Gastric band treatment for obesity. Coloured frontal X-ray of the digestive system of an obese 57-year-old woman who has been fitted with a gastric band. This reduces the capacity of the stomach for food. The gastric band will be tested using the contrast medium barium (a 'barium meal') that is opaque to X-rays. The test is known as an oeso-gastrointestinal duodenal transit (OGDT). | |
