Brief summary
* The investigators aim to determine the clinical and metabolic outcomes of two available bariatric restrictive procedures: laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAP-BAND) and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy for the treatment of morbid obesity (BMI \> 35 with comorbidities or BMI \> 40) in VETERANS. * The investigators hypothesize that the short and long term outcomes between laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAP-BAND) and sleeve gastrectomy are similar in VETERANS.
