Weight-loss varies from patient to patient, and the amount of weight you lose depends on several factors. You will need to be committed to your new lifestyle and eating habits. Obesity surgery is not a miracle cure, and the pounds will not come off by themselves. The LAP-BAND® Adjustable Gastric Band is a valuable tool to support you in achieving lasting results by limiting food intake, reducing appetite and slowing down digestion. |

It is very important to work with The Advanced Bariatric Institute to set achievable weight-loss goals from the beginning. A weight loss of 1 to 3 pounds a week in the first year after the operation is possible. |

On average, people lose approximately 70% of their excess weight after one year following a gastric bypass. Remember that you should lose weight gradually. Losing weight too quickly creates a health risk and can lead to a number of problems. The main goal is to have weight loss that prevents, improves, or resolves health problems connected with being seriously over weight. |
