The Lap-Band system
is the least invasive,
safest and the only
adjustable and reversible
surgical weight-loss
option available
in the United States.
It helps achieve
sustained weight
loss by placing an
adjustable band around
the upper part of
the stomach to reduce
its capacity.
How It Works
By creating a
smaller gastric
pouch, the Lap-Band
System limits the
amount of food
that the stomach
will hold at any
time. The inflatable
ring controls the
flow of food from
this smaller pouch
to the rest of
the digestive tract.
The patient will
feel comfortably
full with a small
amount of food.
And because of
the slow emptying,
the patient will
continue to feel
full for several
hours reducing
the urge to eat
between meals.
The
demand for Adjustable
Lap-Band
Surgery has been
growing steadily
since it’s
approval by the
FDA in June 2001,
it has been proven
to be safer and
as effective as
other more Invasive
Bariatric Procedures,
with over 150,000
Lap Band surgeries
performed worldwide,
it's a proven safe
viable alternative
offering excellent
weight loss results.
