The LAP-BAND™ SYSTEM has become the first bariatric device in Europe to be officially approved for its effect on Type 2 diabetes in obese patients, through weight loss. This is based on evidence which showed that patients who achieve significant weight loss following LAP-BAND™ surgery were over 5 times more likely to achieve remission of Type 2 diabetes than those receiving conventional diabetes therapy alone (73% vs.13%) (p<0.001).1
