The idea behind lap band surgery or gastric banding surgery is to create a small pouch in the upper part of the stomach with a controlled and adjustable stoma, without stapling, thus limiting food intake. In lap band surgery a gastric band device is introduced through tiny (1cm) incisions in the abdomen and is placed around the upper part of the stomach. The resulting pouch (or the "new stomach") dramatically reduces the functional capacity of the stomach due to which the patients gets satisfied early with a less food intake. The operation of lap band surgery is performed under general anesthesia with a time of one and a half hour. The gastric band is fitted around the uppermost part of the stomach, designed such that it can be inflated or deflated at any time after the operation. This helps the patient continually lose weight until they reach their goals.
