A member asked:
What is the lap band procedure and how it works but is weight loss certain after surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lap band: Weight loss is not guaranteed after any of the weight loss operations. However, the gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy have significantly higher success rates than the lap band. The lap band is still a good operation, but it's something you need to be aware of. You can read about the procedures at http://www.Realize.Com.
