Our staff works closely with patients to help them achieve their goals.

Many insurance plans offer benefits for placement of the LAP-BAND® and our staff can help you determine if your coverage includes this benefit. We also advise you of the criteria that are required by your insurance plan in order to become approved for the procedure. This criteria may include supervised diets, additional testing, psychology and dietician consultations.

Our office will work with you to obtain medical records and any additional information requested from your insurance carrier to submit for consideration of medical necessity.

Following surgery, our office continues to provide care through a supportive and caring environment.

Adjustments to the band are generally scheduled in an office setting and need for adjustments are determined during follow up visits with Dr. Ginsburg.

Once you reach your goal weight, your adjustments may become less frequent.
