🛑Adjustable Gastric Band (AGB) 📍The Adjustable Gastric Band is a device made of silicone that is placed around the top part of the stomach to limit the amount of food a person can eat. 📍The impact on obesity related diseases and long-term weight loss is less than with other procedures. 📍This device is placed and secured around the top part of the stomach creating a small pouch above the band. 📍The feeling of fullness depends upon the size of the opening between the pouch and the rest of the stomach. 📍The opening size can be adjusted with fluid injections through a port underneath the skin 📍Food goes through the stomach normally but is limited by the smaller opening of the band. 📍It is less successful against type 2 diabetes and has modest effects on the metabolism.

@cctv_videos I feel like it's cheaper and less involved to just move more and eat less
