The band is adjusted by injecting or removing saline solution through a small device placed under the skin during surgery. This adjusts the size of the opening between the two parts of the stomach, controlling the rate at which food leaves the upper pouch.
After surgery, you’ll need to follow a phased diet that starts with liquids, then progresses to pureed foods, soft foods, and eventually regular foods. Overeating can cause discomfort or vomiting, so it’s important to eat small, balanced meals and chew thoroughly.
Weight loss can vary widely between individuals, but on average, patients might lose around 40-50% of their excess weight in the first year following surgery. Long-term success depends largely on lifestyle changes and regular follow-ups with your bariatric team.
Many insurance plans cover Lap Band surgery if it’s considered medically necessary, but coverage can vary. Our team can help you understand your insurance benefits and any potential out-of-pocket costs.
If you don’t achieve the expected weight loss after Lap Band surgery, it’s important to discuss this with your medical team. They may recommend adjustments to your diet, exercise, and lifestyle habits. In some cases, an adjustment to the band or a different weight loss procedure may be considered.
Weight loss surgery, also known as bariatric surgery, refers to various surgical procedures that help individuals with obesity lose weight. It’s generally considered when diet and exercise have not worked or when serious health problems persist or could worsen due to obesity.
Candidates for weight loss surgery usually have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 40 or more, or a BMI of 35 or more with obesity-related health issues such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or sleep apnea. Each patient’s candidacy is individually evaluated based on these factors and their overall health condition.
At CER Bariatrics, we offer various types of weight loss surgeries such as Gastric Bypass, Sleeve Gastrectomy, and Adjustable Gastric Banding. Each procedure has different benefits and risks, which our doctors will discuss with you to determine the best choice.
As with any major surgery, weight loss surgeries carry risks including infection, bleeding, and complications from anesthesia. Specific procedures may also present unique risks, such as nutrient deficiencies or ‘dumping syndrome’ after gastric bypass. It’s crucial to discuss these risks and potential complications with your doctor.
The recovery period varies depending on the type of surgery and the individual patient’s health. Typically, patients can return to normal activities within 3-6 weeks post-surgery. Our team provides personalized recovery plans for each patient to ensure a smooth recovery.
Yes, dietary changes are crucial to achieve and maintain weight loss after bariatric surgery. Shortly after surgery, you will start with a liquid diet, followed by soft foods, and gradually transition to regular foods. Our nutritionists will provide detailed dietary guidelines and support you throughout this process.
Bariatric surgery can significantly improve or even resolve type 2 diabetes in many patients, but it’s not a guaranteed cure. The impact of surgery on diabetes depends on several factors, including the severity of diabetes and the patient’s overall health.
The amount of weight loss varies depending on the type of surgery, your lifestyle changes, and adherence to the post-surgery diet and exercise plan. On average, patients can expect to lose 50-70% of their excess weight within 1-2 years after surgery.
Coverage for weight loss surgery depends on your specific insurance plan. Some insurance providers do cover bariatric surgery if it’s deemed medically necessary. Our staff will assist you in understanding your insurance coverage and the potential out-of-pocket costs.
At CER Bariatrics, we provide comprehensive post-operative support. This includes dietary counseling, exercise guidance, regular medical check-ups, and emotional support. We are committed to helping you achieve long-term success in your weight loss journey.
Revision bariatric surgery is a secondary procedure performed after the initial weight loss surgery. It may be done to correct complications from the original surgery or to improve weight loss results if the initial surgery did not achieve the desired outcomes.
Candidates for revision surgery typically are those who have not achieved significant weight loss following their initial procedure, those who have regained substantial weight, or those experiencing complications or health issues from the original surgery.
Like all surgeries, revision surgery carries risks such as infection, bleeding, and reactions to anesthesia. It also tends to be more complex and can have higher risk compared to the initial bariatric surgery due to factors such as scar tissue and changes in anatomy.
Weight loss after revision surgery varies from person to person and depends on the type of procedure, the patient’s commitment to diet and exercise, and other individual factors. Your doctor will discuss realistic expectations with you before the surgery.
Insurance coverage for revision surgery varies by provider and plan. Some insurance companies will cover these procedures if they are deemed medically necessary. Our team can assist you in understanding your insurance coverage and potential financing options.
The type of revision surgery depends on the original procedure and the reason for revision. Common types include converting a gastric band to a gastric bypass or sleeve, revising a gastric bypass, or adjusting a gastric band.
Recovery from revision surgery is similar to recovery from initial bariatric surgery. You will likely start with a liquid diet and slowly progress to solid foods. Regular follow-up appointments will be necessary to monitor your recovery and progress.
Following your medical team’s advice regarding diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes is key to maintaining your weight loss and preventing complications. Regular follow-ups and monitoring can also help identify and manage potential issues early.
Revision surgery can be more complex due to scar tissue, changes to the digestive tract, and other factors related to the initial surgery. However, our experienced surgeons are well-trained to handle these complexities.
Yes, in many cases, revision surgery can be performed laparoscopically, which often means a faster recovery and less post-operative pain. The feasibility of a laparoscopic approach will depend on your specific situation and the surgeon’s evaluation.
Lap Band surgery, or laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding, is a type of weight loss surgery that involves placing an adjustable silicone band around the upper part of the stomach to create a small pouch, which limits food intake and promotes a feeling of fullness after eating small amounts.
Benefits of Lap Band surgery can include significant weight loss, improvement or resolution of obesity-related health conditions, and an enhanced quality of life. The band is adjustable and reversible, offering flexibility not present in some other weight loss procedures.
Complications can include band slippage or erosion, stomach irritation, acid reflux, and poor nutrition. As with all surgical procedures, there are also risks of infection, bleeding, and reactions to anesthesia.
Most patients can return to work and resume normal activities within 1 to 2 weeks following Lap Band surgery. However, recovery times can vary based on individual health factors and the nature of the patient’s work.
