Lap Band Demand Grows in U.S.

Despite the challenges, obesity data in the U.S. assisted in creating demand for the Lap Band system here in the states.

In July 1994, the Lap Band System became an option on the market outside the U.S. to be administered by trained surgeons worldwide. After the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) established U.S.-based clinical trials in 1995 (The FDA regulations require clinical trials in approved centers before an implantable device, such as the Lap Band System, can be used across the U.S. in a surgical procedure), they gave the approval to the Lap Band System for general use in June 2001.

Recent data shows that more than 350,000 Lap Band System devices have been distributed worldwide to allow thousands of patients to drop and control their weight, decrease their health risks, and live more enjoyable and fit lives.
