    Abstract:
    The effect of vertical banded gastroplasty (VBG) on the lipid profile in obese patients is considered. The antiatherogenic effect of VBG and of the following weight loss consists in significantly decreased plasma triglycerides, increased content of high-density lipoproteins and decreased atherogenic coefficient. Patients with hypercholesterolemia have significantly lower total plasma cholesterol by the period of the body mass stabilization. The effect of VBG is compared with that of other methods of correction of dyslipidemia. The possibility to improve this effect is also discussed.
