Minimally Invasive:

The lap band is a minimally invasive surgical procedure. It does not involve stapling, cutting and rerouting of the intestines. This laparoscopic procedure only involves the placing of a plastic prosthetic around the upper part of the stomach. Once the band is in place, adjustments are done on an outpatient basis without surgical intervention.

No irreversible damage
If for any reason the Gastric Band must be removed, it can be removed without any problems. Once the band is removed the stomach will more than likely return to its original shape. The stomach will perform normally without restrictions.

Fast:

The procedure takes from 30 to 45 minutes and usually you will be out of the hospital by the next day.

Adjustable and Precise:

This is the only obesity surgical procedure that can be adjusted at any time to maintain and control your ideal weight.

Note: In case of pregnancy the band would be deflated to allow adequate nutrition for you and your child during your pregnancy.
