Lap Band Removal at CARE Surgery Clinic
At CARE Surgery Clinic, we understand that weight loss journeys are not always straightforward. Suppose you have a laparoscopic adjustable gastric band (Lap-Band) and are experiencing complications or unsatisfactory results or desire its removal. In that case, our experienced surgeons offer safe and effective Lap-Band removal procedures.
Why Consider Lap Band Removal?
While Lap-Band surgery was once a popular weight loss option, it can sometimes lead to complications or inadequate weight loss. Reasons for removal may include:
- Inadequate Weight Loss or Weight Regain: Removal may be necessary if the Lap-Band hasn’t helped you achieve your weight loss goals or experienced significant weight regain.
- Band Slippage or Erosion: The band can sometimes slip out of place or erode into the stomach, requiring removal.
- Intolerance or Complications: Some individuals experience discomfort, difficulty swallowing, nausea, vomiting, or other complications that necessitate removal.
- Desire for Revision: You may wish to have the Lap-Band removed and consider a different weight loss procedure, such as gastric sleeve or gastric bypass.
Benefits of Lap Band Removal
- Relief from Complications: Removing a problematic Lap-Band can alleviate symptoms and improve your quality of life.
- Opens Up New Options: Removal allows you to explore other weight loss solutions that may be more effective for you.
- Restores Normal Anatomy: Removing the band restores your stomach’s natural anatomy.
