“We are seeing a dramatic change in the types of people who attend thisconference,” said Dr. Terry Simpson. “Increasingly, we are finding thatpeople with as little as 50 to 150 lbs to lose are coming to thisconference and to our practice looking for a solution to their weight lossproblems. These are people who have tried every diet, every fitnessprogram, and every over-the-counter solution available in the market andare looking for a safe, healthy surgical alternative. LAP-Band surgery — atopic this conference addresses — is fast becoming as popular as electiveplastic surgery among people looking to improve their health and well-beingby losing their extra weight. Bariatric surgery is no longer just for themorbidly obese,” concluded Simpson.
The LAP-BAND procedure is a less-invasive bariatric surgery that uses aband placed where the esophagus and small stomach meet, essentially actingas a built-in ‘portion control’ mechanism thereby managing the patient’sfood intake, and allowing them to lose weight naturally and withnutritional balance. LAP-BANDs can be easily adjusted via a port insertedunder the patient’s skin. Saline injections into the port will cause theLAP-BAND to either expand or contract thereby resizing the pathway forfood, and helping patients with portion management. The LAP-BAND is also100% reversible.
