Abstract

The laparoscopic adjustable gastric band is a silicone device placed around the upper aspect of the stomach. It allows restriction of food intake by providing early satiety with smaller portions of food, leading to decreased calorie consumption, weight loss, and comorbidity improvement or resolution. It has proven to be an excellent option for safe, effective, and durable weight loss.
