Reach out to those who can help you on your journey.

As you get ready for your LAP-BAND^® System surgery, support from your friends, family and healthcare team will make things much easier for you. Now that you’re starting a new, healthier lifestyle, it’s important to reach out to caring people in your life for help and encouragement. Plus, you can share your weight loss success together.

Let your loved ones help

Getting your family and friends involved will help ensure your success, so it’s important to guide them to understand the LAP-BAND^® System process. Bring a loved one to a surgeon appointment or a LAP-BAND^® System seminar, or show them this website. The more they know, the more supportive they can be.

You’ve got an entire team

There are people in your surgeon’s office who can offer valuable support, too. In addition to your healthcare team, a LAP-BAND^® System support group organized by your surgeon can help you stay positive, focused and motivated. These are people who are making, or have successfully completed, the same transformative journey that you’re beginning. Their experiences can inform and inspire you.

Support comes from within, too

Don’t forget another important person you can look to for support: you. The exclusive online tools of My LAP-BAND^® Journey give you a personalized way to track your successes on your way to achieving your weight loss goals.

Celebrate every success

And speaking of goals, remember to measure your success in more than just lost pounds: shopping for new clothes in your new size. Feeling healthier. Enjoying exercising. Whatever your personal milestones, make sure you and your loved ones celebrate all of them as you progress on your LAP-BAND^® journey.
