What is laparoscopic adjustable binding?

Laparoscopic adjustable gastric binding is one of the most common bariatric (weight-loss) surgeries in the world. It is a minimally invasive, swift and reversible surgical procedure which is why it is preferred over other surgical procedures. It is also known as “lap band” or “realise band”.

Who needs laparoscopic adjustable binding?

This surgery is recommended for people suffering from obesity and who have failed to lose weight by other means like exercising and dieting. It is typically advised to people who are extremely obese, i.e., with the Body Mass Index 40 or higher or obese, i.e., with the Body Mass Index of 35 to 39.9 and have severe weight-related health problems like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease or severe sleep apnea.

What is the procedure for laparoscopic adjustable binding?

Mentioned below is the procedure for laparoscopic adjustable binding:

  • The procedure involves placing a band that contains an inflatable balloon around the upper part of the stomach.
  • The balloon is fixed in place and ends up creating a small stomach pouch on top of the band with an extremely thin opening to the rest of the stomach.
  • And, under the skin of the abdomen a port is placed which is connected to the band by a tube.
  • The size of the balloon can be adjusted according to the needs of the patient.

This is a restrictive approach. The small size of the stomach restricts the quantity of food that person can hold which makes people feel full quickly and eat less.
