Imagine what it would feel like to be free of the burden of obesity. To stop taking pills and medications, or sleeping with a CPAP machine. To play in the yard with your children and grandchildren, or to walk up a flight of stairs with ease. Surgical weight loss treatment can help improve your health, your stamina and your range of motion.
NJ Weight Loss Doctors provide minimally invasive operations to treat obesity. One of the safest and most effective solutions our team offers is laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding. Unlike other weight loss treatment options, gastric banding does not alter the digestive tract or stomach. However, it will reduce your food intake and prompt rapid, steady weight loss.

During gastric banding in New Jersey, the surgeon places a specially designed adjustable band around the upper portion of the stomach and tightens it. This forms a small pouch. Imagine that the stomach now resembles an hourglass, with a small passage between the upper and lower portions of the stomach.
The upper, smaller portion of the stomach can now hold only a small amount of food. Also, the food moves slowly between the upper and lower portion of the stomach as it is digested. Because of this modification, you will feel full faster and eat less, which results in steady weight loss.
If you are losing weight too quickly or slowly, the band can be adjusted. The surgeon will either add or remove fluid through a port connected to the band; these adjustments will tighten or loosen the band to decrease or increase the size of the stomach pouch.
The gastric band is placed laparoscopically, through small incisions with tiny instruments. This reduces post-operative recovery times and scarring and minimizes some of the risks of traditional open surgery.
The gastric band procedure in New Jersey is not what causes you to lose weight — in truth, it is the changes that you make after surgery that produce the desired outcomes. You will need to eat smaller portions of healthy foods and avoid grazing or snacking between meals. You should start to exercise daily and make other modifications to promote an active, healthy lifestyle. For the best results, you will need to commit to making these lifelong changes.
You have the power within you to change your health and happiness. Gastric banding is the tool that makes it possible!
