Lap band surgery, also called gastric band or gastric sleeve surgery, is a procedure in which a bariatric surgeon places a thin, adjustable ring around the upper part of the stomach which reduces the size of the stomach pouch and means that the flow of food is regulated between the upper and lower parts of the stomach so that a person feels fuller when eating and consequently eats less and loses weight.
Lap band surgery Sydney providers offer these services to patients that want to achieve a healthier weight and diet but that have found other weight loss solutions do not work for them. Using this procedure they can help patients suffering from diabetes or other weight-related health issues. Surgery is proposed by the surgeon after carefully considering a patient’s health history and taking into account their individual preferences for the procedure they wish to use.
