Adjustable gastric band Treatment in Yeshwanthpur

In this procedure, the surgeon wraps an inflatable silicone band over the top portion of the stomach to treat obesity by decreasing the amount of food consumption.

This type of weight-loss surgery is also known as laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB). The surgeon wraps an elastic band over the stomach's top, which results in a little stomach pouch. Because of the narrow stomach pouch, the individual will feel full after consuming less food, which aids in losing weight.

Why is the procedure performed?

LAGB is a treatment for severe obesity and is recommended for persons who have tried other weight loss techniques. If you are significantly obese and have a BMI of more than 40, your doctor may recommend LAGB. If someone has a BMI somewhere around 35 and 40 and a medical problem like sleep apnea, elevated blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, or type 2 diabetes, a doctor may also recommend it.

Procedure

The surgery procedure usually takes between 30 and 60 minutes. The surgery will be performed under general anaesthesia. As a result, the patient will be unconscious through the surgery.

Laparoscopic surgery weight loss in Yeshwanthpur will be performed by your surgeon. The surgeon will make several small incisions in the upper abdomen. The surgeon will then insert a laparoscope and small surgical instruments into the incisions to carry on the procedure. 

An adjustable gastric band will be wrapped around the patient's upper stomach and tightened to form a small stomach pouch. A small port will be inserted beneath the skin of the abdomen by the surgeon. The port and the band are linked by a tube.

The band is adjustable, and this is accomplished by adding or removing fluid from a balloon wrapped around the band. It is done through the port implanted beneath the skin of the abdomen. A tube connects the port to the band that wraps around your stomach. During post-surgery office visits, your doctor will insert a needle through your skin into the port, and the port is injected with fluid. The fluid enters the balloon through the tube and squeezes the top of the stomach. At each clinic visit, a tiny amount of fluid is usually added while your weight reduction is monitored. Some fluid will be evacuated if the band becomes too tight. 

After procedure care

Individuals are most likely to be discharged the next day. They will be on a liquid diet for the first week or two. Over the next few weeks, the medical experts will provide them with a meal programme. They will progress from liquids to pureed foods, soft foods, and then to conventional food. Each meal portion must be pretty small. Individuals should eat slowly and thoroughly chew each bite. They are advised by doctors not to rush back to regular food. This can result in discomfort and vomiting. 

Work with the healthcare team to determine which foods are best for you. You will need to adjust your eating habits after your stomach heals. Because of your small stomach, you'll need to take smaller meal portions.

It is common to regain a portion of the weight lost after dropping it. The patient is advised to maintain a nutritious diet and engage in frequent exercise to avoid this. Book an appointment to know more about the treatments of Bariatric surgery.
