Obesisty has become an epidemic in our society. It is the major health challenge of the 21st century. We need a solution. Diets, exercise programs, tablets and behavioural changes have not halted the problem of obesity, despite huge spending on these weight-loss methods.

The LAP-BAND is an adjustable band that is placed around the very top of the stomach by keyhole surgery. It is very safe and minimally invasive, and can be placed as an outpatient procedure. Most importantly, the LAP-BAND takes away hunger and stops you thinking about food. In this revised and updated edition of The LAP-BAND Solution, Paul O'Brien MD draws on the most up-to-date research and knowledge to tell you about: o obesity and its problems o the benefits of weight loss o your options o the LAP-BAND procedure and aftercare.
