Surgical Treatments in Our Hospitals

Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Band (AGB)- It involves an inflatable band that is placed around the upper portion of the stomach and therefore, making stomach smaller. The surgery limits the amount of food the stomach can hold and therefore it is helps in loosing weight.

 

Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy- It is restrictive procedure, in this is approximately 80 percent of the stomach is removed and thus, limiting the amount of food that can be eaten at one time. It does not cause decreased absorption of nutrients.
