Interested in weight loss surgery, but not sure which one is best for you? Consider the lap band as your method of weight loss success. Our lap band surgeons have years of experience along with double board certification. They can help you with insurance issues, and most importantly, provide the skilled care that you need for this type of surgery.

The lap band surgeons in our practice will be able to use minimally invasive techniques to perform your procedure. A great plus to having lap band performed in a minimally invasive way is it lowers the risk of complications. Open surgical techniques require incisions large enough for doctors to see the area of operation or to fit their hands into. The lap band procedure is performed using a laparoscope; a tiny surgical tool with a mini camera affixed to it. This allows the lap band surgeon to make very tiny incisions and disturb the least amount of tissue possible. This lessens the risk of excessive bleeding and leads to a shorter recovery time in comparison to traditional surgery. Lap band patients typically return to work a week after their procedure, but it can be even less than that.

Your lap band surgeon will place the silicone band around your stomach and tighten it by filling with saline. If further adjustments are needed after surgery, an injection of saline into the access port under your skin can fill the Lap-Band.
