LAGB works by restricting the amount of food that can be eaten at a single meal, while also producing a feeling of fullness that persists between meals.  Food fills and distends the small upper gastric pouch, producing a sensation of being full.  By restricting the passage of food out of the pouch the LAGB prolongs the feeling of fullness.  This intra-meal satiety is the key to making the LAGB effective.
