Weight Loss Surgery

I want to discuss LAP-BAND today because weight gain is not about cosmetics, but about health.

It doesn't matter that you work at home. You still face the same social stigma if you are not beautiful, or if you are over weight. I find that people who work at home are heavier, and less toned, than people who go out to work. I find that I graze. However, when I was in the office and always 'appearance conscious' and grazed on vegetables, yogurt, and drank lots of water.

Now that I am a work at home I drink more coffee, and snack. There is a big difference between grazing and snacking.

Diet pills can be dangerous. People have died taking pills. But, my husband has a friend who had a band put around his stomach and it is working, and he is not as distressed as I first thought he would be.

I support cosmetic surgery, but do have some requirements. The clinic must be spa like. I found one lapband houston clinic that met my demands. If you are going to have cosmetic surgery, then it should be a vacation experience - something to be enjoyed. Next, the website must offer a lot of information without using 'shock tactics' and horrific pictures (or air brush models) to promote their products. http://www.journeylite.com/Default/ is a website that does that.

If you are considering a weight loss surgery, then start your research at this website. All the surgeons are 'certified' and the clinic is 'customer oriented.'
