Freedom From Obesity - Dr. George Merriman

Just attended my annual meeting of the American Society of Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery, in San Diego, CA. this year. It was our 40th of which l have attended the last 26 😀. The research results about the origins of this disease and the most effective treatment protocols advance every year. I feel more empowered than ever by the discoveries and advances that are occuring! Have confidence that my practice remains on the cutting edge in this regard!

The adjustable Lap-Band® is placed around the stomach, resulting in a shape similar to an hourglass, which helps promote a feeling of fullness, helps limit the amount of food that can be consumed at one time, and slows the movement of food to your stomach.

After the Lap-Band is placed, adjustments will be made to ensure that you’re in the Green Zone to help you take control of your weight. What is the Green Zone? ✅ It’s when a band is just right! Swipe through to learn more about how a Lap-Band Patient should feel when they are in the Green Zone.

Dr. Merriman has had successful Lap Band patients for over 20 years. Contact us for more info at 318.222.4282
