Gastric Band - Why Go Abroad?
The Gastric Band is an adjustable banding system that places a small inflatable
silicone band around the upper part of the stomach which restricts the amount of
food that the stomach can hold.
The amount of food that can be consumed at one time is limited because of the new
smaller upper pouch that is created by the Gastric Band.
This reduction in food intake results in weight loss of the patient.
The silicone ring is placed around the upper part of the stomach, and the inner
surface of the band is filled with saline which creates a new small stomach pouch,
which in turn can only hold a small amount of food as the stomach storage area is
reduced.
Adjustment of the band
A tube is connected to the Gastric Band which is connected to an access port placed
beneath the skin during surgery. This access port allows the surgeon to change the
size of the band by adding or subtracting saline to the inner balloon of the band.
Benefits to the patient
Benefits to the patient include less trauma. The band can increase or decreased
restriction. Digestion is not affected by the surgery and the surgery can be reversed
if required.
