Lap-Band® Program

The Lap-Band® Program helps patients take control over their weight, because only the Lap-Band can be tightened or loosened as their body or physical needs change, helping provide sustainable weight loss over the long term. The Lap-Band is the only FDA approved laparoscopic weight loss procedure commercially available in the U.S. and covered by most insurance companies. The Lap-Band gives patients control over their body too, because it's the least invasive and safest weight loss surgery available, with the lowest complication and mortality rate. Unlike other, more drastic weight loss surgeries, the Lap-Band Procedure does not cut out the majority of the stomach or reroute the intestines and has the lowest risk for vitamin or mineral deficiency. The Lap-Band feautres an adjustable Gastric band that is placed around the upper stomach to help limit patient food intake and promote their feeling of fullness. With regular adjustments that help your patients continue to lose weight, the Lap-Band is a long term tool that gives them more power over their hunger, and more control over their weight loss than ever before. The Lap-Band Program includes customized counseling, coaching, and nutritional education, to help support the lifestyle changes your partients need to keep the weight off over time. Endorsed by leading surgeons, the procedure has been performed over 1,000,000 times since 1993 worldwide, it is covered by most insurance companies and backed by over 25 years of clinical evidence.
