Lap-Band Rescue: Revisit. Rethink. Revise.

Have you had a Lap-Band surgery but did not get the results you were expecting? Are you currently researching alternative weight loss surgery options? Or are you looking to avoid another surgery and instead get back on track with your tool? In his much anticipated book, Dr. Duc Vuong, the Support Surgeon, delves into these topics and explains the possible medical tests you might have to undergo, and insurance issues involved. He also discusses the different weight loss surgery alternatives for revision of your gastric band, their technical difficulties, and the pro's and con's of each surgery so you can make an informed decision. This book contains easy to understand illustrations of the different weight loss surgery revision options, like gastric band to sleeve or band to gastric bypass. It also discusses other less common options like gastric plication and duodenal switch. Dr. Vuong also addresses the future applications of the Lap-Band. Dr. Duc Vuong is an internationally renowned bariatric surgeon, who is the world's leading expert in education for the bariatric patient. His intensive educational system has garnered attention from multiple institutions and medical societies. His passion in life is to fill the shortage of educational resources between patients and weight loss surgeons. Dr. Vuong was featured in TLC's hit show, 900 Pound Man: Race Against Time, and is currently working on his own weekly television show.
