When considering bariatric surgeons, it's important to research bariatric treatment centers due to different procedures that each practice. Two popular methods, Gastric Bypass operations and Biliopancreatric Diversions (BPD), help many people achieve their ideal weight goals, but can often be accompanied by risks and complications.
Realizing there is an alternative that's just as effective, Dr. David Mumford and Dr. Chris Cobourn perform bariatric surgery/laparoscopic (LAP-BANDŽ System) surgeries at the state-of-the-art Surgical Weight Loss Centre in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada (Near Toronto).
Our bariatric surgery helps patients lose 60-80 % of their excess weight. How? By creating a small upper stomach with the adjustable band, patients lose an average of 0.5 to 0.9 kilos a week.
Compared with other forms of bariatric surgery, such as Gastric Bypass, the surgery at The Surgical Weight Loss Centre is:
- Safe: only minimally invasive, with fewer surgical complications
- Proven: more than 250,000 LAP-BANDŽ Adjustable Gastric Band weight loss surgery procedures have been done globally
- Convenient: reduced recovery times
- Long Lasting: bariatric physician & clinical nurse post care program helps with permanent weight loss
Numerous academic publications, including up to 12 years of data, attests to the medical validity of this surgery. Since we're bariatric LAP-BANDŽ System specialists who use the only gastric band approved by the F.D.A., patients can trust our procedure meets safe guidelines.
