Are lap bands designed to be adjustable by the physician after they are inserted in the patient?
The band is "adjusted" by inserting a saline solution through a port just under the skin of the abdominal wall. A little topical anesthetic is applied, and the band itself is "reinflated" by injecting saline. The procedure is called an "adjustment" or a "fill." How full the band is determines the restriction of the stomach volume. Yes, in modern lap band surgery the lap band is designed to be adjustable after it is placed inside the patient. The purpose of the band is to prevent large quantities of food from passing through the stomach too quickly. The band constricts the stomach, creating a small pouch in the upper part of the stomach, and this area holds the food until is passes into the lower part of the stomach. By adjusting the band through a small incision portal left after surgery, the proper amount of food is allowed to pass. This adjustment insures the patient will have the best result from the banding procedure.
