Adjustable Weight Loss Surgery

If you've given up losing weight after dieting and exercising for years, then JourneyLite's lap-band system could be just for you. LAP-BAND is the least invasive weight-loss surgery available today because there are no cutting or rerouting of the small intestines involved. It's reversible and adjustable and you can go home a few hours after the surgery. This system is designed to restrict food intake without affecting the normal digestive process. Using small instruments, a silastic band will be placed around the upper portion of the stomach to create a small pouch and a narrow passage into the larger stomach. This pouch can hold only an ounce or two of food so you will feel satisfied immediately when eating. Aside from being adjustable and reversible, the risk of complications is very low in this kind of procedure.
