Advanced
Cosmetic Surgery offer gastric band surgery for people
suffering with obesity.
The adjustable gastric banding system is designed to reduce
food consumption and thus induce loss of weight. |
|
The Gastric Band is an adjustable
device which is placed around the upper stomach. On the inner
surface of the Gastric Band device, there is a baloon which
can be inflated and deflated post-operatively. Above the band,
a small gastric pouch is formed capable of holding only a
small amount of food and below the band is the main part of
the stomach. During a meal the food enters the small gastric
pouch and them passes slowly through the channel, formed by
the Gastric Band, into the main stomach - the speed of which
is determined by the size of the channel and this is, in turn,
dependant on the inflation of the Gastric Band baloon.
There are
a number of advantages to Gastric Band surgery: |
The Gastric Band is completely
adjustable. - There is no cuttting or
stapling of the stomach.
- The Gastric Band can be
removed in the future.
