Angioplasty has been praised for its’ less invasive approach to fixing clogged arteries than the traditional bypass surgery by many and it has been labeled a dangerous scam by others. In light of a couple of takes on angioplasty by CBS news this week I want to...

There was a time when I had a whole different view of obesity and gastric bypass. I think the majority of folks still look at the whole thing through somewhat jaded and certainly uneducated eyes. I will just be right up front and ask to be forgiven for the way I felt...

Let’s don’t mince words on this subject. If someone is 40% overweight they are twice as likely to die prematurely than someone of average build. It’s not the fat that kills you, but the strain that all that extra weight puts on your body making you a...

I recently had a person email to tell me they had been declined for life insurance because they had a successful gastric bypass surgery three years ago. They wondered if, since this had come at the hands of a reputable company, they were just saddled with the fact...

Just 10 days into the year. 1/36th of the way through it. We hardly even have our feet wet in the new year yet and I have been bowled over by as much acute denial in this short period than I am in an average month. Is it possible the economic meltdown is causing...

There is a real tendency in our society to brand the morbidly obese as taking the easy way out of the problem they’ve created by considering gastric bypass surgery. Gastric bypass reduces the size of the stomach by stapling off the majority. This causes massive...
