Yes there is. Unlike gastric bypass surgery, gastric banding does not interfere with food absorption. For this reason, vitamin deficiencies are rare after gastric banding due to the fact that gastric banding only limits the consumption of food because of the feeling of fullness. Even with this situation, the food consumed will still be entering the stomach and will be absorbed by the body in a slower manner.
