The LAP-BAND System is an effective treatment for morbid obesity and
can help you achieve lasting results by limiting food intake, reducing
appetite and slowing digestion. But the pounds do not come off by themselves.
It is important to understand that you play an active role in the weight-loss
process and ultimate success of the procedure, LAP-BAND System patients
should expect gradual weight loss, approximately 1-2 pounds per week on
average over the first year. Your individual excess weight-loss results
may vary.
