At Oxbariatric we have decided to stop placing gastric bands in 2012 due to the high complication rate and unpredictable weight loss.

In UK approximately 50% of the gastric band placed are removed within 5 years of the placement due to band slippage, poor weight loss and band intolerance.

Bruno Sgromo performs routinely revision bariatric surgery for patients who are in trouble with their gastric band.

We also provide maintenance for the gastric band (band fills and de-fills) and dietetic advices.
