Lapband is effective because it actually shrinks the stomach. A person will feel fuller much quicker after having this surgery done. It is done to help a person lose weight.
I think the lapband procedure may be a little complicated; however, i do not think it is anymore complicated then the gastric bypass surgery. The lapband procedure seems like a simple way to stop you from overeating all the time.

You will be required to lose some weight before surgery. Lapband surgery is quite a process and adding lipo does not sound like a reasonable addition. There's just no easy, fast way to first get "weight relief" instantly.
