Gastric Banding What is Gastric Banding?
*This mov clip contains scenes which may cause discomfort.
The gastric band is placed around the upper part of the stomach to create a small stomach pouch, which can hold a small amount of food. The lower, larger part of the stomach is below the band. Food will pass through the outlet from the upper stomach pouch to the lower part more slowly and you will feel full longer. The diameter of the band outlet is adjustable to meet your individual needs, which can change as you lose weight. *Information courtesy of Inamed Health. For more information, please click here. |
