Here in the 90210, lap band procedures are one of the most sought after surgeries in Beverly Hills. With a lap band surgery , you'll finally be able to achieve the weight loss you've been after.

Why is lap band so effective?
The lap band is designed to make your stomach smaller. Generally, the less food your stomach can hold, the fewer calories you take in.

How much weight can I lose?
The amount you lose is up to you. Over time your new, smaller stomach will cause you to experience tremendous weight loss. The average lap band patient loses 40 percent of their overweight pounds within the first year after the procedure.

Is lap band a permanent weight loss surgery? It is only permanent in the sense that the majority of lap band patients keep the weight off in the long term. The lap band surgery is not a permanent procedure and can be reversed simply by removing the band from around the stomach. Gastric bypass is a more complicated surgery that involves rerouting the intestines and stapling or cutting the stomach, all of which cannot be reversed. The lap band is inserted using a tiny incision, but there is no cutting or stapling of the stomach or intestinal tract. With lap band surgery you get dramatic changes to your outside without dramatic changes to your insides.
