You can rest assured that bariatric surgery will benefit your child both physically and socially.
Introducing BabyBand™
Dr. Jeffery is proud to announce the BabyBand™. The surgically implanted device fights obesity by restricting calorie intake. The surgery is minimally invasive and can be implanted in infants as young as seven days old. "This is the perfect implant to prevent parental embarrassment from baby appearance comments from friends, relatives, and the general public. No more tubby chubby chatter..." states Dr. Jeffery.
Be Proactive
The BabyBand™ is perfect for parents concerned about potential future obesity. Why wait for your child to become fat? It's already common place to vaccinate your child for "potential" diseases like polio and chicken pox. With the BabyBand™ there is now a solution available to caring parents who don't want to risk obesity in their child's future. The procedure is performed under general anesthetic so there is no need to worry about discomfort from the surgical incision. Recovery time from the BabyBand™ surgery is very short and pain medication to reduce crankiness or crying can be prescribed.
Adjustable
The BabyBand™ is fully adjustable via Dr. Jeffery's patented remote control unit. As your child's body grows, adjustments can be made to the band remotely from the Doctor's office.
Reversible
One of the major benefits of the BabyBand™ over other bariatric procedures, such as gastric bypass, is that the device can be removed if complications do arise.

Dr. Jeffery has created a groundbreaking advancement in online patient qualification. To see if your child qualifies, please take the qualification test.
