Surgeons at Cleveland Clinic are innovating new methods in weight loss surgery. The new method reduces stomach volume by 2/3 without removing part of the stomach. A major difference between this procedure and others is that it may potentially be reversible.

Question by OHSOLUVLEE1: How or why are many of the people I have seen who have had weight loss surgery still fat years later?
My insurance through my employer now pays for one weight loss surgery per lifetime. As a result many of my co workers have had the procedure. However many of them are still overweight. I don’t want to have this procedure if its not going to help me lose some of the pounds so that exercise/physical activity is not so much of a chore. Please help.

People go into bariatric surgery thinking it will MAKE them lose weight. They have to change their eating habits and lifestyle if the surgery is going to work long term. They eat too much before the surgery and find ways to eat too much after the surgery – even if it means pain and diarrhea. If people are unwilling to change their habits the surgery is wasted, and if they are willing to change their habits the surgery should be unnecessary.

Search PPO and/or HMO Medical Organizations. You can find these organizations under Major Medical Health Insurance Plans. Print comparison plan charts starting with most comprehensive coverages.
Also call a reputiable employment agency in your area to see if they are familiar with companies you are considering.
Wouldn’t hurt to inquire with the prospective companies you are considering as well.
Finally, if health insurance is your priority for employment you should consider the moral values you are demonstrating, do you want to start a corporate position on this precidence?
Your health is most important, why add stress of a job obligation, there are other options for uninsured individuals.

Bariatric Surgery Practice in Northern Virginia Offers New Videos for Patient Education

Fairfax, VA (PRWEB) January 05, 2012

The team of Northern Virginia weight loss surgeons at Blue Point Surgical Group is now utilizing educational videos from EMMI Solutions to further enhance patient information during their bariatric surgery process. EMMI Solutions creates patient engagement programs that break down complicated medical information into an enhanced and easy to understand patient experience. Blue Point Surgical Group says the video seminars will help bridge the gap between surgeons and patients by translating procedure details into an easily comprehensible, user-friendly explanation.

By delivering evidence-based medical education to patients, Bluepoint Surgical Group says the videos can offer patients a more active role in their healthcare. The practice also adds that the online seminars will be mandatory for patients considering surgery at their practice, whether they’re seeking a procedure such as gastric banding or LAP-BAND® System surgery. By educating patients through a required set of videos, Bluepoint Surgical Group hopes to provide dense information in an easy and convenient way.

In conjunction with the release of the EMMI education videos, Blue Point Surgical Group has also announced that the videos will be available on mobile devices such as smartphones and iPads via their new mobile website. According to the practice, the mobile site will launch on December 31, 2011.

The weight loss surgery practice says that having the option to view them online or on-the-go through their mobile website can put patients at ease whom normally would be nervous and anxious in a doctor’s office. Bluepoint Surgical Group says this added comfort can ensure patients pay full attention to the information being provided about their procedures so they can make better decisions regarding treatment.

For patients considering weight loss surgery, Bluepoint Surgical Group says the seminars offer a distinct advantage because they can be attended online from the comfort and convenience of one’s home rather than in person. Bluepoint’s Medical Director, Dr. Denis Halmi, values the importance of educating the potential patient and loved ones: “By viewing EMMI online, patients and their families can get an introduction to the surgery. Then, when the patient sees me or one of our other surgeons for a consultation in the office, they will be more comfortable asking questions. Also, it is important for the family to know what to expect after the surgery so they can help foster an environment of success.”

Question by Jarod: Where can I take a class on Bariatric Surgery 101?
I am looking for this class everywhere but I cannot find it. Any suggestions? The class is called Bariatric Surgery 101? PLEASE HELP.

Best answer:

Answer by neniaf
You won’t find it, either. 101 would tend to be a class for college freshmen, and you have to be in medical school to take a class having anything to do with any kind of surgery.
