People have LAP-BAND or REALIZE Band surgeries because there are a great number of personal and health benefits that come with losing weight.
Here are five big ones:
Diabetes - We've known for awhile that losing significant amounts of weight helps control diabetes. Recent studies have shown that it's true when you lose weight with a LAP-BAND, too.
Hypertension (High Blood Pressure) - Many people lose enough weight with a LAP-BAND device that their doctors take them off blood pressure medications.
Self-esteem - A lot of patients talk about how good they feel after the weight comes off. They often describe it as feeling like a new person.
Body aches and pains -- When you have less weight to carry, your body doesn't hurt as much.
Weight -- This is the best improvement from a LAP-BAND surgery. The band helps you lose a lot of weight, safely.
