Gastric banding is the least invasive procedures. It consists of formation of a small gastric pouch created by insertion of a silicon band high on the stomach. The stomach is not cut or crushed. A system connected to a subcutaneous port, which is used for the percutaneous introduction or removal of fluid to adjust the caliber of the band without surgery. Since its clinical initiation, hundred of thousands of morbidly obese patients in the world were treated by laparoscopic gastric banding. Gastric banding is probably the most commonly performed bariatric operation in con¬tinental Europe and in Australia.

Adjusting is done at the doctor office or using special X-ray, by injecting a fluid into the band through the port.
- Reversibility: by band removal stomach returns to normal.
- Laparoscopic placement. Stomach is not cut, stapled and reshaped.
