A. The laparoscopic gastric band is performed through 4 tiny incisions, and 1 larger incision to accommodate the port. The Lap Band does not involve any cutting or rerouting of intestine, and therefore takes approximately 1 hour to perform. You should expect to be discharged the day after surgery. In certain cases you may be discharged on the same day. The Lap Band is adjustable and reversible.
