Gastric Banding Surgery or Lapband Surgery Changes People's Lives

As with all weight-loss surgery, LAPBAND surgery is a change in someone's life. That's why The Bariatric Group, a Monterey, Mexico-based medical group, practices a multi-disciplinary approach to its lapband surgery. This approach starts with a patient analysis by our full-time Bariatric Surgery Team, which will use their training, skills and experience when they perform your lap-Band surgery and change your life.

Dr. Arturo Rodriguez, a graduate of the University of Monterrey, heads this team. He became chief of surgery at the Navy Medical Center and now shares his experience in Laparoscopic Adjustable Silicone Gastric Banding-LAPBAND surgery-with medical surgeons.

Following the Gastric Banding Surgery, Dr. Rodriguez and his team continue their counseling to help patients maintain a permanent sustained Weight Loss and that’s the main purpose of this forum.

The team teaches patients how to adjust their lifestyles. Patients need to change their diet and eating habits first. Then they need to learn how to properly get back into physical activity and begin a proper exercise routine. The forum is made to let people that already have the Lapband Surgery to learn from others who are in different stages in their Weight Loss. Finally, the Bariatric Team stays with the patient for long-term care and suggests support groups with fellow Lap Band Surgery patients
