The Lap-Band System is one of the least invasive surgeries for weight loss currently available. The Lap Band is an adjustable ring, usually silicone, that is placed around the upper part of the stomach creating a small pouch that only holds a small amount of food. The Lap-Band is an adjustable band that decreases the opening of the top of the stomach.

Just like an hourglass is narrow in the middl, and wider at the ends, slowing the sand going through it, the gastric band gets very narrow at the top slowing down the food going through it, thus providing the sensation of being full much faster than before. When an individual feels full, they are less inclined to eat and are able to go through a day active and alert with the craving for food.

The Lap-Band Surgery is one of the most popular procedures for losing weight quickly and safely. Our Orange County practice possesses several advantages over other bariatric techniques and surgeons in Southern California. The Lap-Band procedure is less invasive than gastric bypass surgery and gastric sleeve resection because it does not involve cutting, stapling, or other permanent alterations to the stomach and intestines.
Lap-Band Surgery is recommended for individuals who are 90lbs or more overweight or people who are obese. Candidates will likely have medical complications that will be helped, and in many instances, cured by substantial weight loss. While weight loss surgery is not for everyone, there are a large number of patients for whom losing a lot of weight is imperative, including those suffering from diabetes, high blood pressure, heart trouble, shortness of breath, arthritis and orthopedic (bone) problems with their legs, hips or back.
Recovery time and visible scarring are also reduced because the procedure is performed laparoscopically. Treatment is also completely reversible and easily tailored to the specific needs and preferences of each patient, unlike gastric bypass surgery. The adjustable gastric band can be loosened or tightened to promote the most successful weight loss results.
