  1. Dropping Weight With Lap-Band Surgery & Factors Affecting It!

  2. What Is Lap-Band Surgery? The adjustable gastric band, often called the Lap-Band, is a silicone band that constricts the top part of the stomach. The goal is to reduce the size of the stomach, similar to procedures such as the gastric bypass or the gastric sleeve.

  3. How Much Weight Can You Lose? The average weight loss for Lap-Band patients, in total, is 50% of excess weight. For example, if a patient weighs 400 pounds but their ideal weight is 150 pounds, their excess weight is 250 pounds and they can expect to lose 125 pounds with Lap-Band surgery. Their resulting weight is 275 pounds.

  4. Factors Affecting Weight Loss After Lap-Band Diet & Eating Habits Post-Op A Lap-Band patient that is successful at meeting their weight loss goals and surpasses the average weight loss is a patient that sticks to healthy eating habits post-op. It's always better to stick to it!

  5. Exercise Regimen Although a patient cannot do much exercise immediately after the surgery, they will be allowed to introduce exercise at the doctor’s instruction.

  6. Starting BMI and Weight Heavier patients typically lose more weight. This is just due to math. However, it also depends on BMI. A person with a higher BMI is more likely to lose more weight.

  7. Adjusting the Band If the Lap-Band needs adjustments, this could affect weight loss. The nice thing about the Lap-Band is that if the patient doesn’t get the results they want, they can adjust the band to make them feel fuller on smaller portions. Click here for more information.

  8. In Summary • The Lap-Band procedure is a popular weight loss option that is also reversible. • A Lap-Band patient will lose, on average, 50% of their excess weight. • There are many factors affecting potential weight loss after Lap-Band surgery.
