Tired of struggling with your weight? Are you ready to shed some pounds? If you are obese and have been unsuccessful losing weight on your own, you may want to consider getting lap band surgery. Since it was approved by Health Canada in 1999 and the FDA in 2001, thousands of patients have been successful in losing weight with the help of lap band surgery. Lapband surgery offers many advantages over other bariatric surgeries (like gastric bypass surgery) that make it a more attractive option for those looking to lose weight safely. Lap band surgeons use laparoscopic techniques to perform the procedure. Laparoscopic techniques utilize small incisions and long instruments to implant an inflatable silicone band into the patient’s stomach. This band induces weight loss by reducing the capacity of a patient’s stomach, restricting the amount of food they can eat before feeling full. Because the surgery does not involve any deep cuts, large openings or stapling, recovery time is much shorter and post-operative pain is greatly reduced (compared to other bariatric procedures). Another great advantage of lapband surgery is that the lap band can be adjusted to accommodate personal weight loss goals and needs. For example, patients who are unhappy with the amount of weight they are losing can have their bands tightened, while patients who become pregnant can have their band loosened. Should a patient need their lap band adjusted for any reason, its inner surface can be inflated or deflated with a saline solution. Another reason why lapband surgery is such a safe option is because it is completely reversible. If a patient needs their lap band removed, it can be done (often with laparoscopic techniques), and the stomach will return to its original shape.
