LAP-BAND® Adjustable Gastric Banding System is a minimally invasive surgery that involves applying a prosthesis (the LAP-BAND) around the stomach—creating a small gastric pouch—and a calibrated opening to the rest of the stomach.
The idea behind the operation is to create a small pouch in the upper part of the stomach with a controlled and adjustable stoma, without stapling, thus limiting food intake.
A gastric band device is introduced through tiny (1cm) incisions in the abdomen and is placed around the upper part of the stomach. The resulting pouch (or the "new stomach") dramatically reduces the functional capacity of the stomach. The band has a balloon from the inside that is adjustable and can reduce stoma size, thus prolonging the period of fullness.
The operation is performed under general anesthesia and can last between 30 minutes and 1 hour. The Band is fitted around the uppermost part of the stomach, forming a 15cc small pouch. It is designed so that it can be inflated or deflated at any time after the operation. This helps the patient continually lose weight until they reach their goals. The restriction takes place in the radiology suite and normally takes 15 minutes. This simple procedure is painless they inject saline into a port placed under the skin in the wall of the stomach. The tube that comes off of the band leads to the port.
By creating a smaller gastric pouch, the LAP-BAND System limits the amount of food that the stomach will hold at any time. The inflatable ring controls the flow of food from this smaller pouch to the rest of the digestive tract. The patient will feel comfortably full with a small amount of food. And because of the slow emptying, the patient will continue to feel full for several hours reducing the urge to eat between meals.

Recognising these signs early can help you seek timely treatment and achieve the best possible outcomes.
BMI ≥ 35 with type-2 diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnoea, or joint disease — meeting WHO criteria for bariatric surgery eligibility.
Severe obesity (BMI ≥ 40) alone is an indication for bariatric surgery, even without comorbidities — when lifestyle and medical management have failed.
Failure to achieve or maintain meaningful weight loss despite supervised diet, exercise, and pharmacological treatment for at least 6-12 months.
HbA1c > 8% despite maximal medical therapy — metabolic surgery can achieve remission in 70-80% of T2DM patients.
AHI > 30/hour on polysomnography unresponsive to CPAP — major weight loss from bariatric surgery significantly improves or resolves OSA.
Severe knee and hip osteoarthritis exacerbated by obesity — weight loss of 30-40 kg enables joint replacement surgery and improves outcomes.
