Gastric Banding involves locating a band around the stomach. According to Dr Behnaz Yazdanfar, This surgery is customarily accomplished with a laproscope. Gastric banding can help the patient to achieve more durable weight reduction by limiting the portion of food that that can be: Injested at any one time, reducing the sensation of hunger, and retarding digestion.

The band subdivides the stomach into a small upper half above the gastric band and a zone below the band, Dr Yazdanfar. This smaller pocket reduces the portion of food that a patient can injest at any single meal, and will cause a sense of fullness after after consuming a small portion of food.
Controlling the degree of the aperture (stoma) between the two cavities of the stomach regulates the amount of food that progresses from the upper to the lower half of the stomach by Dr Behnaz Yazdanfar.
