		<description><![CDATA[The concept of smaller, thinner laparoscopic tools has been an idealized, but unrealized prospect for many years since the advent of laparoscopic surgery. Some prominent manufacturers of surgical instruments have created micro-laparoscopic instruments in the past, but they did not perform to the standard that bariatric surgeons require. 

The most common complaints were how the extremely thin instruments would bend under the stress of the patient's fat and muscle tissue. However the advent of more resilient titanium and ceramic combinations has finally made micro-laparoscopic surgery possible, and select surgeons, such as Los Angeles's Dr. Michael Feiz and Dr. Monali Misra, are starting to provide this innovative micro-lap surgery for eligible patients.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[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.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[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. Like a fat lamb to the slaughter I will try to make the world listen. Admittedly, I am weary of being judged. Thus, I will vainly ask you to forget what you may have assumed. For just a few moments, dare to see the world from my view. 

Have you ever thought about why the mere mention of Gastric Bypass Surgery causes superiority to ooze out from every pore of 'fit' society? We have all seen it. A Diet Guru, a News Anchor or a Talk Show Host will say, "Next we are going to meet Barbie Beautiful who lost half her body size." Then they add, "without pills or surgery." ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you're considering lap band surgery or just beginning to think about lap band surgery as a solution to your weight problems and wondering how much weigh you can lose, I will try to answer this in this short article. This is one of the questions I'm most often asked along with the cost.

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.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[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. I did not want my son to suffer the same tribulations of being overweight," she says. 

"Jesse weighed 320 pounds and would have gained 50 to 75 additional pounds in the next six months, and that would have affected his health a lot.]]></description>
