The Advanced Surgical Institute, one of Southern California’s most well-known and respected health care facilities, is now adding gastric band conversions to its service offering for patients experiencing issues with other weight loss procedures or who simply are not getting the weight loss results expected. Physicians at the Institute report consulting with a greater number of patients about the options available, including band repositioning or complete replacement.

“We’re seeing more and more patients come in complaining about symptoms related to gastric band procedures,” Dr. Mazin Al-Hakeem. “On the other hand, some patients come in just complaining that they still aren’t losing weight, which can indeed happen with various surgical weight loss procedures, including the gastric band. Quite often the right approach is a conversion to sleeve gastrectomy, but we’re committed to looking at every option available to help the patient.”
