LAP-BAND® Adjustable Gastric Banding System For Weight Loss The LAP-BAND® Adjustable Gastric Banding System is a form of weight loss surgery that is is becoming more popular because of its lower costs and quicker recovery times. The operation is also perceived as being less invasive than the more commonly used Roux-en-Y gastric bypass procedure. The laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding procedure is often called the LAP-BAND® System, after the inflatable silicon band that divides the stomach, creating a very small stomach pouch w... Why Is The Cabbage Soup Diet Still So Popular? Thousands of people search the Internet each month for the old fad-diet standby, the cabbage soup diet. What makes it so popular? This diet is probably so popular because it’s really easy to use. Unlike nutritional plans that can actually lead to long-term healthy weight loss, the cabbage soup diet requires little reading, no studying, and very little preparation. Just make up one pot of soup, put it in the fridge, and eat some whenever you get hungry. It sounds easy, but ... Are You Eligible For Bariatric Surgery? “Obesity-Related Illness” Defined Most obesity centers have very specific eligibility criteria for their surgical patients. Usually, to be eligible for gastric bypass surgery you would need to have a BMI (Body Mass Index) of 40 or more, or a BMI of 35 to 39.9 with obesity related illnesses. What, exactly, is an obesity-related illness? When most people think of a condition related to obesity they think of diabetes and heart disease. Both of these conditions have shown improvement for many patients after ga... Very Low Calorie Diets – An Alternative To Gastric Bypass Surgery You lose weight after a gastric bypass surgery because you’re restricted to a very low calorie diet. You can only eat tiny portions because your stomach is much smaller. Some high-calorie foods high in sugar and fat cannot be eaten because they cause nausea and vomiting, and part of the digestive tract is bypassed, which reduces the absorption of nutrients and calories. If you’re looking for a safer alternative to gastric bypass, you might consider a doctor-supervised very... Common Complications Of Gastric Bypass And Gastric Banding Surgery It’s natural to be concerned about the risks associated with gastric bypass and gastric banding surgery, since some complications associated with weight loss surgery can be fatal. A recent study by University of Washington researchers found the fatality rate from gastric bypass surgery can be as high as 5% for younger patients, and 50% or more for older patients. Less experienced surgeons and obesity clinics have the highest rates of complications. It makes sense to dis... Good Reasons To Avoid Mini-gastric Bypass Surgery Because of the many complications associated with the mini-gastric bypass weight loss procedure, it has been abandoned by nearly all bariatric surgeons as unsafe. In fact, The American Society for Bariatric Surgery has determined that the procedure should never be performed. The mini gastric bypass is done using a laparoscopic technique that avoids large scars and cuts down on operating time. However, this is still a very drastic procedure. The mini gastric bypass procedur...

Why Weight Lifting Should Be A Part Of Your Weekly Routine No matter how old you are, weight lifting should be a large part of your exercise program, according to the American College of Sports. A simple strength training program is easy to fit into your weekly schedule, and can help you stay thin while reducing the risk of bone loss later in life.
