Lap Band & Bariatric Surgery in Tasmania

The original alternative to more invasive gastric bypass surgery - the LAP-BAND Adjustable Gastric Banding System has the experience, technology, and history of proven success to help you reach your weight loss goals for the long-term. With more than 650,000 procedures worldwide and more than 500 peer reviewed clinical papers to support its efficacy, the Lap-Band system is recognised as the gold standard for comorbidity resolution and as an effective weight loss tool.

If you are at least 15 kilograms overweight, with a BMI of at least 30 kg/m2 and one or more obesity related comorbid conditions, you should know: the LAP-BAND System may be able to help you lose weight - helping you to avoid weight-related health risks, and enjoy a more active lifestyle.

In fact, the LAP-BAND System has been proven in studies to significantly reduce weight and body mass steadily and consistently with patients maintaining their weight loss over time. Safely and effectively, the revolutionary yet simple technology behind the LAP-BAND Adjustable Gastric Banding System reduces the amount of food that your stomach can hold at one time. This helps you gradually lose weight and keep it off. So you can live a healthier life - for your children, your family, and yourself.

"LAP-BAND" is often incorrectly referred to as the generic name for any stomach banding procedure. However, "LAP-BAND" is in fact, the trademark for the original FDA/TGA approved adjustable gastric banding device manufactured and sold by Allergan, Inc.
