Lapband surgery is a viable option for those with more than 60 pounds to lose. Sometimes those considering lapband have tried multiple diets with no success. Many patients are interested in knowing the lap band cost, but it is also important to know the benefits as well as any lap band complication. For this reason, Love Lapband offers free consultations with one of our excellent bariatric surgeons, so that each patient can informatively decide if the surgery is right for their personal needs.

Side Effects of LapBand

Lap band surgery has helped millions achieve their weight-loss goals by giving them a tool to curb their hunger. Unlike most gastric banding, the lap band is adjustable to suit the needs of each patient. Many ask their bariatric doctor what the side effects will be after the surgery. Side effects directly following the lap band surgery include vomiting (if food is consumed too quickly), constipation, and heartburn. Although patients can go back to enjoying their favorite foods within a couple of months following the surgery, in the days and weeks after the lap band is placed, patients must get used to the system and gradually work up to eating solid foods again.
