“In my first months at ReShape, I am impressed with the commercial progress the team has made in such a short time of owning LAP-BAND,” said Bart Bandy, President and Chief Executive Officer at ReShape Lifesciences. “The revenue achieved in the first quarter of 2019 alone is greater than ReShape Lifesciences revenues for the entire year of 2018.
