If you are thinking about getting liposuction done, you will have a consultation with a plastic surgeon. When you are in the office, there are things you do not want to forget to ask the doctor. By asking the doctor the right questions, you will be able to be more comfortable about the procedure. You want to make sure the surgery is right for you, and with the right questions, you will be able to do just that.

Most patients assume they should just trust in the doctor and not bother him with their questions. That leads to people choosing the wrong surgeon, or not being happy with their results. There has to be communication between the patient and the surgeon in order to get the best results for the patient.

What could I possibly be thinking? Why do I feel the need to correct misconceptions inflicted upon people who choose to have Gastric Bypass Surgery (a.k.a. stomach stapling). Yet, here I go.

If you’re just considering the lap band system because you’re just a little overweight then the lap band procedure is not for you. Candidates for lap band surgery have serious obesity issues and this is called being “morbidly obese.” There is a way to determine that through the body mass index scale – the BMI as it is called and you’re probably familiar with it.

Thirteen-year-old Jesse Miller returns home today after having a gastric lap band surgery done in Tijuana, Mexico. By doing this, he becomes one of the very rare American teenagers who have undergone lap band surgery.

In the U.S., no one under 16 has had a gastric lap band. But this didn’t bother Jesse’s mother much about visiting Mexico for the procedure: “Most parents don’t realize what their obese children go through. I was obese as a child and I know what it means.
