GASTRIC BAND

How does the process of gastric band surgery work?

Gastric band surgery is performed under general anesthesia. The procedure is performed as a so-called keyhole operation or laparoscopy. In the keyhole technique, a total of five skin incisions are made. The silicone band is inserted via one of the working channels between the stomach and the esophagus. With the instruments, the band is positioned and assembled around the upper part of the stomach. Due to the port, a regulation of the gastric band diameter is possible at any time. As a result of this application, the stomach turns into two separate parts. The resulting anterior stomach is limited by its capacity, which prevents a strong food intake.

What requirements do you have to meet?

It is used in patients who have body mass index (BMI) at least 40 (equivalent to 40 kg / m2) or, in special cases, 35 BMI. The minimum age for this is a minimum of 18 years. The patients who have some mental illnesses, alcohol and drug addiction are not suitable for this. Gastric band surgery must present itself as a last resort. After the operation, diet therapy, exercise therapy, and psychotherapy must be planned.

Gastric band: Benefits

Gastric band surgery is a little complicated procedure and takes a few hours.

There is a low risk of complications because the stomach and intestinal organs are not cut. Another advantage is that the gastric band can be removed at any time and relatively easily and thus the procedure is completely reversible. No problems with the absorption of vitamins and minerals have been observed so far. As Aesthetics Antalya, we look forward to contacting you with our team of consultants and informing you further.
