Adjustable Gastric Band
Approved by the FDA, the adjustable gastric band (AGB) is the safest, least invasive and only adjustable surgical treatment for morbid obesity in the United States. It induces weight loss by reducing the capacity of the stomach, which not only restricts the amount of food that can be consumed, but more importantly, it allows early and prolonged satiety. Patients feel full with a small amount of food, and they are not hungry or looking for food between meals. Since its clinical induction in 1993, over 300,000 AGB procedures have been performed around the world.
