My LAP-BAND® Journey
Weight Loss Surgery in Los Angeles, California
When you choose LAP-BAND® surgery, you choose a system that is for the highly motivated. However, the highly motivated often have a support system in place and don’t have to go it alone. With My LAP-BAND® Journey, not only are you supported by a group, you are also taking control of your own progress. Each LAP-BAND® Journey is a personalized journey tracked both on paper and online where you can:
- Receive a reading list catered to you, subscribe to a newsletter, and share your own story
- Track important information such as milestones you’ve accomplished, the seminar you attended, the appointment with your surgeon and the date of your surgery, and more. Using checklists and reminders, you are able to track each step you make
- Track your progress as you lose weight even before your surgery. Tracking this should be one of the important motivations to keep you going
- LAP-BAND® Personalized Patient ID Card to carry with you at all times. This can be useful when eating out, traveling, visiting the doctor, and may be important in an emergency situation so others know you have a surgical implant
While you keep track of your own progress, the support system in place for you includes personalized care. The following partnerships are there to help you on your personalized LAP-BAND® Journey:
