Do you have a BMI score above 30 with weight related complications? You could be eligible for gastric banding, a weight reducing operation available in Mississauga, just west of Toronto.
Gastric band surgery has helped thousands of patients worldwide lose weight when diets, exercise and medication have failed.
Performed by the experienced surgeons at The Surgical Weight Loss Centre, our stomach banding procedure encourages stable, long term weight loss.
Gastric banding surgery involves the placement of a LAP-BANDŽ Adjustable Gastric Band around the stomach, creating a small upper stomach pouch. This restricts appetite, limits food intake, and slows digestion.
Since the band is not made of latex, it's safe for those with latex allergies. Patients appreciate the minimally invasive procedure that requires no lengthy hospital stay; our clinic performs most procedures on an outpatient basis.
After the LAP-BANDŽ System placement, we can inflate/deflate the band to find the right adjustment for your individual weight loss goals.
Our patients have lost on average 60-80% of their excess weight. Better yet, some have finally brought various weight-related conditions such as type II diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and cancer under control.
