Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) is a one of the most safe, reliable & minimal invasive bariatric surgery or bariatric procedure available for obese people.
Dr Randeep Wadhawan with his team has done many Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) in which he puts instruments through the tiny incision. One of the instruments is a laparoscope having a tool with a tiny camera. With the use of camera one can view inside stomach image displayed on monitor & surgeon uses these tools to tie a band around the top portion of the stomach, leaving a very small space available for food. In result gives a obese person a feeling of full stomach after eating only small quantity of food.
