Laparoscopic gastric band removal is a surgical procedure to remove the gastric band that can assist patients with weight loss. A gastric band is removed because the band did not work as well as expected, or because it slipped or eroded. During this procedure, the doctor removes a previously-placed gastric band, which created a small pouch in the stomach to limit food intake. The procedure is performed laparoscopically, which involves inserting small instruments through multiple small incisions in the upper abdomen to cut the scar tissue around the band, the tubing, and the band. The band is then removed from the stomach. This procedure restores the original anatomy of the stomach.
