LapBand Adjustment to Improve Early Weight Loss

Completed · Phase 2/Phase 3

Conditions studied: Obesity

In brief

Subjects having a gastric band fitted will have the first band adjustment done at surgery. The stoma will be set to 7mm using the EndoFLIP system to measure stoma size. Thereafter, band adjustments will be made using an adjustment chart, created at surgery, which shows stoma size versus band fill, to make adjustments in the normal follow-up visits. It is hypothesized that an early adjustment at surgery will promote earlier weight loss, and result in fewer band adjustments being required in the first year after surgery.
