Why Weight Loss Surgery?
The band is a more effective solution than diet and exercise. This was first pointed out by Dr. Paul O’Brian’s group out of Australia where they compared the band against a very low calorie diet for people who had 50 pounds of weight to lose. The band was clearly the winner. Since then more groups have shown that the band is effective for weight loss in patients who were merely overweight.
There is no effective diet solution, diets fail. The band provides an internal bio-feedback allowing you to feel full with less. Small meals will satisfy and keep you satisfied for hours with a properly adjusted band.
The LAP-BAND is safer than any other weight loss operation. The LAP-BAND can adjust to your needs. The LAP-BAND has the least interruptions in your life. With the LAP-BAND it isn’t another diet, it is a tool to transform.

Identical weight loss to the RNY after three years. RNY bypass patients have a “golden window” of weight loss lasting 18 months. After this period of time up to 25% regain weight back to their original weight. LAP-BAND patients continue to lose weight even after three years.
