Restrictive Procedure
LAP-BAND® surgery in NJ is a procedure that helps you lose weight by physically changing the size of your stomach. When your stomach is smaller, it reduces the amount of food you can eat at one time. LAP-BAND® surgery may also help you feel full sooner and for longer than usual. As you eat less food, your body will stop storing the excess calories and start using its fat supply for energy.
During LAP-BAND® surgery in New Jersey, the surgeon places a LAP-BAND® around the stomach, creating a small stomach pouch above the band and the rest of the stomach below the band. The small upper pouch holds about 4 ounces (1/2 cup) of food, limiting the amount of food that can be eaten at a meal. Food goes into the smaller stomach pouch and then continues through the digestive tract in the usual order. This allows the food to be fully absorbed into the body. The size of the stomach pouch can be changed by adding or removing saline solution from the band. This is done through a port that is placed below the skin on the abdomen. The tightness of the band affects the amount of time it takes for food to leave the stomach pouch.
