LAP BAND QUICK FACT

The average rate of weight loss in patients following LAP-BAND® Surgery is 1-1/2 to 2 pounds per week and 50% of excess weight within the first year. Although weight loss is slower with LAP-BAND® Surgery than with gastric bypass surgery during the first six months, by five years weight loss is comparable.
