How do LAP-BAND weight loss results compare with those from gastric bypass?
Surgeons report that gastric bypass patients typically lose weight faster in the first year. This may seem like a benefit, but it’s temporary. At five years, many LAP-BAND and gastric bypass patients have achieved comparable weight loss.1 Remember, it’s important to lose weight gradually, to improve your health and reduce obesity-related risks. It’s best to focus on healthy, long-term weight loss.
