A gastric band is an artificial silicone device that looks like a belt or a ring, and this is implanted by keyhole surgery around the top part of the stomach to create a new smaller stomach pouch which then leads to a normal sort of stomach reservoir and this device creates the sensation of fullness after eating and reduced hunger which leads to reduced calorie intake and hence weight loss.
