GASTRIC BANDING

NOW AVAILABLE THROUGH BRIGHTON BARIATRICS

Gastric Banding (also known as lap banding) is available as a surgical weight loss treatment, performed by a bariatric specialist consultant in Brighton and Hove.

Gastric banding is a purely restrictive surgical procedure in which a silicone band is placed around the uppermost part of your stomach.

This creates a small stomach pouch, the size of a small egg, which restricts the amount of food that can be consumed. The band is adjustable and can be periodically tightened or loosened depending on your needs.

Gastric Banding is a key-hole operation and is usually straightforward, taking an average of 45 minutes to perform and is usually a day case or overnight stay.

Weight loss is gradual and over a period of 12-18 months you can expect to lose 5-60% of your excess body weight.

Complications related to the surgery are rare (less than 1%) however long term complications such as band slippage and erosion can potentially occur.
