My name is Timothy Brown, and I am a weight loss (bariatric) surgeon. My passion for surgical weight loss began in 1992 with my first job as a practicing surgeon. At the time I was an active military officer and working at a large Air Force Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas. My surgical partner was Dr. Scott Shikora, M.D., and we both were interested in weight loss surgery.

Problems arising from laparoscopic gastric bands are common, and Lap-Band removal is becoming more and more popular. Many studies have shown that more than half of the gastric bands are removed due to inadequate weight loss or serious complications after 7-10 years. Placing a laparoscopic gastric band around the stomach is a safe method for weight loss, but complications sometimes do occur. Due to the inadequate weight loss, weight regain, and high long-term complication rate, the use of the Lap-Band has sharply decreased.
