  • In a recent study from Basel, Switzerland the Band is not looking to good. After follow up of about 5 years, of the 380 patients, 128 (33.7%) had their bands removed. 1/3 of Band Patients had their band removed by 5 years! Yikes!! Even more bad news: The weight loss of the remaining 2/3's of patients (66.3%) with the band still in place was poor, only 1 in 4 (25%) lost even half of their excess weight.

  • What to expect from the Band? French study shows Poor Outcomes! Erosion, slippage, and esophageal dilatation are widely acknowledged as typical long-term complications of lap banding. Dr Dargent reported that Food intolerance caused 1/3 of band removals. He concluded that "Food intolerance after lap-banding is likely to represent the most common cause for band removal in the long run"
