Vertical banded gastroplasty surgery

It is known as “stomach clamp” by people due to the reason that it squeezes the stomach where esophagus and stomach meet.
This method also works by restricting food intake to the stomach. But because appetite does not decrease, people try to find a way to get food; They consume juicy but abundant calorie foods such as ice cream or honey. Despite the sensational news in the media, the rate of complications and mortality in experienced hands is lower than in other surgical treatments.
Although it may be advantageous to be removed at any time and not to make permanent changes in the body, long-term success rates are low.
