The Lap Band Center is Now Offering a Complimentary Consultation for First Time Patients
Los Angeles, California (PRWEB) July 23, 2013 -- The Lap Band Center is now offering interested patients a complimentary consultation on lap band surgery with one of their distinguished doctors.
Dr. Naim, head of The Lap Band Center, explains that in order for patients to fully understand the benefits of this revolutionary form of weight loss, it is best to speak to an expert about it. Armed with the proper knowledge on the various pros and cons of lap band surgery, interested patients will be able to make an informed decision on whether they should go ahead with surgery.
To simplify things, Dr. Naim has agreed to share some basic information on lap band surgery, also known as bariatric surgery with the public. This is to help patients decide if they should even take the initial first step to make an appointment with The Lap Band Center to find out more.
1. An Introduction to Lap Band Surgery
The first thing people should know is what exactly lap band surgery is. As the only FDA approved form of weight loss surgery, lap band surgery is when the doctor makes a small incision and inserts a band, also known as the lap band, around the top portion of the patient’s stomach, creating a small pouch. Serving as a much smaller version of the patient’s stomach, this small pouch fills up quickly every time the patient eats, ensuring that the patient feels full much faster, and hence, eats less. Guaranteed weight loss will then occur over time. In layman’s terms, it almost seems like the patient is going on a diet without the unwanted and unpleasant effects of feeling hungry all the time.
2. The Recovery Period
Like all other forms of surgery, the patient will be under anesthesia throughout the duration of the operation. Although there are risks involved, the patient should note that the surgery is done using a key-hole method, meaning that only a tiny incision is made. This is good as recovery time is significantly lessened and scarring is minimal. Additionally, patients can opt to remove the lap band once they have lost the desired amount of weight. Dr. Naim will be more than happy to explain the aforementioned methods in detail and patients are urged to ask as many questions as they need to.
3. Guaranteed Weight Loss
There is no denying that patients of The Lap Band Center who have undergone bariatric surgery have reported significant weight loss. Many patients continue to lose weight months after the surgery and have testified that this method of weight loss is truly revolutionary as the results are quick and guaranteed. Dr. Naim recommends all his patients to make some lifestyle changes post-surgery to ensure that the weight they lose is kept off, especially after they make the decision to remove the lap band. Some basic steps that can be taken are to exercise regularly and to make healthy eating choices. Crash dieting is unnecessary, and the best thing to keep in mind is to eat in moderation. When it comes to exercise, Dr. Naim recommends light cardiovascular exercise like swimming and dancing. Pilates and yoga are also good additions to one’s fitness regime as they are excellent toning and strengthening forms of exercise.
