Lap Band surgery has become one of the most popular methods for significant weight-loss, with thousands of success stories. The ideal candidates for lapband have a BMI of 35 or greater, and are suffering from weight-related illnesses, such as hypertension, diabetes, or sleep apnea.

Gastric lap band surgery is adjustable, reversible and performed on an outpatient basis, so the patient usually returns home the same day as the surgery. The device is inserted through one of five or six small abdominal incisions and is wrapped around the upper part of the stomach, creating a small upper stomach pouch. This slows the emptying of food from the upper to the lower part of the stomach, causing the patient to feel full sooner and stay full longer.
