What is a gastric band ?

Gastric banding surgery, also known as gastric banding or laparoscopy, is a weight loss surgery and obesity treatment procedure that helps overweight and obese people change their eating habits, lose weight and improve their overall health.
A gastric band is a silicone band that is placed around the upper part of the stomach, giving it the shape of a timer.
With the gastric band your stomach will shrink in size making you eat fewer amounts of food to feel full, which will then help you lose a significant amount of weight.

How does the gastric band work ?

Placing the adjustable band around the upper part of the stomach irritates the sensors which in turn send a message to the brain to alert it that you are no longer hungry.
Meaning that the gastric band procedure is a restrictive technique which makes it possible to reduce the volume of the stomach as well as the rhythm of the passage of food. However, it does not affect the quality of digestion.
Provoking the feeling of satiety is the principle of the operation.

Who are the best candidates to have the gastric band procedure ?

How is a gastric band placed ?

Before the operation, the doctor will give you general anesthesia.
The procedure is performed by laparoscopy and usually lasts one hour.
Your surgeon will start by making several small incisions in your stomach and inserting a long, thin telescope with a light and a camera lens on one end, called a laparoscope, through the incisions so they can see inside.
Then, the doctor will place the gastric band around the upper part of your stomach to create a small upper pocket.
The ring is held in place by folding part of your lower abdomen over the ring and sewing it to your upper stomach pouch.
Your gastric band is connected to an injection port just under your skin by a thin piece of tubing.
Your surgeon will inflate the ring with sterile fluid after your operation.
The injection port allows your surgeon to inflate or deflate your band and adjust the size of the opening from your upper pocket to your lower pocket, allowing you to control the rate at which your pocket empties.
Your surgeon will then end the operation by closing the cuts, usually with disposable stitches under your skin.

What happens during the recovery after a gastric band ?
