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.
