Technique

The band acts like a belt placed on the upper, outer part of the stomach. When adjusted, it creates a small reservoir with a capacity of 30 to 50 ml, which communicates with the rest of the stomach through a narrow channel.

The upper reservoir provides a feeling of satiety and decreases the amount of food eaten. It does not have metabolic complications, diarrhea or vitamin losses. Post-operative recovery is fast.
