Lose over Half of Your Excess Weight with LAP-BAND Surgery
The procedure
The LAP-BAND® system is designed to significantly reduce your stomach’s capacity to hold food. You will feel fuller faster and longer; by restricting the quantity of food you are able to eat, you will end up losing a significant amount of weight. The laparoscopic LAP-BAND® system is an inflatable silicone ring that is placed around the top portion of the stomach, reducing the stomach’s capacity.
The incisions
The LAP-BAND® system can be adjusted over time to more precisely fulfill and promote longer-lasting, optimal results. This form of bariatric surgery is not appropriate for everyone; most patients are better off considering the gastric sleeve surgery. Ask us which surgery is right for you.
This reversible procedure requires only 4 or 5 tiny incisions to be made on the abdomen and requires only 1 night in the hospital.
