Gastric Banding is the placement of a gastric band around the stomach. According to Dr Behnaz Yazdanfar, Gastric banding is usually achieved with the use of a laproscope. Gastric banding can assist the patient with the realization of longer lasting weight reduction by limiting the quantity of food that that can be: Injested at any single time, limiting the craving for food, and slowing digestion.
The gastric band compartmentalizes the stomach into a limited upper compartment above the band and a larger zone below the gastric band, Dr Yazdanfar. This compact half restricts the amount of food that a patient can eat at any one meal, and results in a sense of fullness upon after consuming just a little portion of food.
Controlling the degree of the hole (stoma) in-between the two pockets of the stomach controlls the quantity of food that flows from the upper to the lower compartment of the stomach by Dr Behnaz Yazdanfar.
