Gastric banding is a minimally invasive, adjustable weight-loss procedure in which a silicone band is placed around the upper stomach to create a small pouch that limits food intake. It offers a reversible option for weight loss with a shorter recovery than more invasive bariatric procedures.
Recommended for patients with obesity seeking a reversible, adjustable weight-loss solution, particularly those who prefer a less invasive procedure than gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy.
