The Lap Band


The LapBand101 Sucess Guide is what you need!

Adjustable gastric banding is the only adjustable and reversible weight-loss surgery available in the United States today and is performed by making several tiny incisions in the upper abdomen. Small instruments – including a laparoscopic camera – are inserted through these tiny incisions into the abdomen. A silastic band is securely placed around the upper portion of the stomach, creating a small pouch and a narrow passage into the larger stomach. Once the band is in place and secure, the surgical instruments are removed and all incisions are closed.

Your stomach will be restricted by the band allowing for a 2 to 4 ounce pouch to receive your food. The rest of your stomach is still there, it has not been removed, but the band will slow you down immediately.
