A Little Bit About Lap Band Surgery
Much has been written about Lap Band Surgery lately, but some are still confused as to how it works. Basically, an inflatable silicone band is placed around your stomach by a lap band doctor and this divides your stomach into two compartments, an upper and lower compartment. The band itself is filled or drained by your doctor to increase or decrease the size of the opening between the two compartments. Now, after this surgery is done you will fill fuller even though you have eaten less because your actual stomach organ will be smaller and hold less food. This allows you to experience the feeling of being full - but lose weight because you are eating less food.
