Gastric banding is another laparoscopic bariatric surgery that helps to reduce weight. In this procedure, a surgeon places a band around the upper part of the stomach to make a small pouch to hold food. This band helps to limit the amount of food that you can eat.
This band makes you feel full even after eating small amounts of food. The food from the upper part slowly empties into the main part of the stomach.
After surgery, the doctor can adjust your band to make food pass at the required pace. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia. It takes about 30 to 60 minutes for an experienced surgeon to perform the surgery.
