Before gastric banding, patients should meet with the bariatric team. They will usually put patients onto a pre-surgical diet, normally a low carbohydrate diet. Patients should also engage in exercise for roughly half an hour a day in the run-up to surgery and the surgical team will also involve usually assessments of the dietician and or a psychologist.
