How It Works

Diets don’t work. You have proven that time and again.

Diets are based on a simple formula – eat less and you lose weight, but when you get off the diet, more often than not, you regain the weight and even more. That is because the body is designed to avoid starvation, and every diet you go on your body believes you are starving.

The laparoscopic adjustable band reverses this trend. It fools a very primitive part of your brain, the hypothalmus, into thinking that you have had more food than you had. So no metabolic slow down, and it allows your storage to be used as fuel (accelerates fat loss but not at the expense of your muscle mass).
