How is the gastric band operation performed? The gastric band operation is performed under general anesthesia and via keyhole surgery, which means that we do small holes on the abdominal wall and we work via a camera on a monitor and we insert a silicone ring and positioned it around the upper part of the stomach. The purpose of this device is to cause restriction of food from this upper part of the stomach to the distal stomach, which means reduction of calories and weight loss.
