HISTORY
In the late 1990?s, Dr. Diggiss became interested and involved with LapBand Surgery. At that time it was being developed by Professor Mitiku Belachew in Belgium. Dr. Diggiss flew to Belgium and learned about the LapBand first hand. He and Dr. Belachew developed a friendship and eventually with Dr. Belachew, he performed three LapBand surgeries in Nassau, Bahamas in 1998. Ten years later, Dr. Diggiss re-introduced LapBand Surgery to The Bahamas in 2008 and realizing the necessity to have a comprehensive weight management program in conjunction with the surgery, RITEWEIGH was created as a part of HealthWise Ltd. By 2015 the Gastric Sleeve had essentially replace the Lapband as the patients first choice operation.
