Obesity Surgery Questions
Can I keep having a gastric band a secret?
That is entirely your choice. Many of our gastric band patients see weight-loss surgery as the last resort and choose only to tell a close friend relative or spouse. You will still be able to eat a "normal" diet but in much smaller portions. Having a gastric band is nothing to be ashamed of, but everything you discuss with us will be kept completely confidential.
