What is Lap Band Surgery?

During the Lap-Band Procedure, a Gastric Band is placed around your stomach in the course of a minimally invasive, outpatient laparoscopic surgery. The band limits the amount of food you can eat to help you feel full sooner and longer. The Lap-Band is both removable and adjustable—when your needs change, it changes. Even if you are considering other bariatric surgeries, start your journey with Lap-Band.

  1. Adjustable, adaptable, and safe!
    A minimally invasive, reversible procedure places the band around your upper stomach to help limit your food intake and promote your feeling of fullness. When your needs change, the Lap-Band changes with you. Bariatric surgery alternatives are permanent, with a higher risk, and require cutting, rerouting, and stapling of the stomach.

  2. Eat the foods you love!
    Unlike other bariatric surgeries that permanently change your anatomy and-consequently-fundamentally change what you can eat, the Lap-Band does not impact food choices and does not require expensive supplements. Typically, only a daily mulit-vitamin is required. You can continue to eat healthy foods you love while maintaining portion control.

  3. Significant, Consistent Results.
    Lap-Band patients with a lower BMI lose an average of 65% of their excess weight in the first year and 70% in the second year. The Lap-Band system is the only FDA-approved laparoscopic weight-loss device approved for people with lover BMIs.

  4. Life changing transformations.
    On average, patients kept off 60% of their excess body weight after 5 years of having the Lap-band. Additional studies have shown similar results for up to 20 years.

  5. Renewed Health!
    Weight loss from the Lap-Band Program has been proven to resolve or improve serious obesity-related health conditions in many people, including Type II Diabetes, Hypertension, Asthma, Sleep Apnea, and GERD. Obesity is also highly correlated with cancer risk8, higher COVID-19 hospitalization rates, and worsened COVID-19 outcomes including higher rates of mortality. Losing weight now can help lower your risk and the possibility of an avoidable hospitalization. Long-term benefits include improvements in and even the reversal of chronic conditions.73% of all Lap-Band Patients reported remission of their Type II Diabetes due to their weight loss after two years on the program.
