LAP-BANDŽ Success!

By: Farid Zarif, MD(c), MPH, ND, PhD

Today, more than ever, we have access to the technology and availability of the necessary tools to assist in weight loss. From parks designed with walking and bicycle paths to hundreds of weight loss programs and a variety of weight management and improvement procedures. At the end of the day, it all comes down to feeling better, performing well, and of course, looking great!

We've all seen the commercials and ads, with a happy person holding up a super large pair of pants, indicating their past weight and their current weight loss. Although, much isn't mentioned about the complications that accompany being over weight, it still remains that being over weight can increase the risk of heart disease, diabetes mellitus II, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, and a long list of undesirable conditions. However, there is a gleaming light at the end of this bleak and dark tunnel, it's called the Lap-Band.

The LAP-BANDŽ is safer and boast a four to five day turn-around. It's laparoscopic approach to surgery, allows lower risks of infection, lower risk of surgery complications, and faster healing rate, with an average 60 minutes to complete the procedure. It's worth your time to come in for a brief presentation that includes surgical and non-surgical aspects that may be the beginning of a new and healthier lifestyle.
