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.
