What it is
A gastric band (Lap-Band) is an inflatable ring placed around the top of the stomach through small cuts, creating a small pouch so that a person feels full sooner. It is a weight-loss operation that is now done far less often than the sleeve or bypass.
What the price covers
The facility price usually covers the operating room and recovery and may not include the hospital stay. The surgeon, anesthesia, pre-surgery tests and follow-up visits are usually billed separately. Band adjustments (fills) after surgery are separate visits.
