**2. Revision of laparoscopic adjustable gastric band**

The laparoscopic adjustable gastric band (LAGB) was introduced in the 1970s with a simple weight loss mechanism for restricting food intake [3]. Since its implementation in the surgical practice, LAGB has shown promising results and gained popularity [4–6]. One of its attractiveness is its reversibility and less-invasive nature than other metabolic procedures [7]. Despite these remarks, LAGB has fallen behind other metabolic procedures. In the most recent IFSO data, LAGB is the fourth most common procedure behind the laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), and the one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB).
