Lap Band (Gastric Banding)
Gastric banding, commonly known as Lap Band Surgery, was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for safe and effective weight loss. It is a silicone band – like a ring or belt – that is placed around the upper part of your stomach.
It is designed to place a precise level of pressure on the nerves around the upper part of your stomach so they send signals to your brain that you are not hungry. Because the band also constricts the upper portion of your stomach, you will eat less food at one time and still feel satisfied.
The Lap Band system includes a small access port that is safely placed under your skin. The port is not visible and it is unlikely that anyone will know you have the band, unless you tell them.
The band is adjusted by adding or removing saline through this access port with a small needle to ensure it continues providing optimum weight loss results. True Results has the the most experienced team of weight loss surgeons in America and pioneered performing this procedure in an outpatient setting.
Sleeve Gastrectomy (Gastric Sleeve)
Sleeve gastrectomy is a surgical weight-loss procedure in which the stomach is reduced to about 20% of its original size. Gastric sleeve is a restrictive procedure where the about 80% of the stomach is removed, leaving a small vertical sleeve of stomach which is about the size of a small banana. This procedure is not reversible.
This procedure limits the amount of food you can eat and helps you feel full sooner. It allows for normal digestion and absorption. Food consumed passes through the digestive tract in the usual order, allowing it to be fully absorbed in the body.
The majority of sleeve gastrectomy procedures are performed using a laparoscopic technique, which is considered minimally invasive. This procedure can be done in an outpatient, same-day surgery center or an inpatient hospital setting.
