Weight Loss Surgery
Bariatric weight loss surgery is a proven method for the long term treatment of obesity and weight related health conditions. While diets and exercise are the most common method of weight loss, they simply do not work for obese patients. Patients with a BMI over 30 tend to regain their weight within a few years of dieting. Weight loss surgery is now recognized as the most effective treatment for obesity.

Weight Loss With LAP-BAND
DayOne Health specializes in minimally invasive weight loss procedures. At our weight loss surgery clinic in downtown Chicago, we exclusively perform gastric banding surgery (lap-band Surgery), which is considered to be the safest surgery for weight loss. Gastric band surgery for weight loss is adjustable, reversible and does not require cutting, stapling of the stomach tissue or removal of the intestine. The lap-band is as effective as gastric bypass surgery after three years, and can be constantly adjusted throughout a patient’s lifetime so they can better maintain their weight for the long term. Learn more about lap-band procedure at our Chicago facility.
