Lap Band, or laparoscopic adjustable gastric band is a device that is implanted during bariatric surgery which seeks to restrict food intake by decreasing the size of the stomach. The device itself is a silicone prosthetic which is inflatable and placed around the upper portion of the stomach with the aid of a laparoscope. The adjustable lap band surgery option is for obese patients with a body mass index of 40 or greater, and 35-40 in severe cases.
