The LAP-BAND is an outpatient treatment, with a recovery time of about one week. The flexible band is positioned around the top section of the stomach restricting the amount of food that will travel through it, helping the individual in attaining weight loss and keeping it off. The LAP-BAND treatment does not require any sort of re-routing of the anatomy, or any type of stapling.
