Lap Band Adjustment Principles
- The level of adjustment should be sufficient to achieve
a prolonged sensation of safety in the patient.
- Weight loss should be steady and progressive, with the
early rate of weight loss ideally being >0.5 Kg but < 1
Kg/week.
- Adjustment should induce no restrictive symptoms, ie,
heartburn, vomiting, discomfort, excessive difficulty with
eating a normal range of food.
- Loss of excess weight should be planned to occur gently
over a period of 18 months to 3 years, depending on initial
weight.
Schedule of Adjustments
- At 6-8 weeks - initial adjustment.
- Review every 4-6 weeks. Assess weight and clinical
status.
- The fills will be scheduled according to your needs.
