But the food starts to leaking into under part and then it digests normally. One noticeable point is that the hole is created by a gastric band is able to tight more or less over time. This action is performed by inflating and deflating of the balloon is existing in the gastric band. Inflating is performed with adding saline. This adjustment is done in-office easily. Also, it can be removed. This ability may cause coming back to the extra weight that had been removed.
