Laparoscopic gastric banding is a surgery in which small incisions are made in the stomach and small probes are inserted into the stomach to insert a band around the stomach. The band is then tightened to reduce the total volume of the stomach. As a result, less food is required to make the body think it has eaten enough and sends a "full" signal to the brain earlier. The band is often reversible and adjustable, unlike other surgeries that are more permanent in nature. This surgery is typically reserved for morbidly obese people.
