Weight Loss Surgery: Features

The surgical procedure installs a special adjustable gastric band and fixes it on the stomach. This procedure is a real way out for obese patients. It leads to a significant restriction of food intake, eliminates problems after fasting (such as lack of energy or hunger). Gastric Lap-Band System (France)is a mechanism, which divides cavity of the stomach in two parts. Thus, the upper section stores 10-15 ml, and the lower one forms larger part of the stomach. The device is adjustable silicon band of 13 mm width is placed around the upper part of the stomach, and it forms a ring after closure.

Why Is It Effective?

Main aim of this ring is to make the patient feel satiated by increasing the pressure in the upper part of the stomach after first meal. Thus, it is based on creating "small stomach" , which is fixed below the cuff. During the meal, only small amount of food gets in the upper section of the stomach, and then the food slowly goes through the small MTG in the lower section. It allows to simulate the stomach's satiety and to have a long-lasting effect on gastric mucosa receptors. Then, nerve-endings impulses provide signals to brain, pleasure centers are irritated, and it keeps you feeling full for a long period.
