Lap band surgery is another well-known surgical weight loss option which our team has extensive experience with. With this procedure, a small silicone ring is placed around the upper part of the stomach, which results in partial restriction to the passage of food. This serves a few purposes: the patient feels full faster, and will typically consume smaller portions at each meal, which in turn reduces caloric intake.
Lap Band Surgery. There are specific differences for each procedure, and we find that our patients achieve the best results when they’ve had a chance to consider all available weight loss surgery options. For this reason, we recommend that you schedule an in-person consultation in our medical office. We’ll take the time to walk you through all the various options available (and the requirements particular to each), which will allow you to make an informed decision.
