Lap band surgery was once a common choice for weight loss since it was considered “reversible,” but many patients today are dissatisfied with its slower progress. Because the adjustable band only limits food intake without affecting hunger hormones or absorption, results can be inconsistent or stall over time.
As a result, this procedure is becoming less popular as more effective and lasting options take its place. Patients who want to move beyond the lap band often upgrade to Mini Sleeve©, gastric bypass, or SADI-S procedures.
Each of these procedures provides a more complete and effective alternative to the lap band, helping patients reach their goals with greater long-term success.
