Lap Band

We've all heard the horror stories. People who've had gastric bypass surgery will tell you how difficult it is immediately after the surgery. The wife of my former co-worker had this procedure done in 2005. I didn't know until I start noticing a big drop in her weight, and when I commented about how good she looks, she told me about her procedure. She said she was uncomfortable the first few days, from nausea to fainting spells to what nots but it gradually changed as she got used to the amount of food/drink her body can take. She also said there's no turning back anymore. It's permanent.

But what if you can find a doctor who can perform a procedure that is 10 times safer than gastric bypass? Dr. Richard Collier of lap band woodlands specializes in the laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding procedure, most commonly referred to as the LAPBAND System. All surgery is performed laparoscopically on an outpatient basis, so you will have surgery in the morning and should be discharged to go home a few hours later to enjoy the comforts of your own bed that night.
