What is involved when having a gastric band, how long does it take, and how much does it cost?
Q. What is involved when having a gastric band, how long does it take, and how much does it cost?
A. Thank you for your enquiry. Gastric banding is part of the group of bariatric surgery, which is carried out by general surgeons that specialise in this field. Plastic surgeons typically deal with reconstruction after massive weight loss. You will need to contact either your GP to guide you to a bariatric surgery service, or to identify on the Internet such a service that could assist.
