Laparoscopic Gastric Banding involves placing an adjustable band around the upper part of the stomach to create a small pouch, which limits the amount of food the stomach can hold. This procedure is performed using minimally invasive techniques, offering a quicker recovery time than traditional surgeries.

The gastric band can be adjusted over time to help achieve the desired level of restriction. The procedure is typically recommended for patients with obesity who have not had success with non-surgical weight loss methods.

Postoperative care includes monitoring weight loss progress, managing dietary intake, and making adjustments to the band as needed. Most patients achieve significant weight loss over time with proper diet and exercise.

Laparoscopic gastric banding is a reversible, minimally invasive option for weight loss, providing long-term benefits with proper care and lifestyle changes.
