After surgery, you’ll need to follow a phased diet that starts with liquids, then progresses to pureed foods, soft foods, and eventually regular foods. Overeating can cause discomfort or vomiting, so it’s important to eat small, balanced meals and chew thoroughly.

How is the band adjusted after surgery?2023-06-22T19:24:06+00:00

The band is adjusted by injecting or removing saline solution through a small device placed under the skin during surgery. This adjusts the size of the opening between the two parts of the stomach, controlling the rate at which food leaves the upper pouch.

Lap Band surgery, or laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding, is a type of weight loss surgery that involves placing an adjustable silicone band around the upper part of the stomach to create a small pouch, which limits food intake and promotes a feeling of fullness after eating small amounts.

Can revision surgery be performed laparoscopically?2023-07-03T20:20:57+00:00

Yes, in many cases, revision surgery can be performed laparoscopically, which often means a faster recovery and less post-operative pain. The feasibility of a laparoscopic approach will depend on your specific situation and the surgeon’s evaluation.

Is revision surgery more complicated than the initial surgery?2023-07-03T20:21:02+00:00
