Lap Bands “Result in Relatively Poor Long-Term Outcomes.”
A recent study looked at the long-term success of Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding (LAGB) commonly known as a lap band. While patients enjoyed an average “excess weight loss of 42.8% after 12 years or longer,” an alarming “39% experienced major complications.” In addition, “nearly 1 out of 3 patients experienced band erosion, and nearly 50% of the patients required removal of their bands (contributing to a reoperation rate of 60%), LAGB appears to result in relatively poor long-term outcomes.”
