Gastric band surgery is a type of weight loss procedure that can help people struggling with obesity to lose weight by eating less.
It involves placing an adjustable silicone band around the upper part of your stomach, creating a small pouch that fills quickly as you eat, helping you feel full sooner. The procedure is performed via minimally invasive ‘keyhole’ surgery, is reversible, and doesn’t involve removing or permanently changing your stomach.
We offer private gastric band surgery at Ramsay Health Care, supported by comprehensive aftercare to help you achieve the best possible weight loss outcome. If you’re considering gastric band surgery, we’ll explain what it involves, its benefits, and what to expect from a private gastric band operation with Ramsay.

Gastric sleeve surgery is a restrictive procedure only. Two thirds of the stomach is resected and removed, leaving a smaller stomach in the shape of a sleeve. The portion of the stomach removed produces a hormone that stimulates appetite and hunger. Removing this portion of stomach results in a significant reduction in appetite.
