What are the advantages of having Lap Band Surgery in India?

Gastric banding is preferable in most cases of obesity because it is done laparoscopically. This means that instead of an incision several inches long down the abdomen, the procedure is performed using only a few small incisions, all of which are less than half an inch long. A silicon band is placed around the top of the stomach, reducing its capacity. The band – and the capacity of the stomach – can be adjusted by your surgeon by injecting or removing a saline solution.
