Dr. Rachael Keilin and Dr. Ron Hekier are the sole providers of the Lap Band surgery in northeast Texas.

(PRWEB) June 13, 2005 -- Dr. Rachael Keilin and Dr. Ron Hekier have introduced same-day obesity surgery to the Northeast Texas, southwest Arkansas region. In Texarkana, Texas, the Lap Band procedure can now be performed in an outpatient setting, with the patient going home the same day as surgery.

The Lap Band is a minimally invasive procedure, performed laparoscopically with without the need to cut or staple the stomach", says Dr. Rachael Keilin. As a result this procedure is safer and has a much shorter recovery time than the gastric bypass. Many patients can return to work within one week of surgery."
Dr. Ron Hekier reports, The Lap Band surgery is the only obesity surgery that is adjustable and reversible to individualize weight loss for each patient. In several international studies, there were dramatic improvements in serious medical illnesses following weight loss associated with Lap Band surgery, including remission in type-2 diabetes, sleep apnea, lower blood pressure, and depression."

Dr. Rachael Keilin and Dr. Ron Hekier have been performing the Lap Band surgery in Texarkana since 2004. Now members of Precision Surgery, LLP, a professional limited liability partnership of professional associations, they have begun to offer the Lap Band surgery as a same day procedure.
