Gastric Band

Gastric Band is a type of weight loss surgery that involves placing an inflatable band around the upper part of the stomach to create a small pouch above the band and the rest of the stomach below the band. This procedure reduces the amount of food the stomach can hold, thereby causing weight loss. The band's tightness can be adjusted by injecting or removing saline solution through a port placed under the skin.

Success Rate: Approximately 50-60% of patients achieve successful weight loss over the long-term.

Recovery: Most patients can return to normal activities within 1 to 2 weeks. However, diet progression and adjustment of the band requires several weeks to months.

Mini Gastric Bypass

The Mini Gastric Bypass (MGB) is a short, simple, and successful laparoscopic weight loss surgery. It involves the creation of a small, tube-shaped stomach pouch and bypasses a portion of the small intestine, which reduces calorie absorption. This procedure is reversible and can be modified according to the patient's needs.
