The Lap Band or "Adjustable Gastric Banding System" is the newest and the only Adjustable and Reversible surgical treatment for morbid obesity in the United States, It induces weight loss by reducing the capacity of the stomach, which restricts the amount of food that can be consumed.
This minimally invasive surgical procedure eliminates the need for drastic stomach stapling and by-pass, for normal digestion.
The newest and least invasive surgical technique is the Lap Band system.
The band is placed laparoscopically (or using "keyhole" surgery) around the upper part of the stomach thus dividing the stomach in two parts, this creates a new small stomach pouch and leaves the larger part of the stomach below the band so the food storage area in the stomach is reduced, and the pouch above the band can hold only a small amount of food.
The band also controls the stoma (stomach outlet) between the two parts of the stomach, the size of the stoma regulates the flow of the food from the upper to the lower part of the stomach. When the stoma is smaller, you feel full sooner and have a feeling of satiety so you are not hungry.
The Lap Band system is a silicone elastomer ring designed to be placed around the upper part of the stomach and filled with saline on the inner surface.
The LAP-BAND System is an adjustable gastric band designed to help you lose excess body weight, and improve weight-related health conditions all of which can help you to enhance your quality of life. The procedure to place the Lap-Band involves minor surgery bylaparoscopically fastening the device around the upper section of the stomach to create a small stomach pouch. The Lap-Band itself is a silicone ring containing an inner band that can be filled with saline to controls the €œstoma€� (stomach outlet) between the new small stomach pouch and the lower part of the stomach. As the band is filled, the stoma is made smaller creating the sensation of being full, or satiated.
Tubing connects the silicone ring to an access port placed beneath the skin of your abdomen. This port allows the doctor to change this size of the stoma by adding or removing saline from the band around the stomach. Making these adjustments to the Lap Band affects the amount of food a patient can consume.
Following your initial placement of the Lap Band during surgery, the band will be empty. In the following weeks and months the Lap band is adjusted achieve a weight loss rate of about one to three pounds per week. These adjustments to the Lap Band can
be done on a purely outpatient basis.
Lap-Band advantages
One of the primary factors that attracts most people to a Lap Band procedure is that the band is removable, adjustable, and also does not change or divide the anatomy. The Lap-Band itself is is laparoscopically placed and because it e is laparoscopically completed, the stress on vital organs is lessened. This has an effect of causing the risks encountered during a Lap Band surgery to be greatly reduced which results in a faster recovery and less down time for the patient.
Also because no parts of the stomach are cut or repositioned, a patients risk of obstructions or any leakage from the Lap Band are very low. Your Lap-Band is also removable and while it would likely only be removed if medically necessary, it is referred to as a removable device as well as a reversible procedure because with a Lap-Band surgery there is little to no actual effect on the stomach if removed. Even on very rare occurrences when the band has eroded, slipped or caused an infection, removal of the Lap Band will result in no residual problems. The reason for this is that the Lap Band is created from a silastic substance that has virtually no tissue reaction. If the device is removed and not replaced by another weight loss solution, the patient risks significant weight regain.
The most exciting key to the success of the Lap-Band is its total adjustability. This allows for long term success when the Lap Band is adjusted by a physician to meet a patients weight loss and managment needs.
Now learn why thousands have turned to having Lapband Surgery in Mexico for their procedure and

.
The Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy is a new type of bariatric procedure that helps you lose weight by lowering the amount of food that you can eat, without any bypass of the intestines or malabsoroption. That means with a vertical sleeve gastrectomy there is no cutting or removal of any parts of your intestine!
Here's how the simple Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy procedure works
This procedure generates weight loss slowly through gastric restriction (reduced stomach volume). The stomach is restricted by dividing it vertically and removing part of it. This part of the procedure is not reversible however The Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy has been proven to be quite safe and extremely effective.
Those looking to get to their weight loss goal have found it to be much easier an less expensive because of the reduced risk and occurance of malabsorptive syndromes and the malnutrition problems that are developed in other bariatric surgeries such as Gastric Bypass and the Duodenal Switch. The Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy is a good alternative for Lap Band Surgery in patients that are concerned about having a foreign body (The Lapband itself) in their body for an extended period of time.
Advantages of Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy

IThe Biliopancreatic Diversion (BPD) procedure which later evolved to include the duodenal switch (BPD-DS) as pictured to the right. The procedure promotes weight loss through a method called malabsorption, a process through nutrient absorption is impaired. The actual surgery involves removal of all but about 1/3 of the stomach and repositioning of the small intestine to create a shorter section where food is digested. Although the BPD and BPD-DS do offer enticing weight loss results for the morbidly obese, the rate of malnutrition associated with the procedures is high.

The Gastric Sleeve surgical option that induces weight loss by restricting food intake. With this procedure, approximately 70 to 80 percent of the stomach is removed laparoscopically so that the stomach takes the shape of a tube or "sleeve" which is roughly the size and shape of a banana. The stomach that is removed is one of the key areas that produces grehlin, a hormone which stimulates hunger and appetite.
Since the operation does not involve any "rerouting" or reconnecting of the intestines, it is a simpler operation than the gastric bypass or the duodenal switch. In addition, unlike the Lap-Band® procedure, the sleeve gastrectomy does not require the implantation of a device inside the abdomen.
Question: What kind of results can I expect from the Gastric Sleeve?
Answer: Studies have found with this operation that average weight loss is between 33 to 83 percent of excess body weight. This weight loss usually happens between one and two years post-operatively with most occurring within the first year.
Benefits of the Gastric Sleeve:
- Stomach volume is reduced, but it tends to function normally so most food items can be consumed in small amounts
- Eliminates the portion of the stomach that produces the hormones that stimulates hunger (Ghrelin).
- No dumping syndrome because the pylorus is preserved.
- Minimizes the chance of an ulcer occurring.
- By avoiding the intestinal bypass, the chance of intestinal obstruction (blockage), anemia, osteoporosis, protein deficiency and vitamin deficiency are almost eliminated.
- Very effective as a first stage procedure for high BMI patients (BMI >55 kg/m2).
- Limited results appear promising as a single stage procedure for low BMI patients (BMI 35-45 kg/m2).
- Appealing option for people with existing anemia, Crohn's disease and numerous other conditions that make them too high risk for intestinal bypass procedures.

Lapband vs Gastric Bypass or Failed Gastric Bypass-
After gastric bypass, most patients lose weight rapidly and continue to lose for 18 to 24 months. Over time, however, some patients tend to eat more food, or eat more often. The tiny stomach pouch may stretch. The opening between the pouch and the reconnected intestine expands, allowing the stomach to empty at a faster rate. And, eventually, patients may start to gain weight again. In addition, over time, the body learns to adapt to the bypass and the small section of the intestine starts to work more efficiently - taking in more calories and nutrients.
Important Information about Gastric Bypass Surgery:
- Gastric Bypass is far more invasive and difficult procedure affecting many areas within the abdomen
- It is a permanent, nonreversible procedure. Once you have Gastric Bypass done, it can never be reversed.
- Due to the fact portions of the digestive system are bypassed, poor absorption of iron, B-12 and calcium can cause a greater chance of having anemia, bone calcium loss and a small chance of metabolic bone disease. Patients are often required to take nutritional supplements to avoid these risks.
- The bypassed portions of the abdomen from Gastric Bypass surgery cannot easily be seen using X-ray or endoscopy if there are problems such as ulcers, bleeding, or malignancy.
- Dumping syndrome can occur after Gastric Bypass when a patient eats too much sugar or large amounts of food. While it is not a serious health risk, the results are very unpleasant. Symptoms include vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, weakness, sweating and faintness. Some people are unable to eat sugary foods after surgery.
Comparison Information about Lapband Treatment
- Lapband treatment is a less invasive procedure with lower surgical risks and smaller risks of complications or hospitalization.
- After Lapband surgery you will have slower, but steady weight loss. Patients generally settle at their final weight about two years after surgery
- No dumping syndrome with Lapbands.
- Reversible unlike Gastric Bypass your Lapband can be removed.
- Adjustable Your Lapband can be adjusted to during your doctors visits to accommodate your customized weight loss needs
- More follow-up required with your doctor to monitor progress and make adjustments.
- No rearrangement of anatomy. Lapband is far less invasive.
Our Drs. suggest the LAP-BAND for patients who have experienced a failed gastric bypass. Once in place and inflated, the LAP-BAND re-establishes the small size of the pouch. After surgery, the size of the LAP-BAND can be tightened by simply inserting a needle under the skin to add more saline. Most patients require three to five adjustments in the LAP-BAND within the first year after surgery.
Surgery is not a magic bullet for weight loss and there are risks to the procedures. Patients should be fully informed about the benefits, risks, and post-operative expectations and needs. In addition, patients will need nutritional counseling and may need behavioral modification, emotional support and an appropriate exercise program. Find out if a Lapband Trip is right for you.
