Some of the generalized results of the Lap Band are:
- 50-60% excess weight loss
- Weight loss typically takes place over 2-3 years
- Many comorbidities (e.g. sleep apnea, hypertension, etc.) are relieved with the weight loss
- While the Lap Band may not have the significant weight loss of the bypass or other procedures, many of the comorbid conditions associated with obesity are relieved with the Lap Band weight loss. Consult your surgeon for more information.
