Gastric Band Operation The Hospital Group

A Gastric Band, is probably one of the best known weight loss surgery procedures, thanks to high-profile celebrities such as Fern Britton and Sharon Osborne's well publicised success.

The gastric band device is placed around the top of the stomach and makes you feel full faster so that you are able to eat less and therefore lose weight.




The procedure generally delivers weight loss of 40-50% of excess weight and is recommended for patients whose BMI (Body Mass Index) is 35 or over. One of the great benefits of the gastric band is that it can then be adjusted ongoing to suit your weight loss requirements and ensure that your weight loss proceeds at a steady and healthy pace.
