Outpatient Obesity Surgery now Available in Northeast Texas with the Lap Band Procedure
Beginning in June 2005 same-day surgery for obesity is now available in Texarkana, Texas. The Lap Band procedure, unlike the gastric bypass, is removable, adjustable, and can be performed in a same day setting. Dr. Rachael Keilin and Dr. Ron Hekier are the sole providers of the Lap Band surgery in northeast Texas.
(PRWEB) June 13, 2005 -- Dr. Rachael Keilin and Dr. Ron Hekier have
introduced same-day obesity surgery to the Northeast Texas, southwest Arkansas
region. In Texarkana, Texas, the Lap Band procedure can now be performed in an
outpatient setting, with the patient going home the same day as
surgery.
“The Lap Band is a minimally invasive procedure, performed
laparoscopically with without the need to cut or staple the stomach”, says Dr.
Rachael Keilin. “As a result this procedure is safer and has a much shorter
recovery time than the gastric bypass. Many patients can return to work within
one week of surgery.”
Dr. Ron Hekier reports, “The Lap Band surgery is the
only obesity surgery that is adjustable and reversible to individualize weight
loss for each patient. In several international studies, there were dramatic
improvements in serious medical illnesses following weight loss associated with
Lap Band surgery, including remission in type-2 diabetes, sleep apnea, lower
blood pressure, and depression.”
Dr. Rachael Keilin and Dr. Ron Hekier
have been performing the Lap Band surgery in Texarkana since 2004. Now members
of Precision Surgery, LLP, a professional limited liability partnership of
professional associations, they have begun to offer the Lap Band surgery as a
same day procedure.
