Lap Band Surgery Tour
Day Two - The Surgery
Following admission to our surgery center, you will be taken to your private suite where you will be prepared for Lap Band surgery.
You will meet with our Anesthesiologist and scrub nurse. An evaluation will be performed by our Anesthesiologist along
with a respiratory function test.
You will then meet again with Dr. Ariel Ortiz and Dr. Martinez where they will answer any last minute
questions you and your companions may have.
The procedure is performed using the laparoscopic approach and surgery time can vary for each individual. Family members
can expect a wait of one to two hours. After your surgery is completed, your family will be advised of your status by our
lead surgeon.
Recovery varies with each patient. Most patients are up and walking within a few hours of the surgery and experience only
mild discomfort. Pain medications are provided, as needed which assists in early mobilization.
