Gastric Banding Surgery
The laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding surgery procedure involves placing an adjustable, inflatable silicone band around the upper part of the stomach. The technique makes the capacity of stomach smaller, thereby restricting the amount of food that can be eaten. Patients generally can return to work after about one week. In addition, the gastric band can be adjusted (without further surgery) later to enhance weight loss.
