Swedish adjustable gastric band (SAGB) Laparoscopic surgery

The Swedish Adjustable Gastric Band causes the section of the stomach sitting above the band to hold a small amount of food. As this section of the stomach fills and stretches, the body sends signals to the brain that the stomach is full and consequently you feel satisfied and eat less.

As your eating patterns change and you become accustomed to eating less, you can achieve sustainable weight loss, which in turn will lead to a healthier lifestyle with less risk of obesity related health problems.

With a Swedish Adjustable Gastric Band procedure, using keyhole surgery, your normal anatomy has not been altered and there is no impact to your normal digestive processes. The food you eat will be absorbed by your body exactly as it was before surgery.
