Gastric Band Weight Loss Surgery
The adjustable gastric band was approved for use in the United States in June 2001. The weight loss from adjustable gastric band has been very impressive so far. The adjustable gastric band is at the leading edge of obesity surgery technology.
Until June 2001, the Lap Band had been considered to be an investigational device. A multicenter study had been underway to determine the safety and effectiveness of the weight loss device. While the final data has not yet been compiled, the preliminary information suggests that Americans can lose up to about 40% of their excess body weight with the adjustable gastric band. This compares to 50-80% of excess weight loss with gastic bypass
The adjustable gastric band is placed laparoscopically (key hole surgery) around the upper stomach. It squeezes the stomach, creating a small pouch. If you do not lose the desired weight, your physician can tighten the band for increased weight loss.
Patients who have adjustable gastric band surgery maintain a weight loss of up to 72% of their excess weight after 7 years. If your medical insurance will not fund an obesity operation, the adjustable gastric band may be an excellent option for you. It offers a very good chance of significant long-term weight loss in selected patients and the price is about half the cost of other obesity operations.
Lap Band System - Our gastric banding procedure allows your body to lose weight at a moderate and healthy pace. No trauma. No dramatic changes that can cause long-term problems for your body.
