The modern facilities at The Alexandra Hospital are used to perform procedures such as Lap Gastric Banding. The hospital was founded in 1981 and has been given NABH. The hospital is located at Cheadle United Kingdom.

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.
