If you have tried for years to lose stubborn pounds to no avail, then Easy Lap Band surgery may be the solution you are looking for. This surgical weight loss intervention is not for someone looking to lose a couple of pounds. It is strictly for those who are severely obese. Generally patients who undergo Easy Lap Band surgery have a BMI of about 40, but it can be slightly less than that. Individuals with serious health problems related to their obesity may still qualify as a candidate for the Easy Lap Band procedure. Common obesity-related health issues are diabetes, cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, sleep apnea and others.

The advantage of Easy Lap Band over other surgeries, such as gastric bypass, is that it is not permanent. The procedure can be reversed if needed, whereas with gastric bypass, your stomach is cut, stapled and your intestines rerouted. The Easy Lap Band slips around the top of the stomach, creating a small stomach pouch. It fills up quickly so you feel full and satisfied with a lot less food.

Your doctor can adjust the tightness of the band after your Easy Lap Band procedure is done. It doesn't require more surgery, just a simple injection of saline through the band's access port. Most health insurance providers will cover the cost of Easy Lap Band surgery, as long as the doctor can show that it is medically necessary.
