Gastric Band Surgery Overview:
Gastric band surgery, also known as laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LABG), is a minimally invasive procedure for weight loss. It involves surgically implanting an adjustable device around the upper stomach to reduce its size, helping individuals feel fuller faster during meals. The procedure is suitable for those with obesity-related health conditions who have tried other weight-loss methods. Compared to other techniques, gastric band surgery is less invasive, with a lower complication rate and no need for permanent stomach or intestine division. It is performed using a laparoscope under general anesthesia in an outpatient clinic, with patients typically discharged on the same day.

Gastric Band Procedure, Recovery And Post-Procedure Care
Preparation: Prior to surgery, patients are enrolled in a bariatric surgery instructional session, which involves dietary counseling, physical exams, blood testing, stomach imaging, endoscopy, ceasing smoking, losing weight, and adhering to blood-thinning prescription guidelines. Before the surgery, patients will be given specific food restrictions.
During the procedure: Bariatric Surgeons make small incisions in the abdomen to insert tools and a camera, performing a procedure under general anesthesia. They place an adjustable silicone band around the stomach’s upper portion, containing a balloon filled with saline. A short tube with a port is attached to the balloon within the gastric band, positioned beneath the patient’s skin.
After the procedure: After surgery, doctors can adjust the band’s tension using a syringe. Patients who don’t lose weight may need to have their bands tightened. Patients typically return home the same day after surgery, with most taking their regular work after a week. They will be on a liquid diet for the first week or two, with a schedule provided by the surgery team.
Gastric band recovery time: Most people can return to normal activities after two days; however, some may need to take a week off from work. However, the treatment and recovery period are quite brief, like with other bariatric procedures. but the recovery mainly depends on the patient’s overall health condition.
Post-procedure care: The post-procedure care involves dietary suggestions, activity restrictions, prescription pain medications, follow-up appointments, and overall monitoring.

FAQ's
Do gastric bands work?
Yes, the gastric band often leads to weight loss within the first year or two post-surgery, with an average reduction in excess weight.
How does a gastric band help lose weight?
A gastric band aids weight loss by reducing food intake, creating a small pouch in the upper stomach, and slowing food passage into the lower stomach. It also reduces ghrelin, a hormone produced in the stomach that stimulates hunger, and may lead to hormonal changes, such as reduced appetite.
How long does a gastric band last?
The gastric band is designed to last a lifetime, but studies indicate that 35% to 40% of people may need gastric band removal after 10 years due to reasons such as complications and inadequate weight loss.
Is gastric band surgery safe?
Yes, a gastric band is considered safe, with a lower risk of complications due to no stomach or intestine division involved, and additionally, there is an option for removal if needed.
What can you eat after a gastric band?
After gastric band surgery, one is advised to start with clear liquids like water, broth, unsweetened tea, and fruit juices for the initial weeks, and later on regular foods and soft solids, focusing on smooth, easily digestible foods.
