Gastric sleeve gastrectomy, also called gastric banding or restrictive banding, is an invasive weight-loss technique in which a portion of your stomach is removed, usually by surgical excision of a large part of the upper stomach, usually around the larger curvature. The resulting tissue is an elastic band or sleeve like structure attached to the top layer of your stomach. Gastric banding can be used for weight loss and it's a very popular procedure. It's effective, safe and permanent and has been shown to reduce food intake and calorie burn. A sleeve gastrectomy removes the band and the excess stomach fat that's left over by the surgery. The excess stomach fat is then reabsorbed into the body.

There are many benefits to gastric banding, including weight loss. The banding is made up of a series of plastic tubes, and these tubes are attached to each other and to the band's inner lining. These tubes are connected by long, thin ciliates, and these ciliates are usually cut to an exact fit. When they're placed together, they make up a band, and the ciliates serve as the band's lining. The band helps to squeeze the excess stomach fat into small spaces, thereby reducing the amount of calories absorbed by the body. While gastric banding is an invasive weight loss procedure, it is generally performed under general anesthesia and it is usually covered by medical insurance. Since the gastric band is attached to a specific area of your stomach, you'll need to follow your doctor's prescribed diet and exercise program for at least 12 weeks to achieve the best results.
