The Lap Band Surgical Procedure  

       
     

The patient is first placed under general anesthesia. The procedure is performed laparoscopically. Five small incisions are made in the region of the upper abdomen and special instruments are inserted in order to perform the procedure and magnify the internal view of the doctor's movements.
