Is this you? Do you weigh this or more? You may qualify to have the LAP BAND and the Sleeve, the safest, most modern weight loss operations. The LAP-BAND and Sleeve are so safe we now are offering this to people who are overweight by as little as 50 pounds. Weight loss surgery is not a diet, or a gimmick. 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.

We believe that lifestyle changes are the most important component of weight loss, that they are the key to not only early but long-term sustained weight loss. We believe weight loss surgery is just a tool for patients to help them with their lifestyle choices.

No one in Phoenix or the State of Arizona does more LAP-BAND or Gastric Sleeves 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!
