How much weight can I lose with laparoscopic banding?
A Iot really depends on whom you speak to. If you speak to the surgeons, they will always claim that you will lose 50-100 pounds in 3-6 months-that is total BS. If you speak to the patients who have undergone the procedure, you will get the real answer. On average, expect to lose 1-2 pounds/month for the first few months. However, many do not lose any weight. The weight loss is gradual and not immediate. Most of the weight loss occurs over the first 2-4 months and then tapers over the next 8 months. If you have not lost any weight over 6 months, then it is unlikely you will lose any.
There is no way of predicting who will respond to laparoscopic banding surgery for weight loss. The only way to find out is to fork out $15,000-$20,000 and find out. There are no refunds in medicine.
