Patients typically lose 40-50% of excess body weight over 1-2 years. Weight loss with lap band is more gradual compared to other bariatric procedures, promoting sustainable results.

How often does the lap band need adjustment?

Lap band adjustments are typically needed every 4-6 weeks during the first year, then less frequently. Dr. Davtyan monitors your progress and adjusts the band for optimal restriction.

Dr Fielding & Lap-Band Surgery

Hi, I’m Dr. George Fielding, and I’ve been a weight loss surgeon for nearly 20 years. I’ve done thousands of these operations. Bands, bypasses, sleeves, you name it. For my patients today, I recommend the Lap-Band in almost every case not only is it extremely effective, offering it’s significant and sustainable weight loss banding is safer than sleeve. The Lap-Band is the only device approved by the FDA for obese patients. You need to lose as little as 30 pounds whose weight is affecting their health. Lap-Band is not for those who are pregnant, have autoimmune or organ disease reoperation, band slippage, stomach injury, removal in battalia teas are rare, other adverse events include vomiting and heartburn.

Thirteen years ago, I was a big sick man at 335 pounds. I could have chosen any weight loss surgery, but I chose the Lap-Band, the newer, would help me lose weight, help me change my behaviors and then keep the weight off long term. Not all weight loss centers are the same. It’s important to go to a Lap-Band specialist for your procedure. Go to lapband.com and find a specialist like me in your area.
