In November, 2005 Arthur and I began performing LAP-BAND System Surgery. Since then we have treated over 200 patients with many successful results and few complications. We follow our patients closely, seeing them a 2-week intervals for the first 6 weeks after the operation, then monthly until they stabilize at their desired weight. Many more patients are being evaluated and scheduled for the procedure.
On June 27, 2007 the American College of Surgeons (ACS) accredited us as a Level 2-New accredited Adult Bar iatric Center.

The following is a brief description of the LAP-BAND® System Surgery. The LAP-BAND® System Surgery is a safe and highly effective alternative to treat morbid obesity. The LAP-BAND® System Surgery is less invasive than gastric bypass because it does not involve cutting, stapling, or intestinal rerouting. The LAP-BAND® System Surgery is adjustable, reversible, and the procedure generally only requires a one night hospital stay. The LAP-BAND® System Surgery has been used in more than 150,000 patients worldwide and was approved by the FDA in June 2001.
