Lap Band Surgery is the surgery done to insert an inflatable silicone prosthetic device called Lap-Band around the stomach. This Lap-Band is an adjustable device which is adjusted according to the need of the patient via the surgeon. Lap Band Surgery works on the principle that after the surgery stomach allows less food to enter because the size of the stomach is reduced due to the Lap-Band. Lap-Band which is placed around the stomach divides the stomach into two pouches. Upper pouch receives the food and as the food enters into the upper pouch its size increases and it applies pressure on the Lap-Band. Lap-Band inflates and person feels that his hunger has been satisfied. This way, person does not have to remain hungry because of dieting.

 

Lap-Band leaves a small pore between the two pouches of the stomach. This pore allows the food to move into the lower pouch. Digestion takes place in both the pouches and then it is moved into the intestine for further digestion. When it comes to the safety and reliability of the Lap Band Surgery, it is safe and reliable because no cutting and stapling of stomach is done here. It is entirely reversible and adjustable. None of the body part is removed. Person who wants to go for Lap Band Surgery, his Body Mass Index should be above 40. He or she should not be the patient of any untreated glandular diseases.
