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.

Before and after of gastric band patient Jayne

Jayne – Gastric band

“When I go to a party and I see a table full of food, previously I’d have gone up and down that table, having a piece of everything. Now I am able to regulate. I wish I’d done this 10 years ago. My confidence and energy levels have risen hugely since I had the operation. It’s given me a new life”*
