Lap-Bands have been used since 1993 throughout Europe, Canada, Australia
and Mexico. Hundreds of thousands of people have Lap-Bands in place.
They were approved in the US as a minimally invasive surgical intervention
in 2003. Lap-Bands have been recognized by major US insurers as a safe,
cost effective treatment for obesity.
"Success one fill at a time"
SUCCESS WITH A LAP-BAND IS DEPENDENT
ON QUALITY AFTER CARE
The band must be kept adjusted to the tightness that regulates the flow
of food from the upper pouch to the lower segment of the stomach.
As patients lose weight, the stomach tissue shrinks and allows food to
pass through faster and in larger amounts, thus regular adjustments
are required to keep losing weight. Proper adjustments on schedule
will keep you "in the zone" for weight loss and good health.
