Lap Band Surgery
The New Lap-Band® surgery is a weight-loss surgery option that restricts the amount of food you can eat using an adjustable band.
BOOK A CONSULTATIONWhat is Lap-Band Surgery?
Lap-Band Surgery is a minimally invasive, FDA-approved procedure designed to assist with weight loss. During the procedure, an adjustable band is placed around the upper part of your stomach, creating a small pouch that limits food intake, reduces hunger, and slows digestion. This helps promote gradual, sustainable weight loss.
The Lap-Band can be adjusted over time to align with your weight-loss goals. The surgery is performed on an outpatient basis, allowing most patients to return home the same day.
Why Choose Lap-Band Surgery?
- Minimally Invasive & Quick Recovery: The procedure involves small incisions, leading to faster recovery compared to traditional surgeries. Most patients return to normal activities sooner.
- Adjustable & Reversible: The band can be easily adjusted in-office to match your weight-loss goals, and it can be removed if necessary.
- Preserves Stomach Integrity: Unlike other weight-loss surgeries, the Lap-Band doesn't involve cutting or removing stomach tissue, preserving the integrity of your digestive system.
- Steady Weight Loss: On average, patients lose 1-2 pounds per week. Many lose 40-70% of their excess weight within two years.
- Improves Health Conditions: Successful weight loss can resolve obesity-related issues like diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, and joint pain.
- No Nutrient Absorption Issues: Unlike other surgeries, the Lap-Band doesn't interfere with how your body absorbs nutrients, reducing the risk of nutritional deficiencies.
- Flexible Diet: Compared to other procedures, the Lap-Band allows for fewer dietary restrictions, making it easier to adjust to post-surgery life.
