About the LAP-BAND AP^® System

The LAP-BAND AP^® System is an adjustable gastric band placed around the stomach and filled with saline, reducing food intake by forming a small gastric pouch and stoma. The band is placed using a laparoscopic procedure, designed to minimize the potential for complications. The procedure is minimally invasive with no stapling or dividing of native tissue.
