It is a quick and simple procedure to add or remove saline from your gastric band, to increase or reduce the level of control/restriction that you feel. This is done with a specialist needle via a port sutured to your stomach wall. (Positions of ports may vary)
Referrals are not required to book an appointment at Gastric Band Clinic. If you have any previous paperwork from your initial provider or any adjustment history or paperwork this is always great to bring along with you to your first appointment for reference.
A Specialist Medical Practitioner, like myself - who is fully trained in the procedure and has extensive experience adjusting gastric bands. Ports can easily be punctured without specific training or the use of the correct equipment. So please make sure your Clinician has sufficient training and the correct needles in place before any treatment is carried out
Absolutely, I offer aftercare, adjustments and support to anyone with a gastric band regardless of where you had the procedure.
Gastric band do not have an expiry date as such. So as long as the body is accepting the band and it is functioning fine it doesn't need changing or any additional surgical intervention - Look after it and hopefully it will look after you. I have patients who are still working with the same band 25+ years on!
If you notice that your portions are increasing over a side plate or you are getting hungry between meals could indicate that your band may benefit from additional fluid being added (Band-Fill) If you are having daily symptoms ie reflux, regurgitation, food sticking, pain on eating, night time issues or maladaptive diet, a defill will help. Alternatively if you hit a weight loss plateau this also could suggest a fill/defill maybe required to kick start the weight loss - contact your provider to discuss this further
Yes, patient assessment would determine the way forward on this one. This could involve a plan to help settle the symptoms naturally through resting the stomach and back to fluids or depending on the severity of the symptoms a defill would be suggested and arranged
