About Lap-Band:
Backed by more than 25 years of clinical evidence and a network of skilled surgeons, the Lap-Band® Program is the only FDA-approved laparoscopic weight-loss surgery commercially available in the US. It has been performed more than 1 million times since 1993. (Source) On average, patients who have had the Lap-Band procedure lose between 4 and 9 pounds per month in the first year and go on to lose 70 percent of their excess weight within two years. (Source) The Lap-Band that is placed around the top of the stomach promotes a feeling of fullness in patients. This stomach band is typically adjusted at least five times during the first year for the best results. Lap-Band Patients should also incorporate physical activity and healthy eating habits to maintain long-term weight loss. Qualified professionals provide counseling and coaching to help in this regard. Relative to other weight loss surgeries, Lap-Band has the lowest post-operative failure and complication rates. The stomach band procedure leaves minimal scarring and is 10 times safer than gastric bypass surgery. (Source) In addition, because Lap-Band emphasizes gradual weight loss, patients are less likely to experience sagging underarms, loose skin, and hanging bellies.
