The Lap-Band® Center of Oklahoma uses the Lap-Band® Adjustable Gastric Banding System by Allergan. According to Dr. Ladd Atkins, “It is by far the safest weight loss surgery device on the market today.” Dr. Atkins explains that the Lap-Band® System is much safer than stomach stapling or gastric bypass surgery because there is no cutting or stapling involved. This process is the least invasive way to use surgery to reduce the amount of food the stomach can hold. “It’s less invasive than gall bladder surgery,” Dr. Adkins explains. The Lap-Band® Adjustable Gastric Banding System restricts
how much the stomach can hold by placing an adjustable band around the upper part of the stomach. There is no cutting or stapling needed to divide the upper stomach pouch from the lower stomach. The result is that patients take in less food. The ideal patient has a BMI (body mass index) of 30 or higher with at least one comorbidity (secondary disorder or disease), which typically includes type 2 diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, and osteoarthritis.
