Laparoscopic Gastric Banding Surgery

Gastric banding surgery is a procedure that inserts an adjustable band around the upper portion of the stomach. The band is controlled by a thin tube filled with saline, which can be tightened or loosened through a port just under the skin. Gastric banding limits the speed and volume of food in your stomach, which limits the amount of solid food a patient eats before feeling full.

Gastric banding allows for the slowest, most gradual weight loss of the bariatric surgeries we offer. This procedure offers the fewest complications of any weight loss procedure—in fact, nothing is actually removed or bypassed. As a result, gastric banding is totally reversible, and can be used as a temporary measure to counteract the effects of diabetes or obesity.

Using laparoscopic technology, our surgeons can accomplish a gastric banding procedure in only a few hours.

  • The Advantages of Gastric Banding
  • Less risk of infection
  • Faster recovery time
  • Shorter inpatient stay
  • Less risk of developing a hernia
  • Less scarring
