Lap Banding ( Surgical
Options) A band is placed through tiny
hole in the abdomen and is placed around the upper part of
the stomach. The resulting "new stomach" created
so that it can only accept a tiny fraction of the amount of
food. The band has a balloon from the inside that is
adjustable and can reduce stoma size, thus prolonging the
period of fullness.
