The lap band is a good alternative to gastric for those who are very obese. The lap band is placed around the stomach so there is only a small Golf ball size pouch. The internal size of you is still the same as you lose weight. The fat sits on top of the muscle under the skin. So no it should not come loose. However there can be some complications just as anything else. While you are on the lap band you have to take vitamin b shot and iron and keep up on other vitamins and minerals. When using lap band you must also be careful the stomach is shrunk to a 1oz. size and many people can either get malnourished or they stretch the stomach.

If the stomach is stretched from eating to much then you have defeated the purpose of the band therefore wasted your time and money. So be careful and make sure you know what to do and what is required of you before getting lapband.
