Warning Issued by Permanent Weight Loss Lap-Band® Experts, iVital: Mexico, Gastric Bypass, Diet Failure
Dallas/Ft. Worth and Plano, TX (PRWEB) June 11, 2008 -- As the Lap-Band® gastric banding procedure quickly becomes the most popular, safe and effective solution for hundreds of thousands suffering from weight-related symptoms and 30 or more pounds of unwanted fat to lose, iVital (http://www.ivital.com) issues a warning and offers expert advice to improve the success rate for all Lap-Band recipients.
Texas recently has emerged as the hub for weight loss surgery, especially in Dallas, Fort Worth, and Plano. Leading in unparalleled patient care before, during and well after the outpatient Lap-Band procedure, iVital cautions all prospective patients about making a final decision without all the facts. (http://www.wfaa.com/video/gmtgeneral-index.html?nvid=244849)
"More than ever, Lap-Band has become the safest, least invasive, most successful option for hundreds of thousands suffering from weight-related ailments and low quality-of-life (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/04/17/60minutes/main4023451.shtml)," said iVital Medical Director Dr. Theresa Garza. "It's crucial to understand all the facts before you make a final Lap-Band decision. Mistakes patients report include misunderstanding the full ramifications of seeking procedures in Mexico, being wrongly pushed toward gastric bypass, procrastinating with fad diets, dealing with insurance delays and unexpected denials, choosing the cheapest option rather than a center known for its patient care, and failing to request payment plan options."
"If I knew then what I know now," is a regular mantra among patients who seek medical procedures without first getting answers to vital questions. iVital, known for its unparalleled and compassionate patient care, is committed to improving the success rates for all Lap-Band patients by making the "Before You Decide" Lap-Band Questions Checklist available to anyone seeking information about permanent weight loss options.
iVital "Before You Decide" Lap-Band Questions Checklist:
? How comfortable am I leaving America for Mexico to have a medical procedure? And how frequently can I afford to return to Mexico for evaluations, regular check-ups and necessary adjustments to optimize the performance of my Lap-Band?
? Knowing diets fail more than 95% of the time, do I want to continue investing time, money and emotion into yet another diet book, group or fad?
? Do I have countless months to wait on insurance bureaucracy and uncertain coverage before beginning the process of losing weight?
? Would a Payment Plan make sense?
? Do I go with the lowest priced Lap-Band offer or invest in unparalleled patient care to ensure a successful outcome?
iVital believes patients who've "done their homework" will have the greatest Lap-Band success rates for permanent weight loss (http://www.prnewswire.com/mnr/momentoftruth/25719/).

A recent poll of Lap-Band recipients revealed that 83% said having the Lap-Band procedure "was the best thing I've ever done for myself." Many had the procedure so recently, they still were making up their minds. Fewer than 3% regretted their decision.
The ideal Lap-Band candidate who is most likely to succeed in losing excess weight for good has 30 or more pounds to lose and may be suffering weight-related symptoms including diabetes, high blood sugar, infertility, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, hypertension, breathlessness, orthopedic problems, sore feet, aching back, weak knees, sleep apnea, gout, low energy, fatigue, diminished self-esteem and stubborn excess weight. (As reported in the Annals of Internal Medicine: With integrated patient care, 98% of Lap-Band® patients studied lost 87% of their excess weight--and kept it off.)

Keeping yourself physically fit and healthy is of utmost importance so a balanced diet and exercise is a must. For the people who find gym fees to be somewhat expensive or would prefer to exercise in their own convenient time without other people around, exercising at home is the best option. Having your own exercise equipment at home gives you the freedom to use the machine when you want it and how you want it. You don't have to worry about other people waiting to follow and use a machine like that in a gym (most especially if it gets crowded and there are more people in comparison to the number of machines).

weight is an issue that Americans simply can't seem to escape. Yeah, you can spend your cash on liposuction, tummy tucks, and thigh reduction, but the truth is you can't escape reality. The weight will come back if you don't alter your diet and start a fitness regime. This is the way our bodies work. My advice is to stop the lame easy way out routine and start working to get physically fit. Having surgery done will hardly put your body into tip-top condition. What you need is a gym or some quality home fitness equipment. The choice is yours. These days they even have high-tech machines to make it safer than ever. Ever heard of the elliptical exercise machine. This one is a huge hit now days at the local gym.

The Chinese pregnancy calendar is an absolute must have for any mother to be. If you don't already know what it is, a Chinese Pregnancy Calendar is a chart that was buried in the tomb of royals around a 700 years ago. Currently on display at the Beijing Institute of Science, it is supposed to tell expectant couples whether or not their child is going to be a boy or a girl. The calendar has two axes: the age of the mother at conception and the month that the baby was conceived. There's no telling exactly how accurate the chart is, but it correctly guessed the sex of both my brother and me when I looked it up.
Looking back through my files I've come across several great tips for Parents. Here are just a few that I hope will be helpful to you as you invest your day in raising our next generation.
