Do your research ahead of time and know the difference between these two common weight loss surgical procedures in order to make a wise and effective decision regarding your medical care.
Lap Band Surgery
The lap banding procedure restricts how much food could be eaten over the course of a day, resulting in weight loss. The band can be adjusted according to patient’s desires, or removed if they have met their goal weight. The Lap Band creates a small pouch in the stomach with the use of a stoma, or band, which helps to limit food intake without the need for staples. The Lap band is placed around the upper portion of the stomach, creating a “new stomach” that reduces the amount of food that can be consumed. Once the band is in place, it is possible for the surgeon to adjust it at any time by inflation or deflation.
