If you
have a serious weight problem and want to improve your health and quality
of life, lap band surgery may be your answer.
This innovative surgery
for weight reduction is performed by independent surgeons on the medical
staff at
Port
Huron Hospital.
Referred to as lap band surgery, the Lap Band Adjustable Gastric Banding
System is a minimally invasive approach to obesity surgery.
During the laparoscopic
surgical procedure an adjustable silicone band is placed around the upper
part of the stomach to create a small gastric pouch. This limits food
consumption and creates an earlier feeling of fullness. The band is
inflatable and connected to an access port placed close to the skin that
allows surgeons to adjust the system to meet individual patient needs (Click here to download animations of the procedure).
You must register in
advance for information sessions by contacting HealthAccess.
For information about the procedure, see the "common questions"
page or call HealthAccess at 1.800.228.1484 or
email them
and they will send you an information kit. Please include your mailing
address when emailing. back to top
