A lap band procedure, where an inflatable band is surgically implanted at the top of the stomach which can be filled with water to limit the amount of food the stomach can hold, is less invasive than a gastric bypass, but can be just as successful for those who are morbidly obese. In fact, statistics show the weight stays off longer for those with this procedure versus gastric bypass.
