Lap Band surgery procedure
The procedure consist in a silicone ring that is placed around the upper part of the stomach restricting the amount of food you can eat, this bariatric procedure is designed to help individuals achieve and maintain a healthier weight.
An overview of the Lap Band surgery procedure:
Anesthesia: The surgery begins with administering general anesthesia to ensure the patient is comfortably asleep and doesn’t experience any pain or discomfort during the procedure.
Incisions: The surgeon makes several small incisions in the abdomen to access the stomach area. These incisions are typically less than an inch long.
Placement of the Lap Band: A laparoscopic approach is used, where the surgeon inserts a laparoscope (a thin, flexible tube with a camera) through one of the incisions. The camera allows the surgeon to visualize the surgical area on a monitor. Other small surgical instruments are inserted through the remaining incisions.
Band Placement: The surgeon places an adjustable silicone band around the upper part of the stomach, creating a small pouch. The band is secured in place with sutures or staples. The band creates a narrow passage between the upper and lower portions of the stomach.
Port Placement: A small access port is then implanted beneath the skin, typically near the abdomen. This port is connected to the Lap Band by a thin tube.
Adjustability: The Lap Band is designed to be adjustable. After the surgery, the surgeon can modify the band’s tightness by injecting or removing saline solution through the access port. This adjustment helps regulate the amount of food that can pass through the stomach.
Completion: Once the band is in place and adjusted to the desired level of restriction, the surgeon carefully inspects the surgical area to ensure everything is secure. The incisions are then closed with sutures or surgical tape.
