Laparoscopic gastric banding is usually done at the Specialty Hospital with very high success rate under the surveillance of very skilled team of doctors .The surgeons uses laparoscopy to place an adjustable silicone band around the upper part of the stomach. A plastic tube runs from the silicone band to a device just under the skin. Saline (sterile salt water) can be injected or removed through the skin, flowing into or out of the silicone band. Injecting saline fills the band and makes it tighter. In this way, the band can be tightened or loosened as needed to reduce side effects and improve weight loss.
The surgery is done in a duration of nearly one hour, and the patient needs to sleep over one day in the hospital after doing it.
Gastric banding leads to loss of about 35% to 45% of excess weight. However, these results vary widely. Gastric banding is considered the least invasive weight loss surgery and also the safest. The procedure can be reversed if necessary, and in time, the stomach generally returns to its normal size.
Advantage
Gastric banding does not interfere with food absorption. For this reason, vitamin deficiencies are rare after gastric banding.
