The modern facilities at NMC Royal Hospital Sharjah are used to perform procedures such as Lap Gastric Banding. The hospital was founded in 1981 and has been given JCI. The hospital is located at Sharjah United Arab Emirates.

The procedure involves placing an adjustable gastric band around the upper part of the stomach using laparoscopic techniques. Limiting the amount of food the stomach can comfortably hold may support gradual weight loss. The band can be adjusted after surgery according to the patient's progress. Pre-operative assessment and nutritional counselling are important parts of treatment.
