Gastric Band

Gastric Band Surgery, also known as laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB), is a minimally invasive weight-loss procedure designed to help patients control their appetite and achieve sustainable, long-term results. Unlike other bariatric surgeries, the gastric band doesn’t involve cutting or stapling the stomach — making it one of the least invasive and most reversible options available for individuals struggling with obesity.

The procedure involves placing a soft, adjustable silicone band around the upper portion of the stomach. This creates a small pouch that holds less food, allowing you to feel full sooner and stay satisfied longer. The band is connected to a small access port under the skin, which allows your surgeon to adjust the tightness of the band over time by adding or removing saline solution. These adjustments help regulate your rate of weight loss and ensure long-term comfort and effectiveness.

One of the greatest advantages of gastric band surgery is its adjustability and reversibility. Unlike permanent bariatric procedures such as gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy, the band can be modified or even removed if necessary — giving patients flexibility and peace of mind. Adjustments are performed during follow-up visits, allowing your care team to fine-tune your progress based on your individual needs and weight-loss goals.

At our clinic, the gastric band procedure is performed using advanced laparoscopic techniques, which involve only small incisions. This minimizes scarring, reduces post-operative pain, and allows for faster recovery. Most patients can return home within a day and resume normal activities within a week. Because the surgery is less invasive, it also carries a lower risk of nutritional deficiencies compared to more complex bariatric operations.

Beyond physical transformation, gastric banding is a powerful tool for improving overall health. Many patients experience significant improvement or complete resolution of obesity-related conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, and joint pain. The gradual nature of the weight loss helps your body adapt smoothly to its new rhythm, supporting better energy levels, mobility, and self-esteem.
