Procedure description:
The Gastric Band is a minimally invasive laparoscopic procedure that takes about 30 minutes to perform. An adjustable gastric band is wrapped around the upper part of the stomach dividing it into a small upper pouch that holds about ½ cup of food, and a larger lower stomach.
How it works:
By creating a smaller stomach pouch, the Band limits the amount of food that one eats at any one time. This allows you to feel full sooner and stay full longer feeling satisfied. The degree of Band tightness affects how much food you can eat and the length of time it takes for food to leave the stomach which allows you to stay satisfied with a small amount for a longer period of time. As you eat less your body will store less calories and you will start burning fat for energy which increases the weight loss.
The Gastric Band is Reversible.
The Gastric Band is the least invasive safest procedure.
