  • Hi,
    I read some article about different weight loss surgeries and especially lap band surgery. But I can't still understand why someone who did a gastric band surgery can gain weight after the surgery?

    I saw the above image, which is about the lap band surgery, but how this procedure can lose its effect after a while?
    I mean the gastric band is there, and it's not changing, moving, etc. but how someone can still eat lots of food with consideration of this band on his/her stomach?
  • Does anyone know if insurance is covering Lapband surgery yet. Last time I checked it was too new a procedure and they weren't covering it. Thanks in advance....Sis
