There really isn't a lap band surgery "diet" per se. What there is is a change in eating habits that is necessary before the diet in order to prepare for surgery and then a gradual change after surgery from a mainly liquid to soft food diet to one that reflects "normal" foods. The diet can be quite healthy if you make good choices for balanced nutrition. Conversely, it is not healthy if you do not make wise choices.
The lap band procedure is the safest of the weight loss surgeries, but it does have known side effects, and all surgery is risky. It is safest and most effective when the patient adheres to the prescribed diet.

Lap bands are often used as a last resort for weight loss and if you eat a lot of greasy foods, salty snacks and high-sugar, high-fat meals, you may wind up paying for it with your health. Sticking to your lap band diet is very important.

The Lap Band diet is much more than just a "diet." It is a surgery performed for those who are obese and have tried everything to lose their excess weight only for the weight to stay. The "lap band" itself is a flexible band that can be made smaller or bigger. It is positioned at the upper part of the stomach and made to only hold a very small amount of food. In most cases, the doctor will make the stomach "pocket" just big enough to take in just a few ounces of food. This is where the actual diet comes in. You would be eating about six times a day, but in very small portions. You could shed as much as 60 pounds in the first few months with this surgery/diet.
The lap band is the most cost effective weight loss diet because it works and you don't have to suffer with the constant ache of hunger since the lap band does all of the hard work for you and yet it works incredibly!
This will completely depend upon the type of plan that you have. If it is medically necessary, most of them will cover it.
If the lap band breaks the only option is to have surgery.
