At DayOne Health, we understand your struggle with obesity and have developed an outpatient surgical weight loss program that helps you safely and effectively lose weight. The LAP-BAND© System is a safer, adjustable, reversible alternative to gastric bypass. And because it's minimally invasive, you go home the same day as surgery. Our comprehensive support program ensures that you stay healthy, lose weight and keep it off!

That is why at DayOne we have dedicated insurance specialists on staff to help you manage the insurance approval process and understand all of your available options. If you are seeking insurance coverage, we will make every effort to work with you to maximize your benefits under your existing insurance plan. Read more...
DayOne Health, located in downtown Chicago, was the first surgery center in the Midwest to perform the Lap-Band procedure on an outpatient basis. Since then, over 1,500 procedures have been successfully performed at DayOne Health with over 7,000 adjustments performed each year.
