Our mission is to maximize your weight loss success using the latest research and technology in a supportive, caring environment. Synchrony Health Chicago staff are Lap-Band® patients and are passionate about helping you succeed!

Synchrony Health Chicago founder, Dr. Brad Watkins, began performing Lap-Band® surgery shortly after the June 2001 FDA approval in the United States, and since then has had experience with nearly 5,000 gastric band procedures. In addition, he has published five of the top scientific papers on the topic and is a proctor for both Allergan (LAP-BAND®) and Ethicon Endo-Surgery (REALIZE™ Band), teaching other surgeons to perform this life-saving procedure.

With thousands of bands placed, and hundreds of thousands of pounds lost by our patients, Synchrony Health Chicago is one of Chicago's leading clinics for Lap-Band® surgery. Our extensive experience has shown us that patients require excellent care and support long after surgery is over, to both minimize their frustration and maximize their Lap-Band ® success!
