Lapband Adjustable Gastric Banding
offers Customized Weight-Loss
As the only weight-loss procedure that gives doctors the
option of adjusting the amount of restriction, Lap Band surgery
allows each patient to benefit from customized weight-loss
treatment. Surgeons adjust the Lap Band gradually restricting
the amount of food an individual can consume; the adjustable
Lap Band makes for a safer recovery and healthier long-term
weight-loss.
Post-Op Dietary Plan for Lap Band Patients
As with all surgical weight-loss programs, it is imperative
that LapBand patients adhere to a strict postoperative diet.
For the first 18 months after surgery, patients must restrict
themselves to consuming less than 800 calories per day; after
36 months, patients may consume no more than 1200 calories
each day. In addition, patients may not drink fluids with
meals.
Long-Term Weight-Loss Results with Lap Band
On average, patients who undergo Lap Band
surgery experience a 60% loss of excess weight. We consider
Lapland surgery to be a more moderate surgical weight-loss
option.
