Gastric band surgery in NJ at Nusbaum Medical Centers is a minimally invasive, adjustable and reversible option for lasting weight loss.
At Nusbaum Medical Centers in Cedar Knolls, New Jersey, gastric band surgery is performed by Dr. Michael Nusbaum, a board-certified surgeon, FACS FASMBS, who has led medical and aesthetic care in New Jersey for more than 25 years. Among bariatric options it stands out for being adjustable and fully reversible, with no cutting or stapling of the stomach.
How Gastric Band Surgery Works
An adjustable silicone band is placed around the upper stomach to create a small pouch, so you feel full on less food. Because the band connects to a port under the skin, it can be tightened or loosened over time to fine-tune your results. The procedure is laparoscopic, with small incisions and a short recovery.
Benefits of the Gastric Band
- Adjustable to your needs over time
- Fully reversible — no stomach is removed or rerouted
- Minimally invasive with quick recovery
- Steady, sustainable weight loss with support
- Lowest-risk profile of the surgical options for many patients
Band vs. Sleeve vs. Bypass
The band is the most conservative surgical option. The gastric sleeve and gastric bypass typically produce greater weight loss but aren't reversible. Dr. Nusbaum will help you choose — see all surgical weight loss options in NJ.
