The Lap-Band is a bariatric surgery option that helps with weight loss. A gastric band is placed on the upper part of the stomach to create a small pouch to hold food. The restriction reduces the amount of food that can be eaten in a single meal and produces a feeling of fullness that lasts between meals.
At Ideal Body Institute we don’t believe you should ever sacrifice your health.
As with any other weight loss procedure, behavior modification and dietary compliance are the key players in determining the long-term success of the procedure. Basically, it comes down to how committed the patient is to losing the extra weight.
Lap-Band has one of the lowest peri-operative risks amongst laparoscopic weight loss operations. However, some risks involved include bleeding (< 1%), band system leak (rare), cuff prolapsed, cuff erosion, esophageal dilation, and eventual explanation (> 25%).
