]]> Comment on The Hype Behind Anti Age Skin Care Products by smilinggreenmom http://wls-surgery.com/health/the-hype-behind-anti-age-skin-care-products/comment-page-1/#comment-9294 smilinggreenmom Mon, 02 Nov 2009 14:18:33 +0000 http://wls-surgery.com/health/the-hype-behind-anti-age-skin-care-products/#comment-9294 I have chosen to eliminate all of the nasty chemical based anti-aging "remedies" and instead I am using natural things for my skin. I do take my daily Vidazorb OPC age defense probiotic and for my face I wash with baking soda and water mixed and then I moisturize with olive oil. It feels wonderful and it makes me feel great to know that what I am putting on my skin is healthy! I read that "we should not put on our skin, anything that we wouldn't be willing to eat" Says enough for me!

I know that I have really been trying to work on my life style choices including the elimination of processed food, trying to exercise a few days a week and taking our daily Vidazorb chewable probiotics. Incase there are others out there looking for a natural way to keeping weight controlled, instead of surgery, probiotics have really been showing great benefits to people for so many reasons such as weight. I hope this helps. I wish so much that more people cared about their overall health rather than straight numbers on a scale.

The association between superior experience and lower mortality is well documented. In one study the mortality was 5% among patients of surgeons who had performed fewer then 20 procedures per year and near zero for those treated by clinicians who have done greater the 250 surgical procedures annually. The N.E.W. Program has performed thousands of bariatric operations, and our surgeons have advanced training in minimally invasive techniques. Also of extreme importance is choosing a surgeon that performs the operation laparoscopically for the majority of procedures. When you interview different prospective surgeons ask what their percentage of transition from laparoscopic to open incisions is. The surgeons of The N.E.W Program have performed 99.9% of their operations laparoscopically. Justin Braverman, M.D. Bariatric Surgeon The N.E.W.

Affordable, Low Cost Lap-band Procedure in the Dominican Republic by medical tourism http://wls-surgery.com/weight_loss_surgery/weight-loss-surgery-medical-tourism-affordable-low-cost-lap-band-procedure-in-the-dominican-republic/comment-page-1/#comment-7889 medical tourism Thu, 23 Jul 2009 02:12:20 +0000 http://wls-surgery.com/weight_loss_surgery/weight-loss-surgery-medical-tourism-affordable-low-cost-lap-band-procedure-in-the-dominican-republic/#comment-7889 There are several different reasons to use medical tourism in order to obtain health care. Some people, especially celebrities, prefer to have cosmetic surgeries done far from home because they want to be out of the public spotlight while they recover. In other case, some patients may find alternative treatments being utilized in other countries that are not available in their home country.

Obesity continues to be a such a HUGE problem and does so much damage. People really do need to learn how to eat wisely and to lose that health-crushing extra weight.

I am a professional Health and Wellness Coach and work with obesity on an everyday basis. Clients need a professional to listen to their individual situation and create a complete, individual program that includes all of the elements of a healthy lifestyle. Only then can the client be assured of long term success after the choice to operate has been made. from Tatiana Abend Founder, Owner BodyVision, SL Health Coaching Company Although the weight loss surgery issue is indeed one of the solutions available to the obese population, it is recommended to work on lifestyle choices both before and after the operation to ensure the support, education, resources, structure and lasting success to the individual program.
