In general, Lap Band is a reversible procedure in which a surgeon implants a band around the stomach to create a smaller area for digestion. This helps patients feel full faster, so they eat less. Gastric sleeve is a very similar procedure, except it permanently removes part of the stomach.

Sometimes, patients undergo the Lap Band procedure but do not lose all the pounds they need to lose. Ever body is different, which is why Dr. Feiz offers sleeve gastrectomy after Lap Band. Patients often find greater satisfaction with the gastric sleeve procedure, and can keep weight off for years.
