The invention relates to a non-inflatable gastric band (1) including two end areas (2, 3) and an intermediate portion (4). The inner surface (I) of the band (1) is intended to contact the stomach. The end areas (2, 3) are provided with complementary closing means (5, 6) selected from notches (5) and locking loops (6) that are mutually engageable so as to ensure that the band (1) is locked in a closed position. The end area (2) has at least one notch (5) and is intended to be inserted through at least one locking loop (6) placed on the outer surface of the end area (3) up to a locked closed position, wherein at least one notch (5) is moved beyond a locking loop (6).
