SubscribeBariatric surgery, or weight loss surgery, is a type of procedure performed on people who are dangerously obese, for the purpose of losing weight. The intention of bariatric surgery is to enable morbidly obese patients to lose weight that they are unable to lose by conservative means. The two most common bariatric surgery are gastric-bypass and lap-band surgery.
Lap Band surgery is a purely restrictive method in which the surgeon implants a ring or band to squeeze the stomach to produce small upper stomach pouch and a narrow opening from it into the lower stomach, inducing an early feeling of fullness and thereby decreasing food intake. Lap Band procedure is showing high rates of success with long-term weight loss.
If you consider Lap Band surgery in Missouri, you should go to certified surgeon to get a comprehensive medical evaluation to find out if you are a good candidate for surgery.
