    Adjustable Gastric Band Placement
    (Allergan LAP-BAND® System)

    In this operation, a small band is placed around the upper part of the stomach, creating a pouch. The small size of the pouch means you feel full sooner. Laparoscopic banding is adjustable and reversible. The band size can be adjusted by inflating or deflating it.

    For more information about the lap-band gastrectomy procedure, please contact us.
