Stomach Stapling, also known as Vertical Banded Gastroplasty (VBG), is a type of weight loss surgery that restricts the amount of food the stomach can hold. This procedure involves using surgical staples to create a smaller pouch at the top of the stomach, limiting the amount of food that can be consumed in one meal.
The operation for Stomach Stapling typically involves general anesthesia and lasts for one to two hours. During the procedure, the surgeon will make a small incision in the abdomen and use surgical staples to divide the upper part of the stomach into a small pouch. This pouch will be approximately the size of a golf ball and will be separated from the rest of the stomach by a band. The band helps prevent the food from mixing with digestive juices in the lower part of the stomach, leading to slower digestion and a feeling of fullness.
Stomach Stapling is considered a more invasive procedure compared to other types of weight loss surgeries, such as Laparoscopic Gastric Banding (LGB) or Gastric Sleeve. It is important for patients to carefully consider all their options and discuss their goals and health concerns with their doctor before undergoing Stomach Stapling or any other bariatric procedure. After the surgery, patients will need to follow a strict diet and exercise plan to maintain their weight loss and avoid complications.
