What is a Lap Band Adjustment/fill?

It is a quick and relatively painless outpatient procedure. An x-ray will be taken during the procedure in order to see the band reservoir or "port" clearly. Then, a fine needle is passed through the skin into the port to add or remove saline. Adding saline tightens the band, further restricting the amount of food you can eat before you feel full and satisfied. Local anesthesia is used.
