Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding is a purely restrictive procedure by which a small plastic ring is placed at the top of the stomach to limit the amount of food intake of the patient. This is a much safer procedure than the gastric bypass in that there are no connections or division of the bowel. LapBand patients are discharged home after an overnight hospital stay.
