Gastric band what is it?
After reading the article published by the daily mail, I wanted to research more into the gastric bands as I was intrigued how this operation can help save many lives.
A gastric band is an inflatable silicone ring that is placed around the upper part of the stomach, creating a small opening to the rest of the stomach. Once in your body, the gastric band controls the amount of food required to fill you up and the speed at which food passes from the pouch to your stomach.
A gastric band is effective at producing weight loss because it enables you to feel more satisfied on smaller portions of food, so you’ll feel full for longer on fewer calories — triggering your body to lose weight.
