Gastric Band Model. 2 part

This model shows the position of an implanted gastric band. The gastric band is placed around the stoma-
ch in such a way that it divides the stomach into a small pouch and a larger stomach section. The resulting
narrow passage (stoma) slows down the passage of food and the stomach wall becomes tight more quickly,
leading to a feeling of fullness. The width of the passageway can be varied by adjusting the amount of
liquid in the inflatable balloon.
