More information on Lap-Band

The Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding procedure is a purely restrictive surgical procedure in which a band is placed around the uppermost part of the stomach. This band divides the stomach into two portions: one small and one larger portion. Since the stomach is divided into smaller parts, most patients feel full faster.

As the name indicates, the band is adjustable. So if the rate of weight loss is not acceptable, the band can be adjusted. Food digestion happens through normal digestion. (Cost of procedure - $7895) or just $89.00 per month

The Lap-Band procedure comes with free unlimited fills for life just by traveling back to the beautiful Dominican Republic. However, for additional convenience you can go to any of the nationwide fill centers located across the USA that are no more than 1 - 2 hours from your home.
