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.

The action of the mechanism of this procedure is through the restriction and decreased by more than 90% of the absorption area of the stomach that promotes weight loss. Because it presents a reduction in gastric capacity without placing a prosthesis in your body or performing a gastrectomy, furthermore, not presenting postoperative risks to long-term acute and after the removal of the sutures, the stomach returns to normal. The results obtained by patients who underwent to Gastric plication are similar to those of patients who underwent to Gastric Sleeve or gastric banding.
