Corporate America Trims the Fat - Literally
Published: February/March, 2010
With the decline in the economy, employers are forced to take a closer look at their workforce. One of the things they have to consider is employee health, a growing concern partly based on increasing health care costs.
So where will they "trim the fat?" Simple-by looking at employees that cost them money. Key elements of a 2006 study provided by Leade Health and titled "The Business Case for Weight/Obesity Management Using Health Coaching Interventions" focused on obesity-related diseases and their effects on the bottom line of businesses. Employee obesity is the number-one factor in productivity loss, and employees under scrutiny are those who are severely overweight.
Body Contouring the Post Bariatric Patient
Published: October 10, 2009
When weight loss isn't enough, patients seek the expertise and skill of Phoenix Plastic Surgeons and Scottsdale Plastic Surgeons to make the contour difference.
Like many bariatric patients, Andrea lost a hundred and twenty pounds after having gastric bypass surgery. She incorporated a healthy diet and worked out on a regular basis, and for the most part, was with her results, except for one thing…the saggy skin hanging on her lower abdomen.
No matter how much she exercised, this flap of skin was not going to go away. In many ways, this took the joy out of the progress she had made and she began to focus on the negative aspects of her unpleasant body contour.

Bariatric surgery not riskier for seniors
Published: June 26, 2009 at 12:32 AM
DALLAS, June 26 (UPI) -- Bariatric surgery in the older population is underutilized because of a misperception that old age alone puts patients at higher risk, U.S. researchers say.
Co-author Dr. Joseph Kuhn of the Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas said the study found seniors can benefit just as much as younger people from bariatric surgery without taking on additional risk.
Researchers from Baylor University Medical Center analyzed a prospective database of 100 patients age 65 and older and compared safety and outcomes to those of a younger population. All patients had laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery between January 2005 and July 2008.
