To be certified to perform LAP-BAND® System surgery, all surgeons must attend a two-day specialized course to learn about the device and procedure. In addition, they must be advanced laparoscopic surgeons before even attending a LAP-BAND® System Certification Workshop. After this workshop, pre-certified surgeons are then supervised, one-on-one, by an experienced LAP-BAND® System surgeon for their first few cases. This helps them to acquire practical skill in performing the procedure.
