Lap Band Surgery Before and After Photos

Ever wonder how what people look like before and after lap band surgery? LAP-BAND Surgery, referred to as Gastric Banding, has helped thousands of patients lose weight long-term. The lap band procedure is an interesting weight loss procedure, as it doesn’t remove or reroute anything inside of the body.

Instead, a silicone band is added to the upper portion of the stomach. The LAP-BAND is then adjusted to restrict stomach size and food intake, creating amazing transformations. Here are some of our Lap Band surgery before and after photos.

Lap Band Surgery, or Gastric Banding, is a restrictive weight loss surgery that uses an implant to restrict the upper portion of the stomach.
