What is A Gastric Band Surgery

Gastric band surgery, also known as laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB), is a type of weight-loss surgery that involves placing an adjustable silicone band around the upper part of the stomach. This creates a small pouch above the band, which limits the amount of food you can eat and slows digestion. The size of the opening between the pouch and the lower stomach can be adjusted by injecting or removing saline through a small port placed under the skin.

This procedure helps patients feel full with smaller amounts of food, promoting gradual weight loss. Unlike other bariatric surgeries, gastric banding is reversible and does not involve cutting or rerouting the stomach or intestines. However, the amount of weight loss with gastric banding is typically less than with other procedures like gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy.

Who Is A Good Candidate For Gastric Band?

A good candidate for gastric band surgery is someone who:

✔ Has a BMI of 40 or higher, or a BMI of 30-39.9 with obesity-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, or sleep apnea.
✔ Has tried other weight loss methods like diet, exercise, and medication without achieving long-term results.
✔ Is in good overall health, free from severe health issues that would complicate surgery or recovery.
✔ Is committed to lifestyle changes including long-term dietary adjustments, exercise, and regular follow-up appointments for band adjustments.
✔ Prefers a reversible procedure, as gastric banding is adjustable and can be removed if necessary, unlike permanent bariatric surgeries.
✔ Is not dealing with significant gastrointestinal issues, such as ulcers or inflammatory bowel disease, which may complicate surgery.

A consultation with a bariatric surgeon is essential to determine if gastric band surgery is the right option based on individual health conditions and weight loss goals.

Struggling with Portion Control

If you find it difficult to control portion sizes, gastric band surgery can help by limiting the amount of food you can eat at one time. The adjustable band creates a smaller stomach pouch, helping you feel full more quickly and encouraging gradual weight loss.

Planning for Long-Term Weight Management

The adjustable nature of the gastric band allows for ongoing management of your weight loss. Regular follow-up appointments are essential to adjust the band for optimal results, making this a good solution for long-term, sustainable weight loss.

Preferring a Reversible Solution

Unlike other bariatric procedures, the gastric band is reversible and adjustable. If you're seeking a weight loss surgery that offers flexibility, this option allows for adjustments in the tightness of the band to manage weight loss over time.

Health Improvement Goals

If you're dealing with obesity-related conditions like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure, gastric band surgery can contribute to significant health improvements as weight loss progresses.

Concerns About Recovery Time

Gastric band surgery is minimally invasive, typically performed laparoscopically. This results in shorter recovery times, with most patients able to resume normal activities within a week.

Worried About Scarring

Since gastric band surgery is performed laparoscopically, it involves only small incisions, leading to minimal scarring. This minimally invasive approach reduces visible marks and promotes faster healing.

How Is Gastric Band Surgery Done?

At Prime Health Turkey, we prioritize your health and comfort. We’re committed to delivering the results you desire while supporting and guiding you from start to finish.

Anesthesia

The procedure begins with the administration of anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the surgery. Depending on your needs, this can be general anesthesia, where you're fully asleep, or intravenous sedation, which keeps you relaxed but semi-conscious.

Laparoscopic Procedure

Gastric band surgery is typically performed laparoscopically, meaning small incisions are made in the abdomen. A laparoscope (a tiny camera) is inserted through one incision, allowing the surgeon to view the internal area without making large cuts.

Closure and Recovery

Once the band is securely in place, the small incisions are closed with sutures or surgical staples. Patients typically recover quickly due to the minimally invasive nature of the surgery, and most can return home within a day or two. Full recovery and return to normal activities usually take about 1-2 weeks.

Placing the Adjustable Band

An adjustable silicone band is carefully placed around the upper part of the stomach, creating a small pouch. This pouch limits the amount of food the stomach can hold, helping the patient feel full with smaller portions.
The band is connected to a small port placed just under the skin. Through this port, the surgeon can inject or remove saline to adjust the tightness of the band, controlling the size of the stomach opening and how much food can pass through.

What to Do Before Gastric Band Surgery

Proper preparation is key to ensuring a smooth surgery and recovery. Here's what you should do before undergoing gastric band surgery:

✔ Discuss your medical history and expectations with your surgeon to confirm you're a good candidate.
✔ Follow a high-protein, low-carbohydrate pre-surgery diet as recommended by your surgeon.
✔ Stop smoking and drinking alcohol at least 4 weeks before surgery for better healing.
✔ Avoid blood thinners, NSAIDs, and supplements as directed by your surgeon.
✔ Arrange for post-surgery support and transportation after the procedure.
✔ Prepare your home with liquids and soft foods for the recovery period.
✔ Follow fasting instructions, typically avoiding food and drink for 8 hours before surgery.

These steps will help ensure you are well-prepared for the procedure and support a successful recovery.

What to Expect During Gastric Band Surgery Recovery

First Few Days

In the initial days following gastric band surgery, you may experience some discomfort, swelling, and minor bruising around the incision sites. Pain medication will be prescribed to manage any discomfort you feel. During this time, you will be placed on a liquid diet to give your stomach time to heal properly. Gentle walking is encouraged to promote blood circulation and reduce the risk of blood clots, but it’s important to avoid any strenuous activity to allow your body to recover.

Gastric Band (9).webp

Transition to Soft Foods Later

After the first few days, you'll gradually transition from liquids to soft foods, allowing your stomach to adjust. Following your surgeon’s dietary instructions is critical at this stage to ensure proper healing and avoid complications. During this time, many patients are able to return to non-strenuous work within 1-2 weeks. Light physical activity such as walking is beneficial, but heavy lifting and vigorous exercise should still be avoided.

Band Adjustment and Long-Term Recovery

Around 4-6 weeks post-surgery, you’ll likely have your first band adjustment. This is when the band is tightened or loosened by injecting or removing saline through the port under your skin, helping you better control food intake. During this period, you’ll gradually return to eating normal foods while increasing your physical activity. Regular follow-up appointments with your surgeon are essential to monitor your progress, adjust the band as needed, and ensure long-term weight loss success.
