Laparoscopic adjustable gastric band, popularly known as "Lap band" or "Gastric band" is a minimally invasive, swift, reversible and adjustable weight loss surgery procedure. The procedure entails placing an inflatable silicone device or band around the top portion of the stomach, which reduces the capacity of the stomach, resulting in lesser food intake and thus facilitating weight loss.
You may be a candidate for lap-band surgery if your Body Mass Index is more than 40 or more than 35 with obesity-related health conditions; you weigh twice the ideal weight or are 100 pounds overweight; between 18 and 60 years and are committed to making changes in your diet and lifestyle.
Gastric band surgery is done laparoscopically usually under general anesthesia. 1 to 5 small incisions are made in the abdomen for laparoscopy and instrument insertion.
An adjustable silicone band is squeezed around the stomach to give an opening of an inch. A tube runs from a silicone band just below the skin. It allows injection of saline in and out of the band for adjusting the band over a period of time.
Recovery after a gastric band is quick, though you may feel a little uncomfortable for a couple of days after the procedure. Most people are able to resume their routine activities in about a week to 10 days. You need to be cautious of the food and diet you take to avoid cramps and nausea. A strict regimen about the diet should be followed as per the surgeon's and dietician's recommendation for quick recovery. Typically, it'll be about ten days before you can go back to work, and about a month to six weeks before you can start exercising again.
You can expect to lose about 1-1/2 to 2 pounds per week and about 40-50% of the excess weight within the first year of surgery. The individual results may be more or less than the average because weight loss is dependent on a combination of factors including the starting weight, the diet after surgery, and the amount of exercise the patient does.
We at IndiCure completely understand your concerns and it is always our endeavor to provide the best outcome for every patient. Following is the list of questions you must ask before you embark on your journey for Gastric Banding Surgery in India.
Prepare to answer questions about your:
You can expect to lose around 40-50% of your excess weight after Gastric band surgery. The outcome of the surgery also depends on how much you adhere to the recommended diet and how frequently you visit your doctor for the band adjustment.
You may be a candidate for lap-band surgery if your Body Mass Index is more than 40 or more than 35 with obesity-related health conditions like Diabetes, Hypertension, etc.
You may experience minor side effects like nausea and vomiting, Gastro-esophageal reflux (indigestion, acidity), etc. after the procedure.
The major side effects may include ulceration at the band site.
It is advisable that you avoid alcohol for at least the first two months after the procedure. Alcohol is heavy in calories and contains no nutrients, so you must be careful of the quantity you intake. It can also increase appetite, which is still another reason to avoid excessive drinking.
Diet plays a very important role after any weight loss surgery and so is the case with Gastric band. Your surgeon and dietitian will advise the diet that you need to follow post surgery.
Though you are allowed to take almost all kinds of food items, you may not be able to tolerate certain foods like pasta, rice, bread, raw vegetables, and meats, and may need to be careful while taking them. The basic premises to be followed are portion control, eating slowly and thoroughly chewing the food, taking frequent, smaller meals, avoiding water or any other drinks 30 minutes before and after the meals.
A gastric band, unlike a gastric bypass or a sleeve gastrectomy, does not require any permanent changes to your body, in terms of removing a portion of your stomach or rerouting and stapling your body. It's entirely reversible and can be taken off at any time.

I recently traveled to Mumbai for a lower body lift and breast lift. As an American nurse living in Saudi Arabia I was apprehensive at first and did months of research. I chose IndiCure because of Dr. Jagannathan. I traveled alone and spent almost 3 weeks there undergoing 2 separate procedures. I was pleasantly surprised. The surgeries both went flawless. All of the hospital staff was amazing. Read Michelle Williams's Review About IndiCure Here
