We all know what a rollercoaster dieting can be. You lose weight...then all of the sudden you put it all back on, plus more! Well, I was during some research into other forms of weight loss when I came across Journey Lite. Journey Lite specializes in Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding procedure that is not as drastic as the gastric bypass surgery. The lap band is designed to help you lose excess body weight while enhancing your quality of life and improving weight-related health issues.
It reduces the stomach capacity and restricts the amount of food that can be consumed enabling you to restrict the amount of food you can eat at one time.
This entire procedure is done laparoscopically too. Which means you would not have a large scar to look at the rest of your life. The surgeon will make tiny incisions and use a small camera to view the stomach. The lap band is then locked securely in a ring around the stomach creating a small stomach pouch that will limit and control the amount of food you can consume.
Because the stomach outlet is smaller, you will feel full faster and your food will move slowly through your digestive system. Thus allowing you to feel full faster while allowing you to eat less and lose weight.
I have linked the lapband words to the Journeylite site so you can check it out yourself.
