How was Weight Loss Handled?

Lap band surgery candidates also are generally thought of as being twice their ideal weight, have been seriously overweight for a time of five years or longer, have made strong efforts at losing weight with only short-term success, and do not consume alcohol in excess.

It is also an important factor in looking at Lap Band Requirements that an individual does not have any other disease that may have resulted in their obesity.

Lap Band Candidates also must be willing to undertake substantial changes in their eating habits and lifestyle.

While eligibility for the Lap Band procedure is not limited to the above-mentioned criteria, a lap band specialist can sit down with a prospective patient and see if they do indeed meet the necessary Lap Band Requirements.
