Results All of 18 morbidly obese patients with gallstone underwent LAGB and LC successfully, the operating time was (126±24) min and bleeding volume was (50±16) ml. No serious infectious complications occurred, but 3 cases with low-grade nausea and vomiting, 2 cases with adipose tissue liquefaction in incision, and one case with few seroperitoneun, all were cured conservatively.
