Gastric Banding is the placement of a band around the stomach. According to Dr Behnaz Yazdanfar, Gastric banding is usually done laparoscopically. Gastric banding assists the patient with the attainment of more durable weight loss by reducing the amount of food that that can be: Consumed at any one sitting, restricting the appettite, and retarding digestion.
The gastric band splits the stomach into a smaller upper compartment above the band and a larger division below the gastric band, Dr Yazdanfar. This smaller compartment reduces the quantity of food that a patient can injest at any single meal, and cause a sensation of fullness upon after consuming a small quantity of food.
Adjusting the dimension of the passage (stoma) between the two zones of the stomach manages the amount of food that crosses from the upper to the lower pocket of the stomach by Dr Behnaz Yazdanfar.
