How does a gastric band work?

Weight loss

Your weight loss with a gastric band will be a little slower than with the sleeve or bypass, and the total weight loss may be a little lower, but this is compensated for by a number of benefits the other two do not offer. Your band procedure is reversible, it can be done as a day case, any complications are generally easier to manage and it’s cheaper.

My health has improved significantly. My back pain’s better; my hair’s better; my skin’s better and I’ve got more life and more energy.

Before and after of gastric band patient Frank

Frank – Gastric band

I got to the point where I would stop looking at the size of clothes, but then one day I woke up and went to get out of bed but couldn’t. I was stuck and had to roll off the bed. I walked across and stopped in front of the mirror for the first time in years and I thought to myself, what’s happened?

It has made all the difference to me. I don’t have sleep apnoea anymore and my blood pressure problems have gone so I do not have to take tablets for that any more.*
