The Lap-Band Surgery is a minimally invasive laparoscopic medical method to get rid of chronic obesity. It involves surgically implanting a device inside the body. The device consists of a hollow silicone band, tubing, and an access port. This procedure takes from 20 to 30 minutes in the operating room and is considered one of the least invasive of the bariatric procedures performed in Mexico.
Lap Band Surgery: Lap Band Surgery is very effective:
- If a person is chronically obese for last more than five years.
- If the obesity is severe
- Non-surgical weight loss methods did not work
- Traditional ways and lifestyle changes did not yield any good results
A person who is willing to undergo the surgery must have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of at least 35, or a BMI of at least 30 with one or more unhealthy physical conditions, or at least 100 pounds over his / her estimated ideal weight.

Lap Band Surgery in Cancun and in Tijuana, Mexico: How does it work?
During lap band surgery or gastric banding, a band is placed around the upper part of the stomach. This separation physically reduces the size of the stomach to hold very small quantity of food.
The restricted opening between the stomach pouch and the rest of the stomach controls the speed of food that passes from the pouch. This minimizes the amount of food that can be eaten at a time; and also takes more time to digest whatever food you have eaten.
This surgery also gives the option to increase or decrease the pouch size as per your need by inflating or deflating the hollow lap-band; thereby controlling the opening and the speed of food passage.
The passage can be made wider by deflating the lap band. This causes the food to pass more quickly. This adjustment is made possible by adding or removing the fluid inside the hollow lap band through a small button-like part called access port that is placed under the skin in a muscle in the chest wall. This access port is connected to the lap-band by tubing.
