At this time, they say the band doesn't ever necessarily have to come out, unless you have some associated problem or it is ineffective.

Yes, it is true that the stomach is where food goes to be broken down and digested. It is not exactly a graveyard, but rather a digestive organ where enzymes and acids work to break down food into nutrients that can be absorbed by the body.
This is not true. Almost all absorption occurs in the small intestine. The stomach simply uses its enzymes to break down food into smaller and smaller molecules. The most mechanical digestion occurs in the stomach due to the constant churning motion.
True. Smooth muscles in the stomach play a crucial role in mechanical digestion by contracting rhythmically to churn and mix the food with gastric juices. This process helps break down food into smaller particles and facilitates the enzymatic digestion that follows.
