Then you might want to consider the Lap-Band® procedure, which helps you lose weight without surgery. At AZ Surgical Weight Loss in Phoenix, Glendale, and Tucson, Arizona, the team performs the Lap-Band® procedure to help those who want to lose weight but feel unsure about weight loss surgery. To learn more about the Lap-Band®, call the office nearest you or schedule an appointment online today.

The Lap-Band is a minimally invasive reversible weight loss procedure. The Lap-Band works a lot like bariatric surgery, but without permanently changing your stomach or small intestine. With the Lap-Band, your surgeon at AZ Surgical Weight Loss wraps a device around the top part of your stomach and tightens it to create a small stomach pouch.

Your small stomach pouch limits the amount of food you can eat at one time, helping you feel full faster. The Lap-Band also slows the movement of food through your stomach, so you feel full longer.

Lap-Band benefits

Some of the benefits include:

Lap-Band® FAQs

What Can I Expect With the Lap-Band?

The Lap-Band is an outpatient procedure that takes about an hour. Downtime is minimal, and you can get back to your daily routine quickly. After placement of your Lap-Band, you start the aftercare program, which includes an online health coach who works with your team at AZ Surgical Weight Loss.

The Lap-Band helps you get in tune with your hunger while controlling the amount of food you eat. You can lose a significant amount of weight with the Lap-Band, but the program focuses on teaching you how to eat for health to sustain your new healthy weight by eating what you love.

When Do I Need Lap-Band Adjustments?

The AZ Surgical Weight Loss team has you come in for your first Lap-Band adjustment about six weeks after the initial placement of the band. During the adjustment, your provider inserts a needle into your Lap-Band port and adds saline to tighten the band or removes saline to loosen it.

The team may have you come in for adjustments five to eight times during the first year. Once you reach your goal weight and feel confident about your new lifestyle, the team removes the Lap-Band.
