Men can become obese and may consider weight loss aids or cosmetic procedures. LAP-BAND ® is an adjustable gastric band system that is suitable for patients that need to lose more 100 pounds.
The LAP-BAND ® Device for Men
The LAP-BAND ® device can be applied to men of all ages.
The ideal candidate for LAP-BAND ® is an obese patient with more than 100 pounds to lose. LAP-BAND ® does not involve stomach cutting or stapling. The device will be installed and will reduce the capacity of the stomach, so the patient will not be able to eat too much. In time, this should lead to a weight loss that is safe and more durable than other fast weight loss procedures.
In men, the results will start showing faster than in women, as men have a higher requirement of energy and a faster metabolism. LAP-BAND ® is an FDA approved device and the results appear if the patient sticks to a few dietary restrictions. Exercising can also speed up the occurrence of the results. As weight is lost, the LAP-BAND ® will be further adjusted to allow the patient to lose more weight.
