Lap Band surgery is a bariatric weight loss surgery that is a less invasive alternative to gastric bypass surgery. Lap Band surgery is typically down as an outpatient procedure and patients are able to go home just a few hours after surgery is completed. Lap Band surgery does not cut the stomach as gastric bypass surgery does. Instead a band is placed around the stomach that reduced the amount of food the body can take in. This band can be easily adjusted to allow more or less food to be consumed at any time. The band is also completely removable.
