Intro
The history of weight-loss surgery is one of continuing
evolution in search of safer procedures and of more
effective permanent weight-loss results. I believe
that adjustable gastric banding is by a wide margin
the safest and most effective way to achieve permanent
weight-loss for the severely obese. This book was
written to fill a need for information on this surgery
and attendant lifestyle changes, primarily for three
groups:
• Obese and overweight people considering weight-loss
surgery.
• Friends and relatives of the above group.
• Healthcare professionals who need to enhance their
knowledge of the LAP-BAND procedures, its advantages
and disadvantages compared to other procedures, and
also to understand the aftercare that is involved. |
