![]() ![]() Lap Band Surgery in Costa Rica for Weight-loss
It is a form of restrictive weight-loss surgery (bariatrics) designed for patients with a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or greater, or for those with a BMI between 35 and 40 and who have co-morbidities that are known to improve with weight loss. The gastric band is an inflatable silicone prosthetic device which is placed around the top portion of the stomach via surgery. Adjusting the size of the opening between the two parts of the stomach controls how much food passes from the upper to the lower part of the stomach. This opening (stoma) between the two parts of the stomach can easily be decreased or increased, by injecting or removing saline from the band. The band is connected by a tube to a reservoir placed beneath the skin during surgery. The surgeon can later control the amount of saline in the band by piercing the reservoir through the skin with a fine needle. This adjustment is done to achieve the right weight loss for one`s individual needs. Read details of Lap Band surgery
