Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding
Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Binding is a restrictive procedure
where a band is placed around the uppermost part of the stomach, separating the stomach into one small and one large portion.
In this procedure, the band can be adjusted to increase or decrease restriction, surgery can be reversed, and digestion and
absorbtion are normal. In a US study, the mean weight loss three years after surgery was 36.2 percent of excess weight.
