In the vertical banded gastroplasty the stomach is bisected by the means of gastric staples and once this bisecting is complete the side of the stomach that will latter be used will also get a gastric band. This combination type of bariatric surgery has some of the best proven results but it is a much larger risk as compared to a Lap Band procedure.
