Lap-Band surgery is surgical procedure that uses an adjustable ring named Lap-Band that is put around the stomach to create a small pouch. The larger part of the stomach is positioned below the band. The purpose of this is to limit your food intake, and thus, to induce weight loss.
The upper part of your stomach is filled when solid food is eaten. When this happens, since the upper part is smaller than the lower part, you would automatically feel full. Besides that, the movement of the ingested food from the smaller pouch down to the bigger one is at a very slow rate. This will ensure that you will have that feeling of fullness for a long period.
Surgical Weight Loss Alternative 1: Gastric Balloon
Gastric Balloon is a surgical procedure that is comprised of three devices such as a silicone balloon, a placement tube, and a filling system.
