Is Lap Band Surgery Right for Me?
Laparoscopic band surgery is one of the types of bariatric surgery for people who can’t lose weight by other means. Laparoscopic banding is the least invasive of weight loss surgeries. It does not involve cutting or rerouting the intestines or the stomach. This is accomplished through small incisions which are used to wrap a small silicone ring with an adjustable circular balloon lining around the upper portion of the stomach creating a small pouch and slowing the passage of food to the rest of the stomach. The inner balloon can be adjusted (tightened/loosened) by the care of our team. Learn more at lapband.com
Candidates must be 18 years of age or older with a body-mass index (BMI) of at least 35 or greater with one or more medical conditions such as
- Diabetes
- High Blood Pressure
- Sleep Apnea
- Heart Disease
We encourage you to be committed to making lifelong changes in your eating habits and lifestyle to achieve your weight loss goals. Patients can feel full on diet-sized portions of food. The purpose of the smaller stomach pouch is to create the sensation of fullness earlier, thereby decreasing the desire for food and limiting the volume of food one is capable of consuming at one time.
