Gastric bands are the most popular form of weight-loss surgery in the UK and abroad, but there are still some public misconceptions about the procedure.
More affordable than ever, gastric band prices at Why Go Abroad for Surgery starts start at just £5,450. But for many people, there are still many other questions about Lapbands.
The band itself is an adjustable silicone loop, which goes around the top of the stomach and restricts food intake. Once the weight-loss surgery has been carried out, however, the band can be closely monitored and adjusted further.
Why Go Abroad for Surgery
A spokesman for Why Go Abroad explained further: “The gastric band can be tightened or loosened to control the comfort and speed of weight loss, as required. This can also be important for patients who become pregnant while they have a lapband.”
Gastric band adjustment prices are just £125 and are referred to as either ‘band fill’ (tightening the band) or ‘aspiration’ (loosening the band) to reflect the fact that the band is filled with saline solution.
Band adjustments are carried out under local anaesthetic in a process as straightforward as giving blood.
A new patient can expect several adjustments during the first year, with further amendments made as required afterwards.
