Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding System Gastric Band

Gastric Restrictive Surgeries have evolved and increased in popularity over the last decade to assist persons who are obese. The adjustable gastric banding system is designed to reduce food consumption and thus induce loss of weight.

The Gastric Band is an adjustable device which is placed around the upper stomach. On the inner surface of the Gastric Band device, there is a balloon which can be inflated and deflated post-operatively. Above the band, a small gastric pouch is formed capable of holding only a small amount of food and below the band is the main part of the stomach. During a meal the food enters the small gastric pouch and them passes slowly through the channel, formed by the Gastric Band, into the main stomach - the speed of which is determined by the size of the channel and this is, in turn, dependant on the inflation of the Gastric Band balloon.There are a number of advantages to Gastric Band surgery:The Gastric Band is completely adjustable.

The integrity of the stomach is preserved. There is no cutting or stapling of the stomach and there is no bypassing part of the stomach or intestine.

The Gastric Band can be removed in the future also, if no longer required.
