Adjustable
Gastric Banding (Lap-Band®) surgery is one of the safest,
most popular, and affordable medical weight loss procedures
available. The surgery is performed by placing a band around
the uppermost part of the stomach, thereby limiting the amount
of food one can eat at a time. The band is then adjusted to
increase or decrease the amount of food that the stomach can
hold.
Adjustable Gastric Banding (Lap-Band®) surgery does not involve any stomach
stapling. The actual surgery only takes 30 minutes to an hour to perform and
usually only requires one day’s stay in the hospital. The Lap Band® procedure
is reversible and adjustment of the band is done with a simple needle puncture.
After this weight loss surgery, our patients are first placed on a liquid diet and then on a high
protein diet. Our expert nutritionists carefully supervise these diets. Results
can be noticed in a matter of weeks or even days.
Our doctors and staff are committed to achieving lifelong results for our patients.
We will work with you before, during, and after your procedure to ensure that
the weight comes off and stays off.
Areas of Texas we serve include: San Antonio, Austin, Corpus Christi, New Braunfels, Beaumont,
