The gastric banding procedure offered at the Pio Clinic is a minimally invasive surgical solution designed to help people lose weight. The procedure involves placing an adjustable silicone band around the upper part of the stomach, creating a smaller stomach pouch. By restricting food intake and slowing down digestion, the gastric band helps patients feel fuller with smaller portions, making it an effective long-term weight management tool.

At the Pio Clinic, we prioritise patient comfort and safety. Our experienced bariatric surgeons use laparoscopic techniques to perform the procedure, minimising recovery time and reducing the risk of complications. The gastric band is adjustable, allowing for personalised weight loss management. Adjustments can be easily made by injecting or removing saline through a small port under the skin, ensuring that the band meets your individual weight loss goals over time.

This procedure is particularly beneficial for people who prefer a reversible and adjustable weight loss option. Unlike more invasive bariatric surgery, the gastric band does not involve cutting, stapling or removing any part of the stomach. It’s an excellent choice for patients seeking a less permanent solution that still offers significant health benefits, including a reduced risk of obesity-related conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease.

Our comprehensive approach at the Pio Clinic includes pre-operative assessments, personalised weight loss plans and post-operative support. We understand that weight loss is not just about the surgery, but also about maintaining a healthier lifestyle. That’s why our team of nutritionists, psychologists and fitness experts work closely with patients to provide holistic care and ensure long-term success.

When you choose Pio Clinic, you’re not just choosing a medical procedure – you’re choosing a dedicated team to help you achieve your health and weight loss goals. The Gastric
