Gastric Banding in Islamabad, Rawalpindi & Pakistan Cost & Price

Control Your Portions. Support Your Weight Loss. Rebuild Your Health.

In several cases, the process of dieting may be irritating and strict  to many people struggling with obesity. Hormonal imbalance, emotional eating, slow metabolism and insulin resistance usually contribute to weight gain, rather than overeating does.

Gastric Banding in Islamabad Pakistan is a safe and adjustable surgical procedure that can help you to restrain your food consumption without making any permanent changes on your digestive system. It is aimed at patients who want less invasive bariatric implementation that is flexible and long-term controlled.

In Glamorous Aesthetic Clinic Islamabad, we are offering the high level laparoscopic gastric banding surgery with well-designed follow up services to maintain the safety and sustainability of weight loss.

What Is Gastric Banding Surgery?

Adjustable Gastric Band Surgery, also known as gastric banding, is a restrictive bariatric surgery.

This surgery does not involve the removal or diversion of any part of the stomach or intestines, as does gastric bypass. Rather, there is the application of a soft silicone band around the upper section of the stomach, which creates a small pouch.

This smaller pouch:

  •  Fills quickly
  •  Promotes early satiety
  •  Reduces portion size
  •  Promotes weight loss step-by-step.

It is possible to tighten or make the band loose with time so as to maximize results.

How Gastric Banding Works

The process operates by restriction alone, i.e. the extent to which food can be consumed at a given time.

After surgery:

  •  A small volume of food is contained in the upper stomach pouch.
  •  Food moves gradually to the remaining part of the stomach.
  •  You feel full faster.
  •  Hunger reduces with portion control.
  •  Naturally, consumption of calories decreases.

Due to the fact that the digestive tract is intact, the absorption of nutrients remains normal.

Who Is a Suitable Candidate?

You can become eligible to Gastric Banding in Islamabad when:

  •  Your BMI is 35 or above
  •  Increased BMI 30+ and associated obesity issues.
  •  You have had a problem with long term weight control.
  •  You would like to have a reversible process.
  •  You are devoted to food discipline.
  •  You will be prepared to make regular follow-ups.

Approval would be dependent on a thorough medical examination.

Premedical Examination and Preparation:

In the Glamorous Aesthetic Clinic, the safety is taken seriously. Prior to surgery, patients are subjected to:

  •  Full review of medical history.
  •  Blood tests
  •  Nutritional assessment
  •  Mean body mass index and metabolism.
  •  Psychological screening
  •  Preoperative dietary education.

It  enhances safety and success of surgery in the long run.
