Gastric Band Houston, Texas

You've seen what your being overweight can mean for your health, and it has left you feeling afraid of what could happen without some kind of change. It is not an uncommon feeling, and if you are an individual who suffers with obesity, the health risks become greater, perhaps calling for drastic measures like surgery. Surgery itself can be frightening but with a gastric band, the minimally invasive surgery means less pain, less recovery time and real visible results. Lap Band Center of Houston in Texas has expert surgeons to perform your gastric band surgery.

There are a number of advantages to choosing a gastric band procedure over other surgical weight loss techniques that are more drastic in the physical changes to your body. Gastric bypass surgically alters the size of the stomach as well as redirecting parts of the intestines to decrease the amount of nutrient absorption. It is a more aggressive procedure, but it is generally more expensive and requires significantly more time to heal than a gastric band. Gastric bypass can be reversed but requires more painful surgery to do so.

A gastric band, on the other hand, requires only a few small incisions. The device is wrapped around the upper portions of the stomach, thereby creating a pouch similar to that of gastric bypass but without the cutting. The gastric band is also adjustable to be able to satisfy weight loss goals for different body types. It is fully reversible.

Conditions that can occur due to long term obesity that are responsive to weight loss surgery include the following:

  • High Cholesterol
  • Hypertension
  • Sleep Apnea
  • Type 2 Diabetes
  • High Blood Pressure


The gastric band is an attractive alternative to invasive surgery for weight loss. Call the experts at Lap Band Center of Houston to discuss the different options available to you. Your health is too important to wait, so call today.
