Is this you? Do you weigh this or more? You may qualify to have the LAP BAND, the safest, most modern weight loss surgery. The LAP-BAND is so safe we now are offering this to people who are overweight by as little as 50 pounds. The LAP-BAND is not a diet. The LAP-BAND is not a gimmick. The LAP-BAND is a device that allows you to lose weight by allowing you to feel satisfied with less food. The LAP-BAND works. Dr. O’Brian’s latest study in the Annals of Internal Medicine showed the LAP-BAND was as safe as the diets that the patient’s were on. While diet and exercise are always the first choice, the choice for permanent and lasting weight loss for people who are severely overweight is clear—The LAP-BAND. Further—instead of having to be 100 pounds overweight, this study showed it worked for those who need to lose as few as 50 pounds. Curious if the LAP-BAND will work for you? Come to a seminar and find out. Weight loss is a journey, not just an operation. No one in Phoenix or the State of Arizona does more LAP-BAND surgery than we do, and the reason is simple: we provide the most comprehensive after-care program in the state. We know that the operation is just the start of your journey—and we are here to help you get to your goal. In fact, we have written books about how to get there!
