What is the Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Band?

The Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Band or Lap-Band (LAGB) is a weight loss procedure offered at BMI Surgical Institute.

With the LAGB, a physician will place a gastric band around the upper portion of the patient’s stomach. The purpose of this procedure is to form a small pouch to hold food.

LAGB patients will experience food restriction which helps feel more full between meals.
