Lap Band

My friend's brother is looking into weight loss surgery. I just found out about the Lap Band procedure (Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding)and am definitely going to tell him about it. It seems much safer than some other alternatives. Instead of a big incision, the surgeon will use tiny, laparoscopic incisions. Its also a very simple concept. A band is wrapped around the upper part of your stomach and it leaves you with a smaller pouch. With a smaller pouch, you will get full faster and eat less. Do you know someone who could benefit from this type of procedure?
