Adjustable Gastric Band

Learn about the adjustable gastric band procedure or stomach band surgery.

An adjustable gastric band essentially makes your stomach smaller. The adjustable band placed around the top portion of your stomach makes you feel fuller, faster. So you eat less and lose weight.

The stomach band surgery itself is the least invasive of all the weight loss surgeries. There’s no cutting, stapling or rerouting of the bowels. There are small incisions, which minimize scarring. The hospital stay is usually less than 24 hours, with most patients returning home the same day.

The adjustable gastric band is connected to an access port on the abdomen wall under the skin. By adding or removing saline to the band, the practitioner can control the amount of food that can be consumed, and keep pace with your weight loss goals and overall progress.

There are certain medical conditions that may keep you from having adjustable gastric band surgery.

Please contact us to talk to our trained medical professionals about any pre-existing medical condition you may have. Surgery candidates must also meet certain Body Mass Index requirements for Lap Band or Realize Band Surgery.

Also note that for many people, gastric band surgery may be covered by insurance. Request an initial consultation if you'd like to begin your insurance verification process.

The sooner you call to make an appointment, the sooner you can start living the kind of life you’ve been wanting to live.
