I just stumbled across an online article that does a good job explaining surgery with the LAP-BAND ® System. This article talks about bariatric surgery in general, which paved the way for the LAP-BAND ® device and surgical procedure.
It also explains, although briefly, how the procedure works toward reducing a patient’s appetite and weight.
And don’t forget, we have dozens of similar articles on weight-loss surgery (including an informative piece about the LAP-BAND®).
