Regain Control of your Weight
The ‘Gastric Band’ weight-loss procedure Aria Medical Group has been changing the lives of people in Gibraltar for many years, with procedures that deliver long lasting, proven results, boosting confidence and well being. Aria’s medical team is now bringing its expertise and caring attitude to address the major health and wellbeing challenges of obesity. Surgery is increasingly recognised as a very effective and life changing solution to obesity for suitable clients. There are a number of options available; however Aria Medical Group offers the ‘Gastric Band’ or ‘Lap band’ procedure. Advantages This procedure offers a number of advantages over alternatives, as it provides significant and long term weight-loss, using a safe and fully reversible procedure. During gastric band surgery the band is inserted into the abdomen using ‘keyhole surgery’, minimising the impact of the procedure.
The saline inflated band encircles the upper part of the stomach, dividing it into two sections; a smaller part is created at the top, which can hold a small amount of food, making you feel full and satisfied sooner. The food then passes through the restricted opening, formed by the band, into the remainder of the digestive tract. Here it is digested and the nutrients absorbed in the normal manner. The band is adjustable, to create the correct amount of restriction for you to achieve a slow and long lasting weight loss without adverse effects on your nutrition. Although no surgery is without risks, this procedure is considered by the medical profession to be one of the safest options and offers similar results to far more invasive alternatives such as gastric bypass and stomach stapling. Seminar To find out more, simply book a free consultation or attend one of Aria’s highly informative seminars when you will meet a recent client who had Gastric Band surgery when he was over 130 kilos (20 stone) and is now a healthy 90 kilos (14 stone).
