LAP BAND BY JOURNEYLITE

I am overweight and want to do something about it. My daughter did and she looks great. She opted for a procedure called lapband. What it is, is a Adjustable Gastric Banding that reduces the stomach capacity and restricts the amount of food that can be eaten at one time.

JourneyLite is the company that can do this for you because they are nation wide. During the procedure the JourneyLite surgeon will be making tiny incisions and inserting long shafted instruments through these tiny incisions to wrap the inflatable silicone band around the upper part of the stomach. A small camera is passed through the incision so the JourneyLite surgeon can see the operative site on a video monitor. After the lapband is in place a small stomach pouch has been created to hold a smaller amount of food so food storage in the stomach is reduced. You will be monitored to be determined if the lapband has to be adjusted to create a smaller of larger opening to the stomach.

My daughter has had this procedure done and for the first time in 13 years she wore a bathing suit this year. She has lost 42 pounds since having this done. The lapband procedure does work so look into it at JourneyLite at one of their many locations.
