Advanced Gastric Banding Surgery by Dr. Prashanth Koyyoda
Looking for a safe, minimally invasive weight loss solution? Dr. Prashanth Koyyoda, an experienced Surgical Gastroenterologist, GI Surgeon, and Advanced Laparoscopic Surgeon in Hyderabad, offers Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding (LAGB) to help eligible patients achieve gradual, sustainable weight loss while improving obesity-related health conditions.
ABOUT THE PROCEDURE
What is Gastric Banding Surgery?
Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding (LAGB) is a minimally invasive bariatric (weight loss) procedure in which an adjustable silicone band is placed around the upper portion of the stomach to create a small gastric pouch. This limits the amount of food the stomach can hold and helps patients feel full after eating smaller meals. The tightness of the band can be adjusted through a small port placed beneath the skin, allowing treatment to be customized over time. Dr. Prashanth Koyyoda performs advanced laparoscopic gastric banding with a focus on patient safety, effective weight loss, and long-term follow-up.

HOW IS THE PROCEDURE PERFORMED?
How is Gastric Banding Surgery Performed?
Gastric banding is performed laparoscopically under general anesthesia by placing an adjustable band around the upper stomach to create a smaller food pouch.
Preoperative Assessment
Before surgery, Dr. Prashanth Koyyoda performs a comprehensive evaluation, including BMI assessment, blood investigations, nutritional assessment, cardiac evaluation, pulmonary assessment, psychological evaluation, and anesthetic fitness. Patients also receive dietary counseling and education regarding lifestyle changes required after surgery.
General Anesthesia
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia, ensuring complete comfort and safety throughout the surgery.
Surgical Procedure
Several small incisions are made in the abdomen to insert a laparoscope and specialized surgical instruments. An adjustable silicone gastric band is carefully placed around the upper portion of the stomach, creating a small pouch above the band. This restricts food intake and promotes early satiety. The band is connected to an access port placed beneath the skin, allowing future adjustments without additional surgery.
Band Adjustment
After surgery, the gastric band can be tightened or loosened by injecting or removing saline through the access port during follow-up visits. These adjustments help optimize weight loss while minimizing discomfort and maintaining proper nutrition.
Postoperative Care
Patients are encouraged to begin walking soon after surgery and gradually progress through a structured dietary plan from liquids to soft foods and eventually solid foods. Regular follow-up appointments are essential for band adjustments, nutritional monitoring, and long-term weight management.
RECOVERY
Recovery After Gastric Banding Surgery
Recovery involves a gradual diet progression, adequate hydration, gentle activity, prescribed medications, band adjustments, wound care, and regular follow-up appointments.

Hospital Stay
Most patients remain in the hospital for 1 to 2 days, depending on their recovery and overall health.
