Lap-Band® surgery lap band system

The LAP-BAND® Adjustable Gastric Banding System is an FDA-approved surgical treatment for severe obesity. The LAP-BAND® System reduces the capacity of the stomach, thereby reducing the amount of food that can be ingested. It is an adjustable ring, and once in place it is inflated with saline so that it tightens. This tightening restricts the volume of food that can enter and pass through the stomach. The surgery is done with long, thin instruments which are inserted through a number of very small incisions. Generally, surgery takes about one hour. The leading bariatric surgery today is the Lap Band System. It has considerably less risk than gastric bypass surgery since it requires no cutting or stapling of the stomach with no bypassing of the stomach or intestines.

Lap Band Insurance

Insurance coverage for lap band weight loss surgery varies by insurer and state. If you are considering having this type of operation, it is important to work with your doctor and insurance company to see what is or is not covered. It is said that overweight individuals and insurance carriers spend over $238 billion dollars treating obesity connected health issues. In addition, overweight individuals are more likely to suffer an early death than patients who are of normal weight. Health insurance carriers are starting to realize the amount of money spent on these illnesses and are beginning to cover many aspects of weight loss surgery. Since 2006, Medicare and Medicaid, two government programs serving the nation's elderly and poor, have expanded their coverage for bariatric surgery. "Bariatric surgery is not the first option for obesity treatment, but when performed by expert surgeons it is an important option for some of our beneficiaries," CMS Administrator Mark B. McClellan, M.D., Ph.D., said in a news release dated February 21, 2006.

Lap-Band® Success stories "I am now living the most healthy and happy life"

I'm from New Jersey. I flew to Mexico with my then husband, Jeff. I am Peruvian and was a lower BMI patient. I am very happy to say that I am only 12 lbs from reaching my goal weight. I am down a total of 78 lbs. I have had a great experience with my band! I am eating so much healthier and working out three times per week. I am getting used to my new adjustment which was up'd to 3cc's a couple weeks ago. I have very good restriction.

Thanks so much for being a wonderful surgeon.
