Gastric Band Surgery Essex

A Gastric Band is a silicone prosthetic inflatable device that is secured around the stomach, in the top half, which divides it into two sections, thereby diminishing its size and decreasing the quantity of food that can be eaten. Women and men who have not received decent outcomes from traditional modes of weight loss, exercise and diet, for instance, and have long-suffered obesity, are ideal nominees for this procedure. There are plenty of advantages to this operation, which are: Smaller incisions, scarring is minimal where the surgery takes place, and without the need for further surgery, adjustments can be made at any time.

Court House Clinic surgeons conduct the surgery using narrow incisions to wrap the Gastric Band around the patient’s stomach. The band will be inflated and adjusted via a thin access port placed just beneath the skin. Saline is added to the Gastric Band using the port resulting in its expanding, therefore limiting the passage size between the pouch and the stomach, reducing any food movement.
