Lap-Band Surgery
The Surgical Weight Loss Centre performs the preferred choice for the surgical treatment of morbid obesity: Laparaoscoptic Adjustable Gastric Band surgery (Lap-Band).
The Lap-Band is a silastic ring designed to fit around the upper part of the stomach. By creating a smaller stomach pouch, which holds less food, patients feel full sooner and longer. Weight loss will usually average 1-2 lbs. per week.
The Lap-Band is the only adjustable and reversible bariatric surgery that does not require cutting and stapling of the stomach, or gastrointestinal re-routing.
Designed to help patients lose excess body fat, the Lap-Band procedure improves weight-related health issues such as diabetes, sleep apnea, heart disease and high blood pressure.
Studies have shown that most obese people will not achieve success with diet, fitness training or medication regimens alone. Over 90% of the people that participate in diets and non-surgical weight loss programs do not lose significant weight. The Lap-Band is the best option for those who want to achieve substantial weight loss that is sustained.
