 Patients can access the new multimedia program from any computer with Internet access. It combines cutting-edge medical animation, video, audio narration and interactive programming into an easy-to-use interactive design. The program is available for those considering either gastric bypass Roux-en-Y or adjustable gastric banding procedures, such as Lap Band™. Learn More >>
