Lap Band Results Prove Positive

Studies indicate that Lap Band surgery (as compared to other options) offers the desired results - sustained long-term weight loss in patients who have not been successful using other treatments.

Based on the average weight loss seen in most Lap-Band patients, individuals who have had the procedure can expect to lose about 1-1/2 to 2 pounds per week and about 50 percent of their excess weight within the first year of surgery.

One's individual results may be more or less than the average because weight loss is dependent on a number of factors including one's beginning weight, their diet after surgery, and the amount of exercise they do.

Not only does the weight coming off provide positive results, but many patients will see changes in other health-related areas that were challenged by being overweight. Patients will often report that they no longer suffer from things like sleep apnea, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and more.

Lap Band Results are Inspirational

When you listen to and see some of the results that people have had with Lap Band surgery, you cannot help but feel inspired if you are battling your weight.

One patient who came to TopSurgeons had not even reached 30 years old, yet he had been battling being overweight for a number of years.

The patient said that following his Lap Band procedure at TopSurgeons, he had lost 36 pounds to date. More importantly, he noted just why he had the procedure done in the first place. It was for his son, saying he didn't want the boy to grow up without his father who was putting his health at risk by being overweight.

"I couldn't even walk five minutes without losing my breath," the patient noted. "Now I'm playing basketball and I have a lot more stamina."

Another TopSurgeons patient said that being overweight oftentimes prevented her from the pleasures of life.

"I was so in desperate need of getting help," the woman said. "My self-esteem was really low with all this weight I had on me."

Not only was she fighting low self-esteem, but even playing with her children was becoming an issue. Prior to having Lap Band surgery, the woman says that she would come home from work and go straight to bed as a result of being so tired. It was not exactly the picture she envisioned with her children.

Since having the Lap Band procedure done, the woman has regained her life and has a new outlook on her health.

"I play with my kids again and I have a lot more energy," she noted.
