IRCCS Ospedale San Raffaele provides Laparoscopic Gastric Banding using contemporary minimally invasive techniques and evidence-based bariatric care. Founded in 1971, the SSN accredited hospital is based in milan, Italy, with 1350 beds and services for domestic and international patients.

Laparoscopic gastric banding creates a smaller upper stomach pouch, helping patients control portion sizes and feel satisfied with less food. Unlike procedures that remove part of the stomach, the adjustable band can be modified or removed when clinically appropriate. Before treatment, specialists assess the patient's overall health, weight-management history, nutritional needs, and treatment goals.
