Laparoscopic gastric banding surgery is usually performed through small incisions in the tummy using a camera. This minimally invasive surgical technique results in less discomfort and time off than traditional abdominal surgery. During the 60-90 minute procedure, a band, much like a wristwatch, is fastened around the upper stomach to create a small pouch which restricts the amount of food that can be consumed. In addition to the band, an access port, connected by tubing, is placed in the abdomen wall. This port allows for the size of the band to be increased or decreased with saline. The procedure does not involve cutting or stapling of the stomach or intestines, providing the option to reverse the treatment.
Laparoscopic adjustable gastric band, popularly known as ” lap band ” The procedure entails placing an inflatable silicone device or band around the top portion of the stomach, which reduces the capacity of the stomach, resulting in lesser food intake and thus promoting weight loss . Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding leads to loss of about 40% of excess weight, on average . The procedure helps with weight loss by restricting the amount of food the stomach can hold. The best part of the procedure is that it is reversible and adjustable. Since a small pouch in the upper part of the stomach is created with a stoma which is adjustable and controllable, the doctor is able to regulate the rate of weight loss according to the patients’ requirements. Gastric banding is considered the least invasive weight loss surgery. It is also the safest. The procedure can be reversed if necessary, and in time, the stomach generally returns to its normal size.
Another very important characteristic of this surgery is that, it is minimally invasive procedure of its kind. The process usually requires a shorter stay at the hospital, has a quicker recovery process, lesser scars and marks, and lesser pain as compared to other bariatric surgery procedures.
