The Inflatable Stomach Band Treatment

Doctors treat obesity by placing an inflatable silicone ring around the top of the stomach. This device acts like a physical belt to limit how much food your stomach can hold at once.

This surgical tool effectively creates a small pouch at the top of the digestive tract. Because the band is adjustable, medical professionals can tighten or loosen it over time using a port placed just under the skin. It forces patients to eat smaller portions and feel full much faster than usual. It is a unique mechanical approach to weight management that does not require removing or stapling any part of the body.
