Lap-Band System
The Lap-Band System (INAMED Health, Santa Barbara, CA) is the safest, least invasive and only adjustable surgical treatment for morbid obesity in the United States. It induces weight loss by reducing the capacity of the stomach, thereby restricting the amount of food that can be consumed at one time.
The effectiveness of the LAP-BAND System depends on the success of the surgical procedure and the ability of the patient to change his or her diet and
eating behavior. The following resources will help you learn more about the Lap-Band System offered at UT Medical Center in Knoxville.
