The laparoscopic adjustable gastric band (LAGB) is a highly effective and increasingly popular surgical treatment for weight problems. Gastric band surgery has a number of distinct advantages compared to other types of obesity surgery, the most important of which is that it is the least invasive and by far the safest of the available surgical options.
Since the first LAP-BAND® was implanted in 1993, more than 400,000 gastric banding obesity surgery procedures have been performed worldwide. You can learn more about the laparoscopic gastric band by clicking on the relevant sections below.
