Gastric Banding

Achieving sustainable weight loss requires more than temporary dieting, it demands a medically structured approach designed for long-term success. Gastric Banding in Islamabad is a safe, minimally invasive and highly effective bariatric surgery that has helped people to overcome their obesity and weight problems and health issues. Our comprehensive surgical program is the integration of high-tech technology, the presence of skilled bariatric specialists, and individual aftercare to guarantee the achievement of positive and sustainable results.

 Obesity is not a mere cosmetic problem; it poses a serious medical problem that causes the occurrence of diabetes, high blood pressure, heart diseases, joint disorders and sleep apnea. We are achieving this through adjustable gastric band surgery where we assist the patients to take charge of their health and change their lives through a methodized and medically guided process.

What Is Gastric Banding?

Laparoscopic adjustable gastric band surgery (also referred to as gastric banding) is a minor procedure of weight loss that is meant to restrict the amount of food that is consumed by the body by inserting a silicone band around the upper part of the stomach. This forms a small pouch in the stomachs, which enables patients to get full by taking fewer food portions. 

The band is adaptable and attached to a small opening made on the skin underneath. This port will allow us to add or remove saline, which helps us to control the tightness of the band and ensure the best weight loss outcomes without causing any discomfort to the patient.

The process is particularly advantageous to those who want a reversible and adjustable bariatric surgery with the minimum changes in the anatomical structure.
