RESULTS OF THE GASTRIC BAND
After the surgery, the gastric band will help you lose weight on an ongoing basis; however, weight loss is more significant with a gastric bypass, but it is enough for people with obesity that are looking to change their lifestyles. After the surgery, you will notice the results. Our doctors can adjust the band if you’re not losing weight how you expected or if you’re having any problems with the gastric band. It is even possible to lose only half of the expected weight or more than the standard. It will all depend on how your body reacts, which is why you must be in touch with the specialists.
On the other hand, while weight loss is the most significant benefit of the gastric band surgery, there are others, like the disappearance of medical problems like gastroesophageal reflux, coronary pathologies, lowering of blood pressure, severe sleep apnea, type II diabetes, and generally, a betterment of overall quality of life, self-assurance and autonomy.
