Consider Lap Band Surgery When Diet and Exercise Have Failed
Are you seriously overweight or obese? For people who need to lose weight, diet and exercise should be the first method they try. But if diet and exercise have failed to help a person reach a healthy body weight, or at least a BMI or body mass index below 40, their doctor may recommend having lap band surgery. During lap band surgery, a patient's stomach is actually reduced in size with a silicone lap band. As a result, the patient eats fewer calories throughout the day and loses weight with ease.
