Laparoscopic gastric banding Lap-Band is a safe, effective and scientifically proven way to lose weight and keep it off long term.
The procedure is nearly always performed with keyhole surgery.
On average 55 of excess weight is lost over the first two years and this is usually maintained long-term.
Long term follow up, provided by us, is essential for successful outcome Laura Jones pictured is a qualified dietitian and can help you achieve continual weight loss and weight management to ensure your procedure has long term benefits.
Bariatric surgery can help people to lose weight and reduce obesity related diseases, by enabling people to become satisfied from smaller amounts of food.
However to achieve the best results, patients must also aim to work towards living a healthy lifestyle.
My role as a bariatric Dietitian includes providing regular follow up, support and education for patients.
In particular I help people to develop a non-dieting approach to their weight loss, which is something a lot of bariatric patients have not achieved before.
It is also essential that a patient s diet is assessed for nutritional adequacy to prevent nutritional deficiencies and related ill health.
I also offer suggestions for vitamin supplementation, quick healthy meal ideas, meal planning and helping patients to understand food labels.
Laura Jones Dietitians don t just help people with improving their nutritional knowledge they also focus on eating behavior, behavioral change, motivation and more importantly adjusting diet for other health conditions that a patient may have.
Only an accredited practicing dietitian can give advice on the nutritional management of chronic diseases such as diabetes or cardiovascular disease.
In addition, research has shown that regular follow up with your bariatric team, including the dietitian, can lead to better health and weight loss outcomes in patients.
In summary, the dietitian can offer patients with plenty of support, motivation and guidance to help them achieve the best possible health and weight loss outcomes after bariatric surgery.
