Gastric Sleeve Surgery by Dr Daniel Huacuz Guizar expert bariatric surgeon

The Lap Band " Adjustable Gastric Banding System" is the newest and the only

Adjustable and Reversible surgical treatment for morbid obesity in the United States, It

induces weight loss by reducing the capacity of the stomach, which restricts the amount of

food that can be consumed.

This minimally invasive surgical procedure eliminates the need for drastic stomach stapling

and by-pass, for normal digestion.

The newest and least invasive surgical technique is the Lap Band system.

The band is placed laparoscopically (or using "keyhole" surgery) around the upper part of

the stomach thus dividing the stomach in two parts, this creates a new small stomach

pouch and leaves the larger part of the stomach below the band so the food storage area in

the stomach is reduced, and the pouch above the band can hold only a small amount of

food.
