Advantages
At CIBO Clinic, we've chosen to work with the adjustable gastric band because we believe it's simply the best product of its kind. It's safe, effective and minimally invasive.
Proven.
More than 350,000 adjustable gastric band procedures have been performed worldwide. A large number of clinical studies on safety and efficacy have also been conducted.
Adjustable.
The band is designed to be tightened or loosened as needed without further surgery, so you get the exact degree of restriction you need for sustained weight loss. If you get ill or become pregnant, it's easy to loosen the band until you're ready to start losing weight again.
Reversible.
The band can be removed any time if needed, and your stomach will return to its original form and function. However, the band is intended to be permanent.
Less invasive.
The adjustable gastric band is the least invasive surgical option for weight loss, and doesn't require cutting or stapling the stomach wall or bowel. Because the procedure is done laparoscopically, there's less pain, virtually no scarring and a shorter recovery time.
Safer.
The adjustable gastric band has a much lower risk of complication, nutritional deficiencies and mortality.
