Calculating your BMI
The easiest way to determine if you’re a candidate is to figure out your Body Mass Index (BMI). It is a simple math calculation that determines your weight-to-height ratio. Use our calculator or do it yourself:
BMI = Your weight (in pounds) x 704.5 / your height (in inches)²

What your BMI Tells You at a Glance
Your BMI not only tells you if you’re a candidate for Lap Band, but also indicates the extent of other health risk factors to be aware of, such as type-2 diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease.

You Have Options
The Lap Band procedure may be covered by your health insurance policy – like 68% of our patients. Let us help you verify your insurance and find out for sure. One of our True Results consultants will work with you to seek approval.

If your insurance doesn’t cover it, you have the option to pay for the procedure outright, or request special financing options with payments as little as $9 per day. True Results has teamed up with CareCredit to offer you several payment plans to cover the cost of the procedure. As a self-pay patient, you can begin the procedure as soon as you want – without having to wait for insurance approval or protocol.

Before the Lap Band Procedure

• A free Educational Seminar: Money should never stand in the way of your health and happiness. That's why True Results doesn't charge you a cent to attend our True Results Lap Band educational Seminar. Come meet an experienced Lap Band doctor, a True Results patient, and the road to a new you.
• A Diagnostic Examination: One of our highly-trained staff members will review your medical records and perform various pre-operative medical tests to ensure the procedure is safe for you.
• Insurance/financing verification: We work with you to submit medical information to your insurance carrier and doctor for review. If your insurance company does not cover the Lap Band procedure, or if you have chosen to pursue financing options, you can apply through one of our financing institutions at this time.
• A weight-loss program: Insurance companies often require the completion of a 3-12 month weight-loss program before approving bariatric (weight-loss) procedures. Our aftercare program satisfies insurance carrier requirements and provides you with a proven, medically sound program that promotes significant, lasting weight loss for life.

The Lap Band Procedure

• Using a laparoscope (a small camera), the doctor inserts an adjustable, silicone gastric band around the top of the stomach, reducing the volume of food the stomach will hold. Typically, the surgery takes about 30-45 minutes and you can return home within 4-5 hours of having the FDA-approved LAP-Band procedure. Most people return to work within a week and resume exercising within a month to six weeks.
• Recovery includes a dietary plan (including vitamin supplements) that first consists of liquids, followed by soft foods and later on, solids. You are also given a low impact exercise program, which is key to a successful outcome.

Life after Lap Band
A normal part of post-surgery follow-up is adjusting the band to the right level of restriction to meet your individual needs. Adjustments are performed without surgery using a thin needle to inject or withdraw saline from your band via the access port. This widens or narrows the band opening to control the rate of your weight loss. Adjustments only take 10-15 minutes, with your first one typically received 4-6 weeks after surgery. The total number of adjustments you receive depends on your individual weight-loss goals, rate and results.

Feel Comfortable with True Results
After Lap Band , people feel more comfortable—in their lives, in airplanes, in clothes, in social situations. Don’t just take our word for it.
