Gastric Banding

Gastric banding is a weight-loss surgery that involves placing a silicone band around the upper part of the stomach. This creates a smaller stomach pouch, which limits food intake and makes you feel full sooner. The band is adjustable; doctors can tighten or loosen it to control how much food you can eat. It's a minimally invasive procedure and often leads to significant weight loss and improved health conditions related to obesity. However, it's essential to combine it with lifestyle changes for the best results. Regular follow-ups with healthcare providers are crucial for monitoring progress.
