(CNN) Lap-Band for Lower BMI Safe, FDA panel says

Currently on CNN, the FDA has declared the popular lap band surgery safe for those with a body mass index (BMI) between 30-35. A quote from the article:

A Food and Drug Administration advisory committee on Friday voted that the new proposed Body Mass Index requirements for Lap-Band weight loss surgery are safe, effective, and that benefits associated with the surgery outweigh the risks. Now the FDA must make a final decision on whether to approve the medical device for patients with lower BMIs than previously allowed.
