Gastric Band Treatment in Bangladesh
Obesity is treated surgically with gastric banding. Bariatric surgery is the term for this type of procedure. Since the procedure constricts the stomach, a person will feel full after consuming less food than normal.
The surgeon places an elastic silicone band across the upper part of the stomach using laparoscopy. The silicone band squeezes the stomach, forming a pouch with an inch-wide outlet. The stomach will only accommodate a limited amount of food after banding.
