The Benefits of Lap Band Surgery In Mexico

Lap-Band surgery limits the amount of food the stomach can hold by placing an inflatable silicone band around the upper stomach. The new, small upper stomach pouch limits the amount of food that can be consumed at a time and a narrower stomach opening increases the time it takes to empty the stomach. The subsequent decrease in food intake causes weight loss. 

The FDA approves two brands of bands: Allergan's and Johnson & Johnson. Both are available at Hispano Americano Hospital in Mexicali, Mexico.

Advantages of the lap-band surgery:

It consists of a Minimal Trauma

• Less invasive surgical option than other bariatric surgeries
• Has the lowest rate of surgical complications
• Requires no intestinal re-routing
• It requires no cutting or stapling of the stomach wall or bowel
• Small incisions and minimal scarring
• Less pain for the patient, less prolonged hospital stay and reduced recovery period

Has Fewer Risks and Side Effects

• Considerably lower risk of mortality than other obesity surgery
• Low risk of nutritional deficiencies associated with Gastric Bypass Surgery
• Reduced risk of hair loss
• No "dumping syndrome" related to restrictions in food intake

It is Adjustable

• Allows individualized level restriction for the ideal speed to lose weight
• Adjustments can be performed without additional surgery
• After the recommended year wait, it allows pregnancy by enabling the stomach size aperture to accommodate the increased nutritional requirements

It is Reversible

• It can be removed at any time
• The stomach and the rest of the anatomy usually returns to its original shape and functions
