Lap Band surgery: If you're already planning lap band surgery, your surgeon should have educated you on the procedure. They endoscopically place a band around your stomach to make it smaller, restricting the amount of food you can eat at one time. Weight loss usually results, but you need to follow instructions after the procedure also. http://tinyurl.com/m7xmevs get more info from your surgeon beforehand.
