Adjustable Gastric Band Surgery in Turkey
Adjustable Gastric Band Surgery in Turkey utilizes a device made of silicone (the lap band), which Tour for Cure Weight Loss Surgeons place around the top portion of your stomach to limit the amount of food you can eat before you feel full. Â
The Adjustable Gastric Band Surgery Procedure
The Adjustable Gastric Band Surgery in Turkey is performed with a laparoscopic approach, i.e. the weight loss surgeon uses a tine tubular camera inserted from a minimally invasive incision to reach the stomach and its surrounding organs.Â
Tour for Cure Weight Loss Surgeons precisely place the lap band device and secures it around the top portion of your stomach, limiting the stomach food-receiving size to the small pouch just above the lap band.Â
The lap band has an inner inflatable circular balloon inside it, filled with a saline solution. The expert surgeons use this balloon to resize your stomach pouch’s opening to the rest of the stomach. They do that by carefully injecting or removing some of the saline solution in the inner band balloon, using a small device placed under your skin, called the port.
The Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Band Surgery in Turkey is a reversible solution to obesity and its complications.
How does Adjustable Gastric Band Surgery in Turkey work?
Like gastric sleeve surgery (sleeve gastrectomy) and gastric bypass surgery, the adjustable gastric band in Turkey decreases the functional size of your stomach to make you feel full faster.
The fullness you feel depends on the size of the stomach opening between the pouch and the rest of your stomach, which, as mentioned, is adjustable after surgery according to future assessments of the surgeon to suit your needs. The most prominent effect of the lap band is on the metabolism, with a lesser effect on type 2 diabetes.
Advantages of the Adjustable Gastric Band Surgery in Turkey
The most prominent advantages of the adjustable gastric band surgery in Turkey are that it has the lowest rate of complications after surgery compared to other weight loss surgeries, like the gastric bypass surgery or the gastric sleeve surgery; and the surgeons don’t divide the stomach or the intestine, also compared to the other bariatric surgery options.Â
You can also ask for the lap band to be removed if you need, so again, stomach banding provides a fast solution to the potential complications of the other bariatric surgeries. Moreover, you can go home on the same day of the surgery!
Yet another advantage is that this bariatric surgery approach has the lowest risk for vitamin and mineral deficiencies after surgery, compared to the other bariatric surgery options.
Disadvantages of the Adjustable Gastric Band Surgery in Turkey
The main disadvantage of adjustable gastric band surgery in Turkey is that it is slower and less effective than the other bariatric surgery options in Turkey, because it may need several adjustments and office visits before it can function at full potential.
The lap band also has a risk of slippage over the stomach, which may erode the outer stomach surface in contact with it, but this can be minimized by using a foreign implant to fix the banding device and decrease the risk of reoperation.
Stomach band surgery is less commonly performed in Turkey, compared with the gastric sleeve surgery or the gastric bypass surgery, predominantly because the banding device may be removed due to intolerance.
