What is LAP-BAND® ?
Peak Bariatric’s LAP-BAND®, or Gastric Band, is a reversible bariatric weight loss procedure in which an adjustable gastric band is placed around the upper portion of the stomach, like a belt. The surgery is minimally invasive, so no cutting, stomach amputation or use of surgical staples is involved. The LAP-BAND® procedure gives patients steady control over weight loss, allows for adjustments following the surgery, and helps patients better control their appetite and feel full sooner.
