Choosing an experienced and knowledgeable surgeon is the most important decision a patient can make.

When choosing a surgeon it’s critical to ask the right questions
For example: What are his qualifications? How long has he been
doing this particular procedure? Where did he study? How well
is he acknowledged in the medical community?

And, in the case of bariatric surgery… How well does he
understand your ongoing frustration with weight-loss?

Dr. David Davtyan is one of the most experienced LapBand surgeons in the United States.

As a LapBand patient himself, Dr. Davtyan possesses a deep understanding of what itmeans to struggle with obesity and the physical and psychological problems that being severely overweight can cause. He also knows how well this procedure works and how to avoid potential pitfalls that can interfere with weight-loss success.

A pioneering surgeon.
A pioneering patient.

The LAP-BAND® procedure was developed in Brussels by Dr. Guy-Bernard Cadiere, a world-renowned pioneer of laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding. Dr. Davtyan was so impressed with the procedure’s safety and remarkable success, he not only became one of the first surgeons to travel to Belgium to learn the technique, he returned a year later to have the procedure himself. When it received FDA approval in April 2001, Dr. Davtyan became one of the first U.S. surgeons to offer the Lap-Band surgery, and the first in California to perform the procedure at an outpatient surgery center. Dr. Davytan also performs Sleeve Gastroectomy and Single-Incision Laparoscoptic surgery (SILS).

Experience equals expertise.

As one of the first U.S. surgeon to perform the Lap-Band procedure in 2001, Dr. Davytan
brings a level of excellence and expertise to the procedure that few other surgeons can
offer. His exceptional credentials, coupled with his compassion for the problem and,
as a Lap-Band patient himself, his success with the solution, make him a unique
resource for every patient.
