Sleeve Gastrectomy as a Primary Bariatric Procedure
Sleeve gastrectomy is a form of bariatric surgery where a small "banana like" stomach pouch is created to restrict food intake. The surgery is commonly one stage of a two stage bariatric surgical procedure. The second stage, for example, might be gastric bypass surgery.
Now, a retrospective study, done by a group with The Bariatric Institute of Cleveland Clinic, Florida, has concluded that laparoscopic sleeve gastretomy is a safe single-stage primary procedure. In fact, the surgery is being offered as a single stage procedure at the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston.
So, laparoscopic sleeve gastretomy may be an important surgical offering for those bariatric centers offering other forms of bariatric surgery. Offering this service could give a weight loss or bariatric center a competitive advantage.

Bariatric surgery may significantly reduce breathing interruptions during sleep, according to two recent studies. Sleep apnea is one of the risk factors for cardiovascular disease and also causes snoring.
In case of obese people, during sleep, the throat muscles relax and the fatty tissue around the neck temporarily narrow the airway. When the muscles are entirely relaxed, the airway sector may be completely obstructed. I read about this at http://www.projectweightloss.com.
Hello,
I'm writing to tell you about our revolutionary weight tracking scale. The Quantum Scale is a scale that never shows the user's weight, only a loss or gain. The Quantum Scale internally records their weight at the time of programming NEVER showing their weight, and continually counts weight loss or gain until reprogrammed.
This product is all about staying motivated and focusing on positive change. Our customers love the fact that stepping on a Quantum Scale has become something they look forward to doing!
Canada's largest surgical weight loss clinic SlimBand, is currently giving the Quantum Scale to their patients after surgery, to keep them positive, focused and happy. This also allows patients that live too far away for weekly weigh ins, the convenience of phoning in their progress without the embarrassment of having to say their actual weight!
If this is something your company might be interested in, I would be happy to send a sample and a wholesale price list.
For more information please visit our website at www.quantumscale.com look forward to hearing from in the near future.
Regards,
William
