The Lab Band procedure is somewhat simple. It creates a small pouch at the top of the stomach called the stoma which volume wise holds a fraction of food compared to the full sized stomach. The lap band also slows the speed of the food moving from the stomach into the intestines.  The size of the stomach and the presence of the LAP band allow the eater to feel fuller faster, longer and allows them to lose over time. The LAP band has a very high success rate. Most patients achieve 60-90% of their ideal weight. Dr. Hekier’s number one concern is the health of his patients. He provides not only great medical, surgical service but also a proper follow up program that allows for you to achieve your best.
