Gastric Banding is the placement of a band around the stomach. According to Dr Behnaz Yazdanfar, Gastric banding is usually done with the application of a laproscope. Gastric banding can assist the patient with the achievement of longer lasting weight loss by reducing the volume of food that that can be: Taken in at any one meal, limiting the sensation of hunger, and retarding digestion.
The band bisects the stomach into a compact upper section above the band and a division below the gastric band, Dr Yazdanfar. This small pocket reduces the quantity of food that a patient can injest at any one time, and will cause a sense of fullness upon after injesting a small amount of food.
Managing the size of the hole (stoma) in between the two sections of the stomach manages the quantity of food that flows from the upper to the lower half of the stomach by Dr Behnaz Yazdanfar.
