Revisional Surgery After Gastric Band Surgery (Gastric Banding)
The gastric band is one of the older surgical procedures that was used for weight loss, but it was associated with many health problems and did not achieve significant success.
Gastric Band Surgery (Gastric Banding)
Gastric band surgery is a type of bariatric surgery that can be adjusted and reversed. It involves placing a silicone band, known as a gastric band, around the stomach, which reduces the stomach’s capacity to hold larger amounts of food and slows the passage of food through it, thereby helping with excess weight loss.
Causes of Gastric Band Failure and the Need for Revisional Surgery After Gastric Banding?
- Slow and insufficient weight loss.
- Persistent vomiting and nausea.
- Worsening symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux.
- Increased sensation of severe heartburn.
- Severe difficulty swallowing.
- Slippage or displacement of the gastric band.
- Increased friction against the stomach wall, leading to inflammation and ulceration.
- Stomach obstruction and inability to eat.
