Laparoscopic Gastric Banding
This is a purely restrictive operation. Performed as a keyhole (laparoscopic) procedure a band is placed around the top of the stomach to provide restriction of the amount of food you can eat at one time. Gradually, the gastric band is inflated in the outpatient’s clinic to increase the amount of restriction felt to continue to encourage weight loss.
