	Lap-Band AP System® The LAP-BAND System is a prosthetic device made out of plastic. It was FDA approved for the treatment of weight loss in the middle of 2001 after being studied in the United States. The Europeans and Australians have had experience using the LAP-BAND System for over five years. The LAP-BAND System is an adjustable ring that is placed over the upper stomach to create a small pouch. Read more about the LAP-BAND System>>
	Realize Band® Similar to the Lap-Band, surgeons create small incisions in the abdomen to insert surgical instruments and a camera (laparoscope). The band is wrapped around the stomach and tightened to create two chambers – a small upper stomach with a narrow opening to a lower stomach. Once the band is in place, surgeons attach the REALIZE Injection Port to the abdominal wall underneath the skin. Read more about the Realize Band>>
	Gastric Bypass In recent years, better clinical understanding of procedures combining restrictive and malabsorptive approaches has increased the choices of effective weight loss surgery for thousands of patients. By adding malabsorption, food is delayed in mixing with bile and pancreatic juices that aid in the absorption of nutrients. Read more about Gastric Bypass>>
	Gastric Sleeve This procedure generates weight loss solely through gastric restriction (reduced stomach volume) and earlier satiety (feeling full with smaller amounts of food). The stomach is made smaller by dividing it vertically and removing approximately 80%. The procedure is not reversible. Read more about Sleeve Gastrectomy>>

	Traditional Laparoscopic Revision At The N.E.W. Program, we offer corrective surgery to those patients who have had prior bariatric surgery with less than a satisfactory result. Often, we are able to offer an option between natural orifice surgery and laparoscopic corrective surgery, however, we will generally recommend a specific procedure depending on which method will be the safest and most effective.
