107lbsI had my Lap-Band surgery on August 24th, 2023, and it has been the best decision I’ve ever made for myself. In those 11ish months, I have lost over 100 lbs, I have found tons of energy, and I’m able to be so much more active. I am so proud of how far I’ve come and cannot wait to see where this journey will continue to take me. ❤️ Thanks Dr. Rohrscheib and the ENTIRE team at IBC!!

Lost 76lbsStarted this journey a couple weeks after my 50th birthday. At work, I was getting farther and farther away from my patients as I was cleaning their teeth and at home, I was exhausted trying to watch my 6 granddaughters and soon to be 8 granddaughters. My main reason for picking the lap-band was it was going to almost eliminate my GERD. My GI doctor had told me, my cells were starting to change in my esophagus. Also, I had been taking Omeprozale for way too long. Now, the GERD is basically gone. Absolutely no regrets.

Important Lap-Band® System Safety Information
The Lap-Band Systems are approved for adults with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 40 or higher, or a BMI of at least 30 with health conditions related to obesity, who have not seen success with other weight loss methods, like supervised diet, exercise, and behavior modification programs. Choosing this surgery means committing to changes in eating habits for the long term.
The Lap-Band procedure is not approved for individuals under 18 yo, those with conditions that may make them poor surgical candidates or lead to poor results, such as inflammatory or cardiopulmonary diseases, problems with the stomach and digestion, symptoms or family history of autoimmune disease, scarring of the liver, individuals unable or unwilling to follow the necessary dietary restrictions, individuals with alcohol or drug addictions, or those currently pregnant. Individuals who become pregnant after band placement may require deflation of their bands.
The Lap-Band Systems, a long-term tool, may need to be adjusted if you get pregnant, sick, or malnourished. Be careful with anti-inflammatory drugs as they could make the band wear away. Like any surgery, placement of the Lap-Band may have complications such as risks from drugs and methods used, general surgery risks, how well your body handles a foreign object, or in rare cases, risk of death.
As with any surgical procedure, there are risks associated with metabolic and bariatric surgery that you and your doctor should discuss. Potential risks associated with the Lap-Band include nausea, vomiting, heartburn, stomach blockage, constipation, swallowing difficulty, diarrhea, abnormal stools, abdominal pain, weakness, incision pain, infection, fever, hernia, chest pain, band movement, stomach pouch expansion, unusual healing, pain at the port site, port movement, and/or hair loss. Additional surgery might be needed. Losing weight quickly could lead to complications requiring more surgery.
Talk to your doctor, and/or visit our website at www.lapband.com/safety/ for more information on its benefits and risks.
