Easy Lap Band surgery is quickly becoming the most requested form of weight loss surgery, and it's easy to see why. The Easy Lap Band has many advantages over traditional gastric bypass procedures including

It's minimally invasive- The silicone band is inserted using extremely tiny incisions and a surgical tool called a laparoscope. The less tissue disturbed in the surgical process reduces the risk of bleeding and also cuts down on recovery time. You can be back to an almost normal routine in a week, maybe less.

It's reversible- The Easy Lap Band can be removed; it simply fits around your stomach, no permanent change of the stomach is involved in the surgery. Gastric bypass is not reversible because the stomach pouch is either severed or stapled to make it smaller. Part of the intestine may be removed during gastric bypass.

It's adjustable- Your Easy Lap Band surgeon will fill the band with saline solution to tighten it and restrict caloric intake, or it can be loosened to increase the amount of calories taken in. This is done by using an access port under the skin, and can be done any time following surgery.
