Description
The adjustable gastric banding system, known as the LAP-BAND, is a procedure that helps you gradually lose and control your weight by limiting the amount of food that your stomach can hold during meals. Unlike other weight loss surgeries, such as the gastric bypass and sleeve, the procedure is fully reversible and adjustable. The LAP-BAND system is FDA approved and is the least “invasive” of all weight loss surgeries. The documented weight loss with the gastric band is from 40 % to 60% of excess body weight.
