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 Victoria

Victoria – Gastric band

“With what I do, I see what families go through everyday having lost a loved one. I don’t want my family going through that grief and pain over me. I was made acutely aware of my own mortality and this was another turning point for me and confirmed what I knew before – I had to make a change before it was too late.”
