To get the best from your lap band procedure, you need to be aware of the different zones – it will help you in reaching your weight loss and health improvement goals.
Always listen to your body and maintain regular contact with us if you’re concerned, we are here to help.
The Yellow Zone
Symptoms:
If you’re experiencing above, it’s most likely that your band is too loose. Contact us quickly for an adjustment, as any delay might result in weight regain.
The Green Zone
Symptoms:
This is the optimal zone for weight loss.
The Red Zone
Symptoms:
If you experience any of these symptoms, your lap band is probably too tight. Get in touch with us for an adjustment and act quickly as vomiting might cause pouch dilatation and band slippage – which then causes snacking and weight regain. You should definitely not be vomiting after the procedure.
If you have a band and you’re not in the green zone, get in touch with us – we will adjust the band to make sure you get the most of its benefits. Your weight loss and the improvement in your health is the aim of our clinic and we’re here to support you every step of the way.
