Adjustable Gastric Banding
GASTRIC BAND REMOVAL SURGERY AS LOW AS $9,750
One type of weight loss surgery is adjustable gastric banding. This surgery involves placing an inflatable silicone band around the upper part of the stomach. The gastric band is inflated, shrinking the upper stomach pouch, restricting stomach capacity, which helps you eat less and feel full longer.
At Surgical Healing Arts, we work with patients who need an adjustment or removal to their gastric band, whether they had it done with us previously or with another practice. Regular follow-up is critical for optimal results.
