We perform the Lap Band Mexico at Weight Loss Surgery center. Through several small incisions with the aid of a fiberoptic camera and specialized instruments. This minimizes post-operative pain and recovery. During the surgery, we place an adjustable gastric band around the top part of the stomach to create a small (20cc) gastric pouch without cutting the intestines. A small section of tubing connects the band to the adjusting port that we place under the skin in the abdominal wall allowing easy access for adjustments in the office. The inner lining of the band is a balloon that we fill with saline to narrow the stomach opening, thus limiting the amount of food that can pass.
