Why the LAP-BAND® System?
A safe, personalized weight loss option you can trust.
You’ve probably tried to lose weight before, but gained it all back – and sometimes more. For many, it’s a never-ending cycle. But you’re not alone. Studies have shown that patients on traditional weight loss programs lose weight, but often regain 2/3 of it within one year – and all of it within five years. (American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists/American College of Endocrinology Obesity Task Force. AACE/ACE Position Statement on the Prevention, Diagnosis, and Treatment of Obesity (1998 Revision). Endocr Pract. 1998;4:297-350)
