Weight Loss Surgery

The decision of having surgery is not to be taken lightly, and before your procedure you need as much information as possible. This section will provide you with that information, including specific medical details about how the LAP-BAND® System is performed surgically, and answers to the questions that patients, just like you, ask frequently.

Weight loss surgery is not the "easy way out." It requires your participation, motivation and hard work in order to produce results. The LAP-BAND® Adjustable Gastric Banding System is a tool that will help you lose weight, but it is up to you to use this tool properly by following all the dietary guidelines so that you can lose weight and stay healthy. It will be a challenge to make these changes in your daily habits.
