Lap Band Surgery Abroad

Lap Band Surgery, also known as Gastric Band Surgery is a weight-loss surgery which uses an inflatable silicone band to create a small gastric pouch in the stomach, slowing down food consumption and limiting food intake. The surgery is performed to help patients with weight-loss after non-surgical methods such as change of diet and regular exercise, have failed to produce results.

Recommended for:
- Patients who have a BMI of 40 or higher and have failed to lose weight through change of diet or exercise
- Patients with a BMI of 35-40 who also have health conditions such as diabetes, sleep apnea, high blood pressure or osteoarthritis
Number of days in hospital: 1 – 3 days
Average length of stay abroad: 2 weeksThe doctor should ensure that the patients condition is stable enough to travel.
Number of trips abroad needed: 1Follow up visits may be needed to monitor progress and increase the restriction by filling the band with saline solution, however this can also be performed by a doctor at home.
How it is performed:A laparoscopic adjustable band or lap band surgery is a device placed around the top portion of the stomach to create a smaller stomach pouch. This restricts the amount of food that can be consumed at one time and the client achieves weight loss by limiting intake, reducing appetite and slowing digestion. The lap band procedure is the least invasive surgery of it’s kind and typically results in a shorter hospital stay, faster recovery, smaller scars and less pain than open surgical procedures.The patient is administered a general anesthetic before the procedure begins. The surgeon creates several small incisions in the abdomen, in order to access the stomach. The gastric band is inserted and locked around the stomach, creating a small stomach pouch.A small tube connects the gastric band to a device just beneath the surface of the skin. Through this, a saline solution can be inserted into the band to expand it, thus increasing the size of the stomach further over time.
Anesthesia:General anesthetic.
