Lap Band
WHAT IS A LAP BAND?
The LAP-BAND procedure involves placing an adjustable silicone band around the top part of the stomach. The LAP-BAND limits the amount of food eaten at one time allowing patients to feel full and stay full. In short, it is a restrictive procedure.
The LAP-BAND surgery does not require large incisions or changes to the digestive system making it your most minimally invasive choice for bariatric surgery. Your recovery time will be less and your hospital stay shorter.
The LAP-BAND procedure is a minimally invasive technique with a low-risk profile and helps patients lose weight gradually. Long-term weight loss with the LAP-BAND appears to be more dependent on good education and follow-up. Call or email today to see if LAP-BAND surgery is right for you.
