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.
