			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lap Band Surgery is a weight loss surgery which was designed to help obese people to lose their unwanted weight. When it was first introduced into the society in the 80&#8242;s, obese people was hoping high and low that this surgery will be the perfect solution for them forever. The truth is, there is no miracles which will happen after this surgery if one does not have the determination to change his existing eating habit, nor find time for exercise and physical activities.</p>
<p><span id="more-80"></span>
<p>Thus, for anyone out there who really wished to opt for this weight-loss surgery, please do not naively assume that this surgery will make miracles for you for it definitely takes more than the surgery itself to accomplish the ultimate success in weight loss. Additional efforts are necessary to be incorporated into one&#8217;s life-style soon after this surgery to facilitate your weight loss goal.</p>
<p>1.	Controlling of food selection -</p>
<p>After the surgery, the band will help to restrict the amount of food which one can take in, but this is not good enough, because if the patient continues to consume food which is high in fat, cholesterol, sugar, and sodium, weight loss would never succeed. It takes a lot of discipline and determination for weight loss to be successful. Picking the right kind of food is vital in maintaining one&#8217;s physical well-being, while at the same time it helps to facilitate your weight loss process usefully.</p>
<p>2.	Lack of exercise -</p>
<p>As the rules of thumb &#8211; in order to lose weight, we would either need to burn more calories each day progressively, or to consumer lesser calories each day. Exercise is the best way to get rid of the extra calories from our body, in order to return to the healthy BMI</p>
<p>3.	Lap Band Erosion -</p>
<p>The effectiveness of the Lap Band may get lessen over some considerable period of time, or it may have caused by an urgent lap band erosion. In serious cases, the patients will start to vomit blood uncontrollably. If this has not being attended fast enough, the patients might face high potential risk of facing fatal death.</p>
<p>4.	Lack of after surgery follow up -</p>
<p>In this case, the patients fail to comply to their after- surgery follow up visits to their surgeons every 3 months for close monitoring on their health condition and the results after this surgery. Failing to visit their doctor for regular check-ups may be one of the key possibility of unidentified lap band failure until it is too late.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Weight loss surgery is an important medical decision which cannot be taken lightly because there is certain risk factor which is attached to this Lap Band surgery, which cannot be avoided completely.

If you are a business person who is responsible to entertain your customers with fancy dinners and drinking at happy hour to settle for successful contracts or Business deal, then this surgery might not be suitable for you.

<p>b.	If the key reason for any of the patients who are opting for this surgery to get their weight reduction done, and be slimmer thereafter, then I am sure that they will be very disappointed if they learnt about the truth. Nothing will lead them to a toner body after these surgeries except if one is really determined in achieving their desire weight loss. They need to put-away their old lifestyle by incorporating more physical exercises at least twice a week, and starting a good healthy eating habit with less oil, meat and sodium.</p>
<p>c.	Potential complications might occur during or after the surgery, such as constipation, nausea with frequent vomiting, abnormal stool and discharge especially the first 1-2 months after the surgery.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Obesity has become one of the hottest topics nowadays as the World Health Organization (WHO) has stated that obesity is the biggest unrecognized health problem in the world currently. The shocking obesity statistics have shown that there are more and more people in the world suffering from weight problems. The increasing rate has reached an alarming level. Obesity is a major health risk to all people which involves kids, teens and adults. It is associated with a large number of very important diseases.</p>
<p><span id="more-75"></span>
<p>In fact, there are many weigh loss options to assist obese people to solve their problem. Until today, the most effective and safest method for weight loss is lap band surgery. It is the latest surgery which is customized for individuals who have body mass index (BMI) of 40 and above.</p>
<p>The main objective of having this particular surgical procedure is to assist those obese people who are suffering from severe overweight problems to achieve weight loss in long term. It helps to reduce the capacity of the stomach to take in lesser food. In another words, it helps to restrict the quantity of food to be held by the stomach. Does lap band surgery have the ability to reduce the shocking obesity statistics?</p>
<p>Lap band surgery involves a high surgical fee as well as intensive care after the operation. In those advanced countries, it is quite possible that lap band surgery can assist to reduce the number of obese people as the patients are more affordable to the expensive surgical expenses.</p>
<p>Even some of the patients can&#8217;t afford to pay the high surgical fees; there are many insurance companies and financial institutions which are available to offer financial assistance to them for lap band surgery to assist them to manage their medical payment.</p>
<p>In fact, lap band surgery is indeed the best method to overcome obesity. This surgical procedure includes implanting a gastric band (an inflatable silicone device) around the top portion of the stomach. The placement of the band creates a small &#8220;bag&#8221; above the stomach. This &#8220;bag&#8221; can hold about 110 to 220 grams of food from each meal. As the bag is filled with food, the band helps to shift the food to the lower part of the stomach in a slower process.</p>
<p>Hence, the patients would feel full for a longer period of time and their digestion process is slowed down. As a result, the patients do not feel hungry so fast and this restricts the patients from eating more. In the long run, it encourages weight loss and helps the patients to maintain a healthy weight level.</p>
<p>In conclusion, lap band surgery is able to decrease the shocking obesity rates within the society, especially if the patients are following the doctors&#8217; instructions well after the operation. They must also be consistent in applying balanced diet and healthy lifestyle in their daily life. The objective of reducing obesity problems among the population in the long run is actually achievable.</p>
