Transforming Lives at Beverly Hills Weight Loss Medical Clinic
The LAP-BAND System is an effective treatment for morbid obesity and can help you achieve lasting results by limiting food intake, reducing appetite and slowing digestion. Remember, though, pounds do not come off by themselves. It is important to understand that you play an active role in the weight-loss process and ultimate success of the procedure. LAP-BAND System patients should expect gradual weight loss, approximately 1-2 pounds per week on average over the first year. Your individual excess weight-loss results may vary.
