Lap Band Removal & Revision Los Angeles
While gastric banding (Lap-Band surgery) is a semi-permanent procedure it is not uncommon for Lap-Band patients to require removal, replacement, or repositioning of the device over time. Fortunately for those patients who want or need to have the device removed, the procedure is 100% reversible, with the stomach capable of “healing” itself and returning to its normal shape and size after a period of time. Dr. David Davtyan, at The Weight Loss Surgery Center of Los Angeles, is highly experienced in Lap-Band revision.

Bariatric Surgery Revision
Weight loss surgeries do sometimes need to be revised to remedy unwanted side effects, insufficient weight loss, and other complications.
Here at The Weight Loss Surgery Center of Los Angeles, we offer a variety of bariatric surgery revision options. Revisions can often be done laparoscopically, which means you can be back on your road to weight loss with a simple and minimally invasive revision procedure.

How Is Lap Band Removal Done?
Just as with the initial placement, the removal or repositioning of a gastric banding device can be done laparoscopically as an outpatient at The Weight Loss Surgery Center of Los Angeles. This means that the entire surgery is conducted using several small surgical instruments and a thin, lighted viewing instrument, all of which are inserted through a few small incisions in the abdomen.
