Abraham Now: 165lbs, 30 inch waist

San Antonio, Texas (PRWEB) April 10, 2012

Dr. Nilesh A. Patel of Texas Bariatric Specialists (TBS) is pleased to announce the success of Abraham Weaver and his dramatic 185 pound weight loss as well as his return to general health after performing a Gastric Bypass procedure in 2009.

Heavy all his life, Abraham would diet and lose as much as100 lbs, but would gain it back due to his bad eating habits. His good habit of a yearly physical with his family doctor however, may have saved his life. After his 2008 physical, his doctor explained that he had developed Type 2 Diabetes, high blood pressure, dangerously high cholesterol, and several herniated discs in his back due to his extra weight. His doctor insisted Abraham do something immediately, as his life was in jeopardy, and recommended he look into Lap Band or Gastric Bypass Surgery as a long term solution for good health.

Abraham researched weight loss procedures online and attended seminars at three different doctors’ offices, where he felt he was treated “like cattle”. As a last resort, Abraham attended a seminar given by Dr. Nilesh Patel and Texas Bariatric Specialists. This seminar was different; Dr. Patel sat down with him to talk and, given Abraham’s weight and physical condition, Dr. Patel agreed that Gastric Bypass Surgery was his best option. Texas Bariatric Specialists’ staff would take care of insurance red tape and partner with Abraham for a life of good health.

After his Gastric Bypass procedure, Abraham committed to a healthy, high protein diet and more active lifestyle. His pre-surgery weight of 380 lbs. consistently and steadily decreased and he is now 165lbs with a 30 inch waist! He is no longer diabetic; his cholesterol has returned to normal, healthy levels and his herniated discs are no longer herniated.

Asked what advice he would give to others considering Lap Band or Gastric Bypass surgery, Abraham points out that the surgery is not a magic blue pill; it is only a tool to help you change your life and improve your health. It’s up to you to change bad habits. “Change is difficult, but if you embrace it with faith, courage, and hard work, you can do anything and be happy and healthy for the rest of your life.”

Sacramento, CA (PRWEB) April 22, 2012

With people around the country reporting successes, Virtual Gastric LapBand Hypnosis has become a trendy new way to lose weight. Recently recommended by Dr. Oz on his popular medical advice TV show, the procedure takes advantage of one of the body’s most powerful mechanisms—the brain—to help patients trim waistlines. By using the ages old technique of hypnosis, patients come to believe they’ve had a stomach shrinking LapBand surgery, without going under the knife.

Interested Sacramento and California residents now, too, can benefit from this fast-growing trend with a nearby resource to guide them through the process. Long-time, Sacramento-based Lifestyle Hypnotherapist Dr. Kenneth Grossman is filling these shoes. With the launch of his new Virtual Gastric LapBand Hypnosis/Hypno-Band Weight Loss System, people in the area now have access to LapBand technology, without the risks, or costs, associated with surgery.

“This program has been designed to take advantage of the power of suggestion,” says Dr. Grossman. “Through highly-targeted, one-on-one sessions and home-use CDs, clients come to believe they’ve have a size reducing band placed around their stomach. This feeling of reduced stomach capacity, leads patients to eat less and stay full longer, resulting in weight loss and positive health habits.”

Unlike traditional forms of therapy, which can take years, hypnotherapy recipients often experience change within just a few sessions. Patients also have the opportunity to confront the emotional component of overeating that frequently goes unaddressed when getting LapBand surgery alone.

Dr. Grossman notes, however, that Virtual Gastric LapBand Hypnosis is not for everyone. “This procedure is really geared to those with a Body Mass Index (BMI) over 30,” he says. “If you fall in this category, LapBand Hypnosis can help you get back to a healthy weight.”

In addition to Virtual Gastric LapBand Hypnosis, Dr. Grossman offers over 40 life-changing hypnosis programs, including other types of weight loss sessions, at his website (http://www.Doctor-Grossman.com).

London (PRWEB UK) 10 April 2012

London-based weight loss surgery provider, Bodycraft Weight Loss, already has an excellent reputation for bariatric surgery and aftercare, offering a wide range of procedures with top surgeons in 5* facilities. Now Bodycraft has announced exciting plans for a revolutionary new programme, especially designed to help weight loss surgery patients make excellent progress in the vital first year.

Bodycraft Weight Loss provides bariatric surgery for overweight and obese patients, offering procedures such as the gastric band, bypass or sleeve to help their patients lose weight.

The Company is renowned for a comprehensive and holistic approach to weight loss and offers an unusually comprehensive aftercare package. Prior to surgery, patients will receive pre-operative counselling from a counsellor who specialises in bariatric surgery. After surgery as well as post-surgical care, patients benefit from comprehensive dietary advice from specialist dietitians on diet, portion sizes and even meal plans.

With the help of Bodycraft’s team, patients understand the importance of changing their lifestyle in order to achieve healthy, sustainable weight loss.

Weight loss surgery should never be thought of as the easy option. To succeed takes determination and genuine changes to patients’ daily lives and routines, so it is very important for patients to have the right strategies in place in order to reach and maintain their target weight.

That’s why Bodycraft have launched new “Bodycraft Life”, to help patients stay on track.

Bodycraft Life is a unique new concept providing invaluable group support, especially for patients in the vital first year after weight loss surgery. The programme consists of group workshops offered by Julia Cox, Bodycraft’s Bariatric Counsellor, who is a fully qualified counsellor who intimately understands the issues surrounding weight loss, having slimmed from a size 20 to a 10 herself after bariatric surgery.

Each two and a half hour workshop will have a maximum 8 people to ensure an intimate and unthreatening environment. As well as sharing personal experiences and tips, sessions will cover issues such as goal-setting, practical and workable strategies, recognising obstacles and overcoming setbacks.

The key is a supportive environment which respects the fact that weight loss surgery patients have made a huge life-changing decision and that sharing the experience with like-minded individuals can be very encouraging.

The workshops will assist patients to progress with confidence towards their goals and provide valuable strategies to help them to maintain target weight.

Bodycraft’s team of bariatric surgeons, counsellors, nurses and dietitians specialise in providing weight loss surgery and supporting patients afterwards with comprehensive aftercare and dietary support to ensure that they succeed in healthy weight loss.

A spokesperson for the company said “We have always put high standards of aftercare at the centre of our business philosophy; providing dietary support and a specialist support team to help our patients achieve their goals. We are therefore delighted to announce the addition of ‘Bodycraft Life’ to our range of services.”

“The first year after surgery is vitally important. Patients’ hopes and expectations for weight loss can be high, but adjusting to a new lifestyle after surgery can be quite challenging.”

“Having the support of an expert counsellor, with some very practical techniques to boost confidence and motivation, can be very helpful. In addition, workshops are a great opportunity to meet other patients in the same situation and share experiences.”

As well as Bodycraft’s own patients, an invitation is extended to any weight loss surgery patients who would value the support, including ex-NHS and private patients, or patients who have travelled abroad for surgery and find they need more support post-operatively.

Bodycraft offers a full range of weight loss surgery procedures, including the gastric band, bypass and sleeve, as well as the non-surgical gastric balloon. Patients are supported before, during and after surgery by professional and dedicated dietitians, nurses and counsellors as well as Consultant Bariatric Surgeons, to ensure that patients get the best results from surgery.

Patients can call Bodycraft on freephone 0800 862 0343 to request a confidential consultation with a Weight Loss Surgeon. http://www.bodycraftweightloss.co.uk for further information.
