Lap band surgery is the process which is done under full general anesthesia and takes about 1 to 2 hours to perform. The gastric band is put around the upper part of the stomach and set into position with stitches. The surgeon or doctor inserts a tiny camera attached with a tube into one of these cuts and views the procedure on a screen. That involves making 3 to 5 small cuts of each about 1 inch in length. The other incisions permit the use of surgical tools and insert of the band.
