The LapBand

If you've ever been more than 100lbs overweight, you know what desperation feels like. You've probably tried every diet you could ever think of, with minimal successs. At such a high weight, often times it can be difficult to acheive results withought medical intervention and sometimes it is just necessary to one's health to get the weight off as soon as possible. You hear about people having gastric bypass all the time, as well as the dangers and side effects of the invasive surgery, one side effect being death. Now there is a new weightloss surgery called the LapBand procedure. During this procedure a surgeon inserts an inflatable adjustable gastric band through small incisions, placing the band around the upper area of your stomach, creating a pouch. This small pouch is your new stomache. This procedure requires no stapling, rerouting of stomach or intestines and there is no cutting involved. It is a much safer procedure than most surgeries. Journeylite is a center that specializes in the lapband procedure. For information on Tampa lapband surgery, please check out www.journeylite.com. They are experts at Journeylite.
