Tree-surgery for atheists
2009-03-07 07:10:00 This article also appeared on the Guardian?s website this week. You can comment on it either there or here.Recently, Colin Blakemore tried to argue that the relentless march of science was leaving precious little room in which religion could survive. He argued that belief in supernatural forces was of a piece with our mistaken belief in freewill. According to Blakemore, both are simply an ?illusion?. I think he is wrong. More than that, I think he believes he is as well, or at the very least, he behaves as if he does.In the course of his argument, Professor Blakemore quoted Pope Benedict XVI when he said, ?If, however, reason?becomes deaf to the great message that comes from the Christian faith and its wisdom, it will wither like a tree whose roots no longer reach the waters that give it life.? Blakemore then trivialises the issue by listing a series of scientists who were not Christians as if that was the Pontiff?s point.Rather, Pope Benedict was highlighting the fact that the bran...

What To Expect After Liposuction Surgery
2009-01-23 08:07:00 What To Expect After Liposuction Surgery was written by Seth Miller from e-liposuction.comAfter the successful surgery, a patient should expect some drainage from the doctor?s incisions. In most cases the drainage is minimal but may last for several days. If the physician suspects the wounds will have excess drainage, he or she may insert a drainage tube or bag to collect any excess fluids and minimize discomfort. The patient will also need to wear special garments, called compression garments, that keep the treated area compressed and tight while in recovery. Most patients will need to wear the garments for several weeks after liposuction. Many surgeons include the garments in the total price of the procedure, otherwise the doctor should inform the patient of the type of garment and where to purchase it.Swelling, bruising, and pain are common complaints in the recovery phase after liposuction. Although these are common, in most liposuction surgeries, patients should not experience ...

We had an appointment for this morning with an orthopedic surgeon to decide the next move. We arrived at the hotel last night. We took Jessica into the hospital to show here where she was 11 years ago at this time when she had two open heart surgeries and found out one of her main nurses will be on tonight but were disappointed we’d not see her. We went back to our hotel room and got ready for bed. Jessica began having a hard time breathing and her heart was beating very rapidly and hard - which we could see across the room. We thought it might be panic attacks or a reaction to Tylenol PM which she just began taking. We walked ...
What To Expect After Gastric Bypass Surgery
2008-12-12 08:07:00 What To Expect After Gastric Bypass Surgery was written by Eddie Tobey from e-gastricbypasssurgery.comMost- patients recover after gastric bypass surgery without complications. Typically, those who undergo the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass procedure, which involves stapling of the stomach and bypassing the first part of the small intestines, have a hospital stay of two to four days. Other gastric bypass procedures may have shorter or longer recovery times.Aside from common risks associated with surgeries like infection, after gastric bypass surgery, patients must be more sensitive to their nutritional intake. Since the surgery bypasses a portion of the small intestine responsible for much of the body?s nutrient absorption, patients may face problems like lack of iron (anemia), lack of calcium leading to osteoporosis, lack of vitamin B12 and more. With nutritional counseling and supplements, these effects can be lessened greatly.After gastric bypass surgery, there is also the possibility t...

Financing A Bariatric Surgery

Although a number of insurance companies cover the procedure, many individuals find that their medical insurance providers balk at the cost. Most insurance companies require a letter outlining a patient?s weigh-loss history and the medical necessity for the surgery before they will even consider financing the procedure. Even with a carefully crafted letter, many insurance companies will refuse to authorize the surgery.If this happens, the patient should not give up hope, since most insurance providers give patients an opportunity to appeal a denial. Most insurance companies require that patients appeal within 30-60 days after receiving a denial of coverage. The bariatric surgery insurance Appeal Letter should include information disputing the insurance provider?s reason for denial. As a last result, patients may ne...

Laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery is a less-invasive technique involving several small incisions in the abdomen through which surgical instruments are inserted.

Is Bariatric Bypass Surgery For You?
2008-11-09 08:07:00 Is Bariatric Bypass Surgery For You? was written by Eddie Tobey from e-bariatricsurgery.comThere are two basic types of bariatric surgeries for weight loss: restriction procedures and malabsorption procedures. Restriction procedures reduce the size of the stomach through the use of a gastric band, staples, or both, and do not interfere with the normal digestion process. Malabsorption procedures, on the other hand, reduce the size of the stomach and bypass duodenum, the first segment of the small intestine, and sometimes the whole of the jejunum (the mid-section of the intestines). Some bariatric procedures combine the two.The Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery is widely accepted as the most effective surgical weight loss treatment available. During this procedure, the stomach is divided into two sections, reducing the size of the new pouch 90 percent, from approximately two quarts to one or two ounces. This drastic reduction limits the new stomach pouch?s ability to hold food, causing...

The Bariatric Surgery Diet
2008-11-08 08:07:00 The Bariatric Surgery Diet was written by Eddie Tobey from e-bariatricsurgery.comAfter bariatric surgery, the new and very small stomach will often only hold about an ounce. For the first week after surgery, the patient will only be able to tolerate nutritious liquids. During the second week, pureed, high-protein foods such as cottage cheese, yogurt, and soft-cooked eggs may be added. After that, the patient may add one solid food at a time, such as well-cooked vegetables, fish, or chicken. It is crucial that the patient chew this more solid food very carefully, eating only a few tablespoonfuls at a sitting.Post-surgery, patients should avoid high carbohydrate foods such as chips, pretzels, breads, rice, and pasta, as hey expand and can cause a potentially dangerous blockage. Lactose is also difficult to digest and may cause nausea, cramps, gas, or diarrhea. Patients who love milk should wait to reintroduce it until the third week post-procedure.Protein is a vitally important nutrie...

Bariatric Surgery Costs
2008-11-07 08:07:00 Bariatric Surgery Costs was written by Eddie Tobey from e-bariatricsurgery.comThe cost of Bariatric surgery can be quite high. The typical price of an operation can be $25,000 or more. Medical insurance coverage varies by state and insurance provider, and although some states have legislation in place that requires insurers to offer weight loss surgery for patients, providing it meets health criteria laid down by the National Institutes of Health, other states do not. This means that patients who would benefit from bariatric surgery often have to contend with providers that have not yet accepted that this kind of weight loss surgery can deliver powerful medical benefits that will save them money in the long run. A patient encountering this problem may have to work with his or her surgeon to prove to the health insurance provider that the proposed surgery is not a cosmetic procedure, but a potentially life-saving operation that will minimize future health problems.Individuals who are...

Personal Space: Life After Lap-Band Surgery

It seems to me that in a crowd these days, whether at the grocery store or 5th Avenue in New York City, people will walk right into me if I don?t step out of the way. Or they stand so close to me I have to step backward in order to breathe.Now, I have never felt that I have such a small area of personal space. A busy street or mall never bothered me. I could walk through the crowd at a museum or a concert without being trampled. Only since losing 110 pounds have I begun to notice how the shrinking personal space has begun to bother me.When I weighed 277 pounds I always felt emotionally invisible; that no one truly saw me or knew I was there.

Minor complications can include dietary intolerance, hair loss, dry skin, menstrual irregularities, or pain. Other complications that may occur include dumping, stenosis, a narrowing of the gastric pouch?s outlet, vitamin or mineral deficiencies and anemia, gallstones, and vomiting caused by stretching the pouch.More serious risks, ones that may need emergency attention, include bleeding, blood clots, infection, leakage of stomach acids, bowel obstructions, or hernia. Additional surgeries may be needed to correct any health problems that occur because of these complications. Of course, death is a risk as well, although the risk is less than one percent.
