Lap Band: What is Lap Band and How Does it Work?
Lap Band is an inflatable prosthetic device made up of silicon. Lap Band was approved by FDA in 2001. Lap Band has a band like round structure and it is wrapped around the upper part of the stomach. Lap Band is completely reversible and adjustable. Lap Band is reversible in the sense if patient’s body is not able to tolerate the new thing Lap Band patient is having problems then it can be removed. In other words if Lap Band doesn’t suit the patient it can be removed from his or her body. Lap Band is adjustable because Lap Band can be adjusted time and time again after the surgery according to the patient’s convenience.
Lap Band is wrapped around the stomach and it is done to control the overeating of the patient. When Lap Band is wrapped around the stomach, stomach divides into two pouches and it becomes small. When the stomach becomes small it allows lesser amount of food to go in than that usually used to go. As soon as the pouch gets filled, message is sent to the brain by the stomach that it is filled now and no need to eat more. This band is inserted into the stomach by making five small incisions 1.5mm long, this technique is called laparoscopic surgery. Other methods to insert Lap Band can also be used but, laparoscopic surgery is preferred because there is no pain, no longer stay in hospital and there is no cutting and stapling of stomach. Lap Band can be adjusted after the surgery according to need by the surgeon without any further operation.
After the surgery you are to take care of your diet also. Some eatable things are forbidden to you like coffee, tea, or soda drink. You should be aware that no caffeine is permitted for the first three months after surgery. Carbonated beverages may cause gas, bloating, and an increase in stomach size due to the carbonation. There may be some side effects also like heart burn and might continuously throw up until the body becomes accustomed to the Lap Band surgery. Before going for Lap Band Laparoscopic surgery you should assure that surgeon must be highly trained.
