Advanced Surgery Method

What is a gastric band?

An adjustable external band that narrows the stomach just below the esophagus, thus reducing the stomach capacity. This in turn restricts food intake which is the key to losing weight. It creates a a sort of small stomach, which fills up quickly. The filled stomach transmits a signal to the brain, which creates a feeling of fullness, even when the person has not eaten too much..

Advantages of gastric banding:

The gastric band makes it impossible to continue large amounts of food.  Years of experience have shown that a gastric band can be easily used with the keyhole technique. The patient has only a few small incisions, no pain, can quickly get up and leave the hospital after a few days.

Of all the operations to reduce the stomach capacity, the lapband method is a low risk operation with huge benefits for certain patients.  Because the tape is used with the key-hole surgery, no large incisions are required and there are no large scars left on your skin, after the surgical procedure.

The Gastric band – how it works:

The adjustable Gastric band is defined by a surgical procedure around the stomach, thus reducing the capacity of the stomach. This allows the stomach to absorb less food. The body receives less food, so it takes off its own fat reserves. The simply is almost instant weight loss. Of all surgical procedures, this method is the simplest and has he lowest  risk of complications. A major advantage of the tape is that its diameter can be adjusted to the specific needs of individual patients. This method of gastric restriction has proven to be very reliable and effective and is successfully used worldwide for almost 20 years. It is the most widely used method in Europe.

Digestion with the gastric band:

The digestive tract consists of mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine and colon. Food enters through the mouth and esophagus into the stomach and is temporarily stored there. The digestive process begins in the mouth with saliva, and continues in the stomach. Enzyme-containing gastric juices split the food, carrying nutrients to the body via the bloodstream. The advantage of a reduced stomach capacity is obvious: One can eat less food and still feel full.

Open surgery:

In some cases, the Gastric band can not be used with the keyhole technique, for example, if the patient already had an abdominal operation . Then the surgeon selects the open surgery technique. After such surgery, there is usually a prolonged hospital stay.
