At Davtyan Medical Weight Loss and Wellness, we aim to make every step as clear as possible for our clients. The procedure, usually carried out laparoscopically, involves making minute incisions in your abdomen. Through these incisions, instruments and a camera are inserted to guide the operation. Typically, you can expect a hospital stay of one or two days. Under general anesthesia, the Lap Band is meticulously placed around the upper section of your stomach and secured with sutures. We then install a small device known as a port or reservoir underneath your skin in the abdominal area. This port, connected to the Lap Band via a tube, permits the surgeon to adjust the band’s tightness periodically for your personal comfort and progress by injecting a minimal amount of saline water.

At Davtyan Medical Weight Loss and Wellness, we pride ourselves in offering the Lap Band System, a weight-loss procedure that prioritizes patients’ safety and provides long-lasting results. A gentle silicone band is affixed around the upper stomach, forming a smaller stomach pouch which facilitates reduced meal portions and promotes earlier satiety. Notably, the Lap Band System is one of the least invasive, most secure, and entirely reversible bariatric procedures available, requiring no cutting or rerouting of the stomach or intestines unlike procedures such as gastric bypass and the sleeve gastrectomy. Before you start this transformative journey, our experienced surgical team ensures you undergo thorough evaluation to qualify for the procedure. Your journey to a healthier, happier life is important to us, and we look forward to guiding you every step of the way.
