What to expect during lap band removal surgery?
During a gastric banding removal surgery in Orlando, Dr. Beltre will make a small incision in your abdomen to remove the lap band and its associated port and tubing. The procedure is typically performed laparoscopically (also known as keyhole surgery), resulting in minimal scarring and a relatively quick recovery. If you are weighing your options, our gastric band revision cost page sets out pricing for band removal and for revision to sleeve, bypass, or SADI-S.
