The actual procedure can take as little as 30 minutes, but you will need several days to recover in the following days. That means scheduling your surgery at a time where you can also have a break from work, and plenty of time set aside for recovery. âPatients can usually return to work within seven days of lap band surgery,â said Dr. Shawn Garber, a bariatric surgeon in Long Island, N.Y., in a RealSelf Q&A. âThe only restriction is no heavy lifting for about four to six weeks.â.
A: It usually costs between $15,000-$30,000 to put in a Lap-Band. If there are complications, removal will cost at least that much and possibly much more. If you are considering a Lap-Band, find out if your health insurance will pay for the surgery and be sure to find out if it will pay to have the Lap-Band removed.Many insurance companies will only pay for one Lap-Band surgery, so they will pay to put it in, but not to take it out.n some cases the Lap-Band slips off or starts to deteriorate, requiring surgery, and the patient decides to remove the Lap-Band and not take that risk again. Lap-Bands can deteriorate after just a year or two, or possibly a few years later. These are some of the other reasons why people have their Lap-Bands removed.
