The Process of Lap Band Procedure

The doctor will determine whether the patient can be suitable for a lap band surgery prior to going through the procedure. Pre-operative screening will be carried out. This involves undertaking variable laboratory tests such as blood tests, gastroscopy and imaging tests. The procedure itself will involve the creation of a pouch in the stomach to limit the amount of food intake. The surgical procedure may lasts for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour.
