		<description><![CDATA[Deciding between <a title="LAP BAND" href="http://www.weightlosssurgerychannel.com/patient-education/lap-band/" target="_self">Lap-Band</a>®, <a title="Gastric Bypass Surgery" href="http://www.weightlosssurgerychannel.com/patient-education/gastric-bypass/" target="_self">gastric bypass</a>, gastric sleeve or another <a title="Weight Loss Surgery" href="http://www.weightlosssurgerychannel.com" target="_self">weight loss surgery</a> procedure can be confusing. Since every patient is different, there’s no single right answer – but one is right for you. In this informative, two-minute video, Dr. Ron Hekier and Dr. Rachael Keilin offer insights regarding the Lap-Band, including pros and cons of the procedure in comparison to the gastric bypass. Only you and your doctor can make the final decision – but Drs. Keilin and Hekier can help you understand what is involved.]]></description>
