Gastric Banding involves situating a band around the stomach. According to Dr Behnaz Yazdanfar, This surgery is normally performed using a laproscope. Gastric banding can help the patient to realize more longstanding weight loss by limiting the quantity of food that that can be: Taken in at any one time, reducing the sensation of hunger, and retarding digestion.
The band portions the stomach into a limited upper compartment above the gastric band and a larger pocket below the gastric band, Dr Yazdanfar. This compact division reduces the amount of food that a patient can consume at any single time, and will cause a sense of fullness after after injesting a small volume of food.
Adjusting the diameter of the aperture (stoma) in-between the two compartments of the stomach controlls the volume of food that traverses from the upper to the lower half of the stomach by Dr Behnaz Yazdanfar.
