Important LAP-BAND* System
Safety Information
INDICATIONS:
The LAP-BAND' System is
indicated for weight reduction for patients
with obesity, with a Body Mass Index (BMI)
of at least 40 kg/m2 or a BMI of at least
30 kg/m2 with one or more obesity related
comorbid conditions.
It is indicated for use in adult patients
who have failed more conservative weight
reduction alternatives, such as supervised
diet, exercise and behavior modification
programs. Patients who elect to have this
surgery must make the commitment to
accept significant changes in their eating
habits for the rest of their lives.
CONTRAINDICATIONS:
The LAP-BAND
System is not recommended for non-adult
patients, patients with conditions that
may make them poor surgical candidates
or increase the risk of poor results (e.g.,
inflammatory or cardiopulmonary diseases.
Gl conditions, symptoms or family history
of autoimmune disease, cirrhosis), who
are unwilling or unable to comply with the
required dietary restrictions, who have
alcohol or drug addictions, or who currently
are or may be pregnant.
WARNINGS:
The LAP-BAND
System is a
long-term implant. Explant and replacement
surgery may be required. Patients who
become pregnant or severely ill, or who
require more extensive nutrition may require
deflation of their bands. Anti-inflammatory
agents, such as aspirin, should be used with
caution and may contribute to an increased
risk of band erosion.
ADVERSE EVENTS:
Placement of the
LAP-BAND
System is major surgery and, as
with any surgery, death can occur. Possible
complications include the risks associated
with the medications and methods used
during surgery, the risks associated with any
surgical procedure, and the patient’s ability
to tolerate a foreign object implanted in
the body.
Band slippage, erosion and deflation, reflux,
obstruction of the stomach, dilation of the
esophagus, infection, or nausea and vomiting
may occur. Reoperation may be required.
Rapid weight loss may result in complications
that may require additional surgery. Deflation
of the band may alleviate excessively rapid
weight loss or esophageal dilation.
IMPORTANT:
For full safety information
please visit www.lapband.com, talk with your
doctor, or call Allergan Product Support at
1-800-624-4261.
CAUTION:
Rx only.
