Eligibility
The LaparoscopicBAND is especially designed for patients who have tried numerous weight loss options, but have failed to maintain or keep the weight off. It is particularly suited for overweight or obese patients, as well as patients who suffer from co-morbidities like hypertension, diabetes, sleep apnea or arthritis.
If you’re eligible for most elective surgeries, you’re probably eligible for a gastric banding procedure. It’s a versatile weight-loss tool: it can act as a life-saving measure for the morbidly obese, or it could help you lose as little as twenty pounds.
You can book a free consultation right now to determine whether you qualify for a band. It’s also a great opportunity to ask any questions you might have about the procedure itself, and about how it’ll work for you.
Keep in mind – the band’s efficacy and its impact depends on you. The band is a tool, not a quick-fix. And if you’re ready to make the choice to live healthy, to lose that weight and keep it off, it’ll be the right tool for you.
