Banded Gastric Bypass is a surgical method to treat obesity. This procedure restricts the ability of the stomach to eat more. A person feels full after eating less food than he can actually consume. Banded gastric bypass is a minimally invasive and quick surgery that involves placing a band around the stomach which ultimately results in a person feeling full in lesser time. It results in a significant weight-loss and helps in achieving a person’s ideal shape and size.
How does it work?
Banded gastric bypass is a minimally invasive surgery that involves placing a band around the upper area of the stomach so that it limits the food intake capacity of a person. This band eventually creates a small pouch inside the stomach that helps a person in eating less. The surgeon makes a few cuts in the abdomen area to use a laparoscope. The surgery takes usually 45-60 minutes and the patient can go back home the same day or later.
