What is involved in gastric band surgery
Gastric band surgery involves the fitting of a gastric band is a plastic band that is placed around the stomach under local anesthetic and takes around an hour to fit.

The gastric band creates a small pouch that can only hold a small amount of food. The gastric band creates a narrow opening between the pouch and the rest of the stomach. This opening controls the passage of food from the pouch to the stomach. Because the opening is small, it takes a time for the food to pass through. This helps you eat less and feel full at the same time, and is how gradually lose the weight is achieved.
