weight loss

The “Gastric Band”, also known as the “Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding” (LAGB) or simply the "Lap-Band," is a type of weight-loss surgery (bariatric surgery) that involves placing an adjustable band around the upper part of the stomach. 
This procedure helps patients lose weight by restricting food intake and creating a feeling of fullness after eating smaller meals. It's less invasive than other types of bariatric surgeries, as it doesn’t involve altering or removing parts of the stomach or intestines.
