Sunday, February 7, 2010
Weight loss surgery offers patients hope to resolve or improve obesity problem. Bariatric surgery is the most extreme as well as the most effective method available to assist patients with weight loss. Bariatric surgery refers to surgical procedures aimed to restricting food intake or food absorption. There are various types of bariatric surgery. The two most common types of bariatric surgery are gastric-bypass and lap-band surgery.

The Lap-Band, also called Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding or LAGB, is an effective tool for weight loss even in the United States. The lap-band was approved in the United States by the Food and Drug Administration since 2001. The surgery is fast, often taking less than an hour. Lap-band helps patients eat less, and feel full longer, thereby reducing weight and improving overall health.

There are several lap band Columbus surgeons with good laparoscopic skills available for people who interested in the lap-band system. You should find them to make initial consultation to find out whether you are good candidate or not for the lap-band surgery.
