The Lap-Band® is commonly an outpatient treatment, with a recovery time of about one week. The flexible band is positioned around the top section of the stomach restricting the amount of food that will travel through it, consequently assisting the individual in attaining weight-loss. The Lap-Band® Treatment does not require any sort of re-routing of the anatomy, cutting, or any type of stapling.
The Lap-Band helps you take control over your weight because only the Lap-Band can be tightened or loosened as your body or your physical needs over time, helping to provide sustainable weight-loss over the long term. This will leave the patient with a gentler recovery duration than other kinds of weight-reduction surgery.

to Learn About The Weight-Loss Solution For You

Effective. Long-term, sustainable weight-loss recognizes that your life and circumstances will change over time. Because your band can be tightened or loosened as your body or your physical needs change, the Lap-Band® Program helps provide sustainable weight-loss over the long term. On average, patients have kept off 60% of their excess body weight after 5 years.²
Adjustable. Other bariatric procedures partially amputate large portions of your anatomy in an effort to provide a one-size-fits-all solution to individual circumstances. The Lap-Band Program is the only bariatric option that can be customized for your life, today and tomorrow.
Safe. The Lap-Band Program does not amputate any part of the gastrointestinal anatomy in a laparoscopic procedure that allows most patients to be home on the same day. Patients also find the procedure helps improve or resolve serious weight-related medical conditions, like diabetes or asthma.

Important Lap-Band® System Safety Information

The Lap-Band System is indicated for weight reduction for patients with obesity, with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of at least 40 kg/m2 or a BMI of at least 30 kg/m2 with one or more obesity-related comorbid conditions. It is indicated for use only in adult patients who have failed more conservative weight reduction alternatives, such as supervised diet, exercise and behavior modification programs. Patients who elect to have this surgery must make the commitment to accept significant changes in their eating habits for the rest of their lives.

The Lap-Band System is not recommended for non-adult patients (patients under 18 years of age), patients with conditions that may make them poor surgical candidates or increase the risk of poor results, who are unwilling or unable to comply with the required dietary restrictions, or who currently are or may be pregnant.

The Lap-Band System is a long-term implant. Explant and replacement surgery may be required. Patients who become pregnant or severely ill, or who require more extensive nutrition may require deflation of their bands. Anti-inflammatory agents, such as aspirin, should be used with caution and may contribute to an increased risk of band erosion.

Placement of the Lap-Band System is major surgery and, as with any surgery, death can occur. Possible complications include the risks associated with the medications and methods used during surgery, the risks associated with any surgical procedure, and the patient’s ability to tolerate a foreign object implanted in the body. Most common related adverse events include: Band slippage, pouch dilation, stoma obstruction, gastroesophageal reflux, esophageal dilation, cholelithiasis, incisional infection, abdominal pain, gastroenteritis, or nausea and vomiting may occur. Reoperation may be required. Rapid weight loss may result in complications that may require additional surgery. Deflation of the band may alleviate excessively rapid weight loss or esophageal dilation.

CAUTION: Rx only.
