Laparoscopic Gastric Banding in Eatontown, NJ

The surgeon surgically places a biocompatible adjustable band around the upper part of the stomach, when locked, creates a small stomach and a large stomach. The band is attached by tubing to an access port that is placed under the skin on the abdominal wall, where it can be inflated or deflated.  Where the band is placed on the stomach, now looks like an hourglass, resulting in the small upper stomach only being able to handle a small amount of food.  As the food digests, it passes to the larger stomach.  This modification will allow you to feel full on a small amount of food, thus creating the weight loss process, as you follow the recommended/required diet.
