Obesity is an epidemic that affects more than one-third of American men and women, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. When diet and exercise are unable to help those who are struggling with obesity to regain control of their health, bariatric surgical options such as adjustable gastric banding can be an effective way to lose weight.

In this video, you can learn more about the gastric banding procedure and how it can be performed using a minimally invasive surgical approach. The procedure works to promote weight loss by creating a smaller stomach pouch, which in turn stifles the patient’s appetite. Watch the video to see more.
