What is Gastric Banding?
Gastric banding involves placing a band around the upper part of your stomach. This creates a small pouch, which restricts food intake. You’ll feel full after eating less food. The surgery is laparoscopic, meaning it’s done through small incisions. This results in less pain and a faster recovery time.
