If you or someone you love is at least 100 lbs overweight, you should know: the LAP-BAND® System may be able to help you lose weight - allowing you to avoid weight-related health risks and live healthier, doing more of the things you want to do.

In fact, the LAP-BAND® System has been proven in studies to significantly reduce weight and body mass steadily and consistently with patients maintaining their weight loss over time.1,2,3
