This band can prolong the time it takes for food to travel to the lower portion of the stomach for digestion.

A Psychological evaluation may be performed prior to surgery along with nutritional education to ensure that you\u2019re prepared for surgery and the changes that come with it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"ProcedureTreatment\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Procedure\/Treatment:<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This surgery can take up to an hour, depending on each individual case. During this surgery, locally administered anesthesia is administered after which multiple small incisions in the upper abdomen allow the doctor to gain visible access. An inflatable <a href=\"https:\/\/www.royalclinicdubai.com\/en-ae\/weight-loss-clinic\/gastric-banding\/\">gastric band<\/a> is attached which creates a pouch-like chamber which is the reason it is also referred to as a lap band surgery. It decreases the quantity of food it takes to get a sense of being full by holding it for longer in the stomach without entering the digestion phase. The pouch size may be increased or decreased by inflating it using saline solution injected through a port hidden under your skin. After a brief recovery period, you can resume your daily activities however a strict dietary plan must be followed after surgery, and regular follow-ups are recommended to increase or decrease the size of the band as and when required.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Aftercare\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aftercare:<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Following surgery, make sure to keep the following instructions in mind.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make regular appointments with your care provider to avoid any risks related to the surgery.

However, it is recommended for its least invasive nature and significant results. The band may require adjustments or later removal but contrary to most gastric surgeries, it does not entail permanent removal of any portion of the digestive tract or realignment so it requires the least amount of recovery time. It also does not impact the digestion process and patients may continue to lose weight for over 3 years following surgery.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Book_a_Consultation\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Book a Consultation<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re planning on getting <\/span><b>Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding Surgery in Dubai, Abu Dhabi &amp; Sharjah<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0or have any queries regarding LAGB, book a consultation with our certified experts at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.royalclinicdubai.com\/en-ae\/weight-loss-clinic\/\">Enfield Royal Weight Loss Clinic<\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">by filling out the form below.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding in Dubai, Abu Dhabi &amp; Sharjah is a bariatric surgery performed by attaching an adjustable band&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":23463,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[405],"tags":[419],"class_list":["post-23461","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-weight-loss","tag-gastric-banding"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.royalclinicdubai.com\/en-ae\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23461","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.royalclinicdubai.com\/en-ae\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.royalclinicdubai.com\/en-ae\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.royalclinicdubai.com\/en-ae\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.royalclinicdubai.com\/en-ae\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23461"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.royalclinicdubai.com\/en-ae\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23461\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.royalclinicdubai.com\/en-ae\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23463"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.royalclinicdubai.com\/en-ae\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23461"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.royalclinicdubai.com\/en-ae\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23461"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.royalclinicdubai.com\/en-ae\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23461"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
