| Patients who are obese, with a BMI of over 30 may be eligible for the LAP-BAND, although insurance will probably not pay for it. Why? Because being severely overweight can have a profound effect on your life. Because the LAP-BAND is so much safer than other operations, this may be the most effective manner to lose weight.
The LAP-BAND is not another gimmick, it is the start of a journey. It allows you to feel full with less food, and it becomes important to make healthy choices. We have the most comprehensive program for after-care in Arizona. We know what it takes to get our patients to their goal and to sustain it. How do we provide support? Through our support groups, workbooks, internet, books, and on-line. More than just an operation -- it is a comprehensive program to help you use your LAP-BAND.
