Adjustable gastric banding surgery is the only adjustable weight loss surgery available. A gastric band reduces the size of the stomach without requiring any cutting or stapling of sensitive organ tissue. A silicone band cinches the upper part of the stomach, like a belt, so patients can eat less and feel fuller longer. An access port, placed just below the skin, allows the clinician to tighten or loosen the gastric band so weight loss is fully customized to the needs of the patient. Griffin Hospital in Connecticut works with surgeons who have been placing gastric bands since they were first made available in the US in 2001. These weight loss surgeons perform the procedure using minimally invasive techniques for safe outcomes and reduced recovery time. Learn more about gastric banding surgery >>
