Adjustable Gastric Banding:
The Lap-Band ® System
The LAP-BAND® is a laparoscopically implantable device which gives
patients another option for weight loss surgery. The LAP-BAND® is
the least invasive of the weight loss surgeries. During the LAP-BAND®
procedure, a hollow, adjustable, silicone band is placed around the upper
part of the stomach. Without cutting or separating the stomach or the
intestines, the stomach is divided into two parts by the placement of
a band around the stomach, a smaller upper part and a larger lower part,
creating an adjustable opening between the two parts. The band is connected
to a port which is placed under the skin, allowing the addition of fluid
to the band. By adding fluid, the band is tightened, reducing the amount
you can eat.
Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass
The Citizens Bariatric Program offers what most experts consider the current
"gold standard" for weight loss surgery: a proven and effective
surgical procedure known as the Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass.
The Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y stomach bypass combines a maximum long-term
weight loss procedure with all the benefits of laparoscopic surgery. The
procedure is performed with a state-of-the-art laparoscopic digital imaging
system through tiny keyhole incisions. The operation is usually completed
in less than two hours. Our average hospital length of stay is slightly
less than 48 hours.
