Laparoscopic
Gastric Banding
A
popular laparoscopic procedure, it involves the banding of stomach to
reduce its volume thereby reducing the amount of food that can be
consumed. Performed by surgeons, by administering general
anaesthesia, a silicon band is used for the binding procedure. This
treatment method ensures about 50% weight loss within a year of the
surgery. A follow up of diet and exercise is needed to ensure its
everlasting effect.
This
is yet another laparoscopic procedure aimed at reducing the
utilization of consumed food. To be more precise, this procedure
limits the calories absorbed by by-passing a portion of the stomach
as well as the small intestine. The by-passing is done by binding a
portion of stomach. In the case of intestine, the length is reduced
by cutting it and connecting the cut part to the reduced stomach.
This ensures limited absorption of food. The patients are
administered calcium and vitamins externally to avoid deficiencies.
