Lap Band California

Are you searching for a minimally invasive procedure that is effective in treating obesity? The Lap Band surgical procedure may be right for you. Dr. Robert McKeen MD is located at South Bay Bariatrics in California and has completed over 4000 bariatric procedures.

Lap Band is a surgical procedure designed for weight loss. It is a form of restrictive weight loss surgery that works by imposing an inflatable silicone device around the upper stomach. This creates a smaller sack in the upper stomach. Food first enters the smaller sack and fills up quickly before slowly filtering down to the lower sack. This sends a message to the brain that the body is full. Patients eat less because they get full faster, leading to weight loss. It is a minimally invasive procedure that has helped many get rid of obesity and the problems that arise from it. The Lap Band procedure not only corrects obesity, but helps conditions that arise from obesity like heart problems, respiratory problems, and corroded arteries.

Dr. McKeen also treats:
- Hypertension
- Degenerative Joint Disease
- GERD
- Diabetes
- Urinary Stress Incontinence
- Sleep Apnea
- Depression
- Arthritis
- Hypercholesterolemia
- Back Pain
