A Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Band procedure, commonly known as lap band weight loss surgery, is a restrictive process in which a band is placed around the upper part of the stomach, dividing the stomach into two parts, a small portion and a larger part. Food digestion occurs though a normal process, but food is regulated. Due to this, most patients start feeling full faster, thus lowering their food/caloric intake and leading to weight loss.
The advantages of this procedure are that it limits the amount of food consumed at a meal, food is completely absorbed by the body as the food passes through the digestive tract in a normal manner. Also, if required, the procedure can be reversed.
