The band is adjustable (it is usually not filled until six weeks after surgery). The patient needs to be fully prepared for the reduction of food intake and educated about choices needed to achieve an adequate dietary intake. The patient needs to work with the procedure
Weight loss, in the perspective of medicine, health, or physical fitness, is a decrease of the total body mass, due to a mean loss of fluid, body fat or adipose tissue and/or lean mass, namely bones mineral deposits, muscle, tendon, and other connective tissue.

The Lap-Band enables the surgeon to adjust the tightness of the band around the stomach periodically. Saline water is injected into the band by the surgeon and gives you the feeling of being full. However, the band doesn’t just take care of the whole problem for someone. The person has to exercise regularly and change the way they eat. The Lap-Band is only works in aiding
treatment for weight loss and reduce obesity. There are many types of bariatric surgeries. The vertical banded gastroplasty, laparoscopic adjustable gastric band and sleeve gastrectomy are known as limited procedures because they have the ability to interfere with the volume capacity of the proximal stomach. The biliopancreatic diversion and the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass have an abnormality in absorption as they interfere with normal digestive and absorption of food nutrients. 2. Differentiate between
