Adjustable-Gastric-LapBand-Surgery
Gastric Lap Band Surgery is a surgical procedure involving the placement of an adjustable belt/band around the upper portion of the stomach using a laparoscope. The band which is made of silicone can be tightened by adding saline to fill the band (like blowing air into a doughnut-shaped balloon). The band is connected to a port that is placed under the skin of the abdomen. This port is used to introduce or remove saline into the band. This procedure restricts the size of the stomach, thus the amount of food it can hold and slows the passage of food to the intestine. By doing so, signals to the brain from the gut allow for a sensation of fullness with consumption of less food.
