A gastric band is an adjustable silicone band, known as a Lap-Band, that is placed around the top of the stomach, with a very small pouch of the stomach above it. The band is connected to an access port that is placed beneath the abdominal wall, this is used to adjust the gastric band.
The gastric band is the least invasive and safest weight loss procedures that has been widely used for over 35 years. Often a Gastric band surgery can be carried out as a day case or with an overnight stay.
Minimally Invasive
The surgery is minimally invasive, involving smaller incisions and potentially shorter recovery times compared to more invasive procedures.
Reversible
The gastric band procedure is reversible, providing flexibility in case circumstances change or if an alternative approach is desired.
Adjustable Weight Loss
The gastric band’s adjustability allows for gradual weight loss by regulating the size of the stomach pouch, helping individuals achieve and maintain a healthier weight over time.
