Is the LAP-BAND surgery safe? Is this surgery performed using minimally invasive surgical techniques?
Yes. The LAP-BAND procedure is considered the least invasive bariatric surgery available offering fewer complications, less pain, less scarring, and a quicker recovery than any other form of obesity surgery. The LAP-BAND procedure is performed laparoscopically. The cameras and instruments our surgeon uses offer superior visibility and access for precise dissection of tissues and associated blood vessels. The operation is completed in a relatively short period of time (approximately 1 hour) and with minimal blood loss. The benefits of using these minimally invasive methods are that patients experience less pain, easier breathing, minimal scarring and a quicker recovery.
