Call today to find out if it’s a good solution for you.

What is Gastric Banding?

Placement of a laparoscopic adjustable gastric band is one of the safe and effective. It was first performed in 1978. The initial procedures used a non-adjustable band around the top part of the stomach to divide it into two pouches. Unfortunately, the pouches gradually dilated, and the operation proved ineffective for long-term weight loss.

By 1986, scientists had developed an adjustable band lined with an inflatable balloon, which proved much more effective at reducing weight for patients. If you’re considering having an adjustable gastric lap band placed, the surgical practice at Advanced Surgical & Bariatrics of NJ, PA (ASBNJ) enjoys a world-class reputation. Their commitment to quality patient care is second to none, and they have six convenient locations in central New Jersey to serve you.

Our practice uses the LAP-BAND ™ gastric banding system. We implant two devices in the abdomen: a silicone band and an injection port. The silicone band is placed around the upper part of the stomach, creating two connected chambers of the stomach. The injection port is attached to the abdominal wall underneath the skin and connected to the lap-band with soft, thin tubing. The lap-band is adjustable and several adjustments will be made periodically after the procedure is completed to assure the appropriate level of restriction. The physician uses a needle to inject saline solution into your band through the port, increasing the amount of restriction provided by the band, which in turn can help you feel fuller.

After you’ve tried countless diets, joined a few gyms or visited alternative medicine providers, you’re ready to listen to a licensed doctor about how to lose weight. Turn to the weight loss surgeons at Advanced Surgical & Bariatrics of NJ, PA for advice on how you can successfully reach your weight loss goals. Gastric bypass surgery — considered the gold standard of weight loss treatments — is a safe but effective form of surgery that often results in drastic weight loss. Moreover, you can expect healthier outcomes for any underlying conditions you may have, such as high blood pressure, reduced activity levels, low energy, sleep disorders, back pain and cardiovascular disease. Contact our experts weight loss doctors today to find out how you can take control of your eating and finally lose weight.

When you’re struggling with obesity and haven’t been able to lose weight through diet and exercise, it’s time to consider gastric bypass surgery. Gastric bypass is a common form of bariatric surgery that involves creating a small pouch from your stomach. Then your bariatric surgeon connects this pouch to part of your small intestine. After this procedure, the food you eat passes through the new pouch, bypassing part of your stomach and the first section of your intestines.

The gastric bypass procedure is also called Roux-en-Y because it was developed by Swiss surgeon César Roux, who described it with a stick-figure Y. Although normally an irreversible procedure, gastric bypass surgery can successfully help you lose weight. The Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass creates a smaller stomach. This gastric bypass weight loss occurs because the pouch restricts the amount of food you’re able to eat, so you get that full feeling sooner. The procedure also forces your digestive system to absorb fewer calories from the food.

Lead Scientist

I studied basic neuroscience at Leeds and UCL before undertaking a PhD at Imperial College.

During my doctoral studies, I developed an interest in studying the central regulation of energy and glucose homeostasis using in vivo imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET).

I subsequently held brief post-doctoral positions at the University of Oxford and MRC London Institute of Science before a lengthier stay at the BMBF- and DFG-funded obesity research centres in Leipzig University, Germany.

I am currently Lead Scientist at the Department of Experimental Surgery situated at the University of Wuerzburg where I am working on the mechanisms of weight loss after gastric bypass surgery using animal models.
