Lap-Band Procedure
Laparoscopic entry
Small incisions are made in the abdomen to allow the surgeon to insert a camera and specialized instruments.
Band placement
An adjustable silicone band is fastened around the upper portion of the stomach, creating a small pouch that limits how much food you can eat at one time.
Port installation
A small access port is placed under the skin of the abdomen and connected to the band via thin tubing. This port allows the surgeon to adjust the band's tightness later without further surgery.
Creating the "Stomach Pouch"
The band is locked into place, effectively dividing the stomach into a small upper section and a larger lower section.
Post-operative adjustment
After surgery, saline is injected through the port to fine-tune the band's restriction level. These gradual adjustments ensure steady weight loss while maintaining patient comfort.

Lap band surgery, also known as gastric band surgery, is a minimally invasive and reversible weight loss procedure for individuals struggling with obesity. By placing an adjustable band around the stomach, the surgery restricts food intake, promoting weight loss. Patients can expect to lose approximately 50% of their excess body weight.
Key Benefits and Considerations of Lap Band Surgery
Key Benefits
No permanent alterations
The stomach and intestines are not cut, stapled, or rerouted during the procedure, preserving your natural digestive anatomy.
Fully reversible
The silicone band can be surgically removed if necessary, returning the stomach to its original state.
Customizable restriction
The tightness of the band can be modified via a skin port to meet your changing needs.
Reduced malnutrition risk
Because the digestive tract remains intact, the body continues to absorb vitamins and minerals normally.
Considerations
Lower total weight loss
Compared to other bariatric surgeries, patients typically lose weight more slowly and in smaller amounts.
Need for frequent adjustments
The band requires multiple follow-up appointments to inject or remove saline through the access port.
Higher chances of reoperation
Complications such as band slippage, erosion, or mechanical failure may require a secondary surgery.
