Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LABG) : A modern approach to weight loss

We have heard about bariatric surgery, but now an even more advanced and effective procedure has emerged for weight loss known as LABG or Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding. LABG is a bariatric surgery technique where a silicone band is put around the upper part of the stomach, creating a smaller pouch which will restrict the food intake. This process is adjustable and even reversible.

A step by step process :

  • The patient is first put under anaesthesia.
  • Surgeons make small incisions in the abdomen for the laparoscope and other instruments.
  • The band is then wrapped around the upper portion of the stomach.
  • A thin tube is connected to a port which is placed under the skin, which enables it to adjust the band if needed.
  • Then the incisions are closed with stitches.

LABG has proven to be more beneficial than traditional methods of weight loss surgery, the benefits are :

  • Minimally invasive procedure meaning less scarring and quick recovery.
  • The band can be adjusted in the future.
  • The band is reversible and removable.
  • reduces the risk of nutrient deficiencies.
  • It has fewer complications.

LABG is an effective and less invasive approach for weight management for people dealing with obesity. Get yourself diagnosed and consult your laparoscopic surgeon for understanding the procedure completely.
