Restrictive
gastric banding surgery requires a stay
in the hospital. Procedures may vary
depending on the type of procedure
performed and your physician's
practices.
Gastric banding surgery will be
performed while you are asleep under
general anesthesia. Your physician will
discuss this with you in advance.
Generally, gastric banding surgery
follows this process:
You will be asked to remove clothing and
will be given a gown to wear.
An intravenous (IV) line may be started
in your arm or hand.
You will be positioned lying on your
back on the operating table.
A urinary catheter may be inserted.
The anesthesiologist will continuously
monitor your heart rate, blood pressure,
breathing, and blood oxygen level during
the surgery.
The skin over the surgical site will be
cleansed with an antiseptic solution.
For an open procedure, the physician
will make a single large incision in the
abdominal area. For a laparoscopic
procedure, a series of small incisions
will be made. Carbon dioxide gas will be
introduced into the abdomen to inflate
the abdominal cavity so that the
appendix and other structures can easily
be visualized.
For an adjustable gastric band
procedure, a hollow band will be placed
around the top end of the stomach to
create the small pouch that will serve
as the new stomach. A narrow passage
will connect to the rest of the stomach.
The band will be inflated with a salt
solution.
For a vertical banded gastroplasty
procedure, the pouch will be created
with a line of staples.
A drain may be placed in the incision
site to remove fluid.
The incision(s) will be closed with
stitches or surgical staples.
A sterile bandage/dressing will be
applied.
