Types of Obesity Surgery Performed

Lap-Band System
LAP-BAND was FDA approved in June 2001, prior to that it enjoyed excellent results in Australia and Europe as a proven solution to the obesity epidemic. Overall, LAP-BAND patients can typically expect to lose 50 to 70% of their extra body weight over the course of 12 to 18 months after the surgery. You should be aware that some insurance companies are not yet paying for LAP-BAND surgery since it is still fairly new to the market. Others may pay for only part of the procedure. Each insurance company is unique in their requirements and the way they deal with LAP-BAND surgery and policies change frequently.

Laparoscopic or open bariatric surgery, such as gastric banding or bypass is not an easy solution to morbid obesity and weight loss. It is a serious surgical procedure, involving health risks. To produce lasting weight loss it requires a long-term patient commitment to eating a healthy diet and following a regular program of physical exercise. Life-long use of nutritional supplements may also be necessary. So, before deciding, discuss your options fully with your doctor. © 2003-2008 Bariatric-Surgery.Info - Terms - Contact - Information - Resources - Add URL
