How does a stomach band work in Istanbul, Turkey?

Your surgeon in Istanbul can adjust the tightness of the gastric band by adding or removing fluid through a connected tube. This controls how quickly food moves from the pouch to the rest of your stomach. These adjustments ensure that you lose weight at a healthy and steady pace.

In order that the gastric band can be effective, it is really important to adopt a healthy lifestyle after surgery. Don't worry, our care team will advise you and guide you to change some eating habits and become more active.

There can be problems with the band, such as stomach issues. You may need to take vitamins to avoid nutritional deficiencies.
