When obesity is such a large problem for so many people, it's only natural that they turn to the least invasive method (when surgery is the only option they feel they have left). One surgical procedure is the lap-band. Journey Lite is a fast-growing group of physicians who will work with you to determine the best route. Currently they have offices in Tampa, Houston, and LA; but are in the process of expanding to more states. The procedure is done through several smaller incisions rather than a large one, minimizing scarring and some of the risk- although risk is a fact of every surgical procedure and as always should be carefully considered before undertaking.
