The LAP-BAND is adjustable. If your band is too loose you will be able to eat larger meals, be searching for food, and not have adequate weight loss. If the band is too tight you might not be able to tolerate solid food, like meat, and find yourself eating soft, mushy foods -- like mashed potatoes, soups, or other high calorie items. Our program can result in a perfectly adjusted band.
Win a FREE Lap-band fill!
At LEAST once a month we have a drawing for a free fill. To be eligible for the drawing patients must attend one of the support groups Dr. Simpson has that month. Attending other activities including nutrition classes also make you eligible for the drawing. Fills are also given away at most of Dr. Simpson's special events too. Lap-band fills are not covered by insurance programs. So when Dr. Simpson gives them away, it is a considerable gift.

Why does Dr. Simpson give away FREE Laparoscopic Band fills?
...so you receive the support you need to succeed with weight loss. When you have surgery by Dr. Simpson you get support for the rest of your life. He gives away fills as an incentive to make certain you attend support group meetings. Lap-band Surgery will work for you. But if you have psychological dependence on food, you need support. Any solution can be defeated if you don't learn how to recognize and neutralize triggers that cause you to eat other than hunger. Eating the wrong foods limits weight loss and can damage your health. We have Nutrition Classes and our Nutritionist attends most support meetings.
Dr. Terry Simpson is the best support for your Lap-band surgery
...even if you had surgery elsewhere. Lots of people relocate and lose contact with their original surgeon. In that case when you need a fill you have to find a new doctor. More importantly you need to find a new support system. Even if you had your surgery elsewhere, for a one time payment of $450, you get the best support programs available anywhere. For a lifetime, you get access to our nutritionist, nutrition classes, support programs and really fun special events.
A perfectly tuned Lap-band makes your life even more beautiful!
The ability to adjust the Lap-band to tune your digestive system is what makes Lap-band Surgery the best weight loss solution. Taking the time to do it right makes living with the Lap-band much easier than any other weight loss surgery. There is a balance that can be maintained where your food is gently restricted and passes through your system without discomfort. A natural rhythm of restriction and digestion is obtained causing your system to function much like a person who never had weight control issues. Food is still fun but the ability to overeat is comfortably limited. A properly adjusted band is the key to your success.
Doctor Simpson's experience makes the difference
...when it comes to adjusting your Lap-band and balancing your system. But as important as his experience is his decision to stay connected with patients. It is Dr . Simpson that typically leads support group meetings. He personally meets with patients at every support group. At those meetings you will frequently hear a patient tell the doctor about how they feel and the doctor will arrange for them to come in for a fill. You don't have to pay him for an office visit. You can communicate with him anytime at support groups or you can contact him directly via email and frequently by phone. You get free consultations from the most experienced Lap-band doctor available.
