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.
