Free information about the Lap Band, how it works, what to expect, pros and cons, etc. to help you on

your weight loss journey......The Lap Band is the number one weight loss choice in America today. Why? Because with this tool you will succeed!

The system is a minimally invasive surgery that involves applying the prosthesis around the stomach—creating a small gastric pouch—and a calibrated opening to the rest of the stomach.

Less invasive for the abdominal wall (requires small incisions of 5 to 10 millimeters) and for the stomach (no cutting or stapling of the organ is needed)

Shorter hospitalization than gastric bypass

No by-passing portions of the stomach or intestines

Individualized to the patient's needs via inflation or deflation of the band

Fully reversible by simply removing the band

How It Works: By creating a smaller gastric pouch, limiting 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.
