Gastric Banding Procedure and All about it
In order to lose weight, people usually choose to follow a healthy diet, exercise, or have a surgery. In the following article, Healing Consulting provides you with all what you should know about gastric banding procedure for losing weight.
Gastric Banding Procedure
Stomach band is a surgical procedure performed to patients with obesity to help them lose weight. Gastric band operation is based on using a band to reduce the size of the stomach in order to reduce the amount of food a patient eats, resulting in having a slimmer body shape.
Surgical Process of Laparoscopic Gastric Banding
Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding requires pre-operative medical examinations to ensure the surgical readiness which permits the surgery to be performed, typically under general anesthesia and by using a laparoscope in a minimally invasive surgery that depends on using a small camera that helps the surgeon to divide the stomach into two parts separated by silicone band. One of these parts, especially the upper one, forms a small pouch in which food is held and the other lower part is more spacious into which the food gets slowly, resulting in reducing the feel of hunger, which makes the person feels full after eating small amounts of food.
Gastric Banding Surgery for Weight Loss
Lap band procedure has proved efficient at tackling obesity issues and helping obese patients to lose up to about half of their weight following few weeks of the having the operation and up to three years. Thanks to this operation, losing much weight has become possible, along with following a healthy diet with regular exercise. It should also be noted that expanding, narrowing, or removing the band is based on both the decision of the supervising physician and the amount of weight loss. Moreover, side effects of gastric banding procedure are limited in comparison to its benefits as it is a relatively simple and safe operation that can also be performed within an hour allowing obese patients to start enjoying a new lifestyle away from obesity and surgical scars.
