Bariatric surgery may be a client option and is a restrictive or malabsorptive surgery. The laparoscopic adjustable gastric band is a restrictive surgery. A band is placed laproscopically around the proximal stomach distal to the gastroesophagel junction. A tube is connected to the band and threaded through the abdomen to the abdominal wall, where it is connected to an access port. The access port is anchored to the fascia. Throughout the next year, the physician injects saline into the access port to restrict the stomach size so the client loses weight.
