Lap Band Obesity Surgery

Obesity surgery is seen as a last resort for the morbidly obese. People who have tried and failed to lose weight over a period of at least one year, who have been obese for five years or longer, may be good candidates for the surgery. When people think of obesity surgery, gastric bypass surgery comes to mind. However, there are other options for weight loss surgery, including the lap band procedure.

 

Gastric bypass surgery reroutes the digestive system, shortening it, and reducing the size of the stomach. It is invasive surgery that can result in complications such as deep vein blood clots or malnutrition. In addition, it is not reversible.

 

A newer procedure, the lap band obesity surgery, is done laparoscopically and is also considered safer. One of its major benefits is that it is fully reversible. Another is that it requires a shorter hospital stay. In addition, it can be adjusted as time goes by, to help facilitate or stabilize weight loss. The procedure involves implementing a band around the stomach, creating a smaller stomach pouch, slowing down the flow of food into the larger portion of the stomach and the rest of the digestive tract.

 

Thousands of patients undergo this procedure every year in the U.S. and around the world. For substantial savings while having the procedure performed by well-qualified, board-certified physicians, consider coming to the Bajanor Obesity Center for your obesity surgery.

Help With Obesity

Have you been consistently obese for five years or longer? If so, you may be a candidate for obesity surgery. If this is something you are considering, you may wish to talk to one of the consultants here at Bajanor Hospital. They can offer you information about the surgery so you can decide if you want this type of help with your obesity.

 

Good candidates for lap band surgery, the type of weight loss surgery we perform here, meet the following requirements. You must have a Body Mass Index (BMI) above 40, or between 30 and 40 with comorbidities such as diabetes or sleep apnea. You should be between 14 and 55 years of age, although age doesn't automatically disqualify you. You should have tried and failed at dietary or weight-loss drug therapy for more than one year. You should not have any dependency on alcohol or drugs, or have glandular diseases such as hypothyroidism. Also, you must be an acceptable operative risk.

 

Before you are approved for this surgery, you will go through extensive preoperative testing. This is done to make sure that you are a good candidate for the surgery and that it is safe for you. Remember that there are risks with any surgery, and carefully weigh the risks against the potential benefits.

 

At Bajanor.com, we have performed many successful lap band surgeries for people who need help with obesity. Surgery should only be performed after you have tried other methods and failed, and if you are willing to make extensive lifestyle, diet, and exercise modifications.
