LAP Band Surgery

The LAP Band is a type of weight loss surgery that alters the actual size of your stomach.  It is dangerous and being targeted to women.  The surgery is portrayed as being simple and having few risks, but this is not the case.  

We are aware of at least three recent death cases that have been filed.  In Neelu Pal v. New York University, a doctor here in New York gave the facts regarding the dangers of the procedure.  It was shown that the level of expertise, preparation, and care has been substandard. Women who do not fit the criteria are still receiving the surgery. 

Do not have this surgery and contact us if you have any questions.
