Gastric band adjustment is a minimally invasive procedure where the size of the gastric band, placed around the top of the stomach to aid weight loss, is adjusted. The procedure involves injecting saline solution into or removing it from the band using a port located under the skin. Adjustments help optimize weight loss by altering the narrowed part of the stomach pouch created by the band, thereby controlling the amount and rate of food intake.
