Deciding about lap band surgery is a difficult decision The thought of surgery brings to mind fears about the surgery in general, the experience of the surgeon, the quality of the surgical facility, the post-op recovery and whether you can expect the results you desire Yet Lap band surgery has been successfully performed by surgeons and doctors for over 20 years, and as you probably know, the surgery was developed to shorten hospital stays and provide an adjustable band system so that changes can be made to continuously improve patient's health well after the surgery is complete

The cost of lap band surgery - another worry for many prospective patients - can range between $17,000 and $30,000 These costs include the hospital stay, surgical fees, x-rays, and post-op care Weight loss surgery financing is available In fact, there are some instances when insurance (Medicare and Medicaid) will cover a portion or all of the lap band surgery when it is deemed a health necessity or obesity

Another popular option: weight loss surgery in Mexico Many fear Mexico and believe the myths about health care there Many lap band surgery centers in the United States have affiliate relationships with surgery centers in Mexico and require these facilities to match the same high standards as those here in the U S Patients can be confident that the surgery will be performed by skilled doctors who follow the same health, safety and surgical standards as they would expect at home However, the real value of weight loss surgery in Mexico is the cost savings

Because so many patients are using these fine quality surgery centers in Mexico, lap band Fill Centers are available These Fill Centers offer lap band patients high quality post-op care These centers offer weight loss and exercise counseling, lap band adjustments for continued weight loss and even plastic surgery to help as your body takes on its new shape

Weight loss surgery is a solution for obesity, a medical condition of excess body fat that reduces life expectancy and contributes to the likelihood of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea problems, certain types of cancer, hypertension, high cholesterol, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and osteoarthritis Obesity is considered an epidemic in America, affecting one third of the population

Bariatric weight loss surgery, a term for all weight loss surgery, is recommended for those perilously obese The U S National Institutes of Health recommends it based on a body mass index of 40 Generally, surgery reduces stomach size either with an implanted medical device, gastric banding or with gastric bypass surgery, which removes a portion of the stomach After surgery, weight loss happens rapidly, and long-term benefits include improved health Studies show that both cardiovascular and mortality risk improve from 20 to 40 percent after the success of surgery

In particular, two procedures, the Roux En Y Bypass Procedure and the Duodenal Switch Procedure, are gaining popularity

Roux En Y Gastric Bypass Procedure

This procedure uses small incisions to alter stomach size The surgeon uses a surgical telescope connected to a video camera, watching the surgery on a video screen Although this surgery is difficult because of the limited access to the stomach, it has benefits like a shorter hospital stay, less discomfort, quicker recovery, less scars and less risk of a hernia Patients can expect a 71 percent weight loss

Duodenal Switch Procedure

This surgery reconfigures the small intestine, creating two paths and a general channel The short path, the digestive loop, bypasses food in the stomach to the general channel while the long path, the biliopancreatic loop, transports bile to the general channel This reconfiguration reduces fat absorption and calorie intake

After weight loss surgery, eating habits have to be changed because of the modified gastrointestinal tract Each dietary guideline is slightly different based on the procedure performed Generally, solid foods have to be masticated and fluids avoided during meals Many foods previously enjoyed have to be completely omitted, specifically high sugar foods like candies, pastries and desserts, carbonated drinks, high calorie supplement drinks and foods, high fat and high fiber foods and alcoholic beverages In addition, snacking between meals has to be limited

Recovery rates vary depending on general physical health The majority of bariatric weight loss surgery patients return to work after six weeks, but those who have had Roux En Y Gastric Bypass Procedure often return to work after only a couple of weeks

Choosing a cosmetic surgeon requires you to perform extensive research You have to know the right questions to ask in order to avoid choosing a surgeon who may not have your best interests in mind

To help with that I've come up with 3 vital questions to help you choose the right plastic surgeon for you

1 Are you board certified in facial cosmetic surgery?

Consulting with a cosmetic surgeon requires some research on your behalf For example, not all surgeons are board certified in specialty areas like facial plastic surgery If you want the best results from your surgery,I would recommend only going to surgeons board certified by the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery or the American Board of Plastic Surgery

Although choosing a board certified surgeon will not guarantee a competent surgeon skilled in your surgery of interest, it will insure that the surgeon meets a minimum requirement

2 Are you a specialist in any procedures or are you a generalist?

The gamut of cosmetic surgery is pretty large So a surgeon may have a practice that is largely focused on bodywork, (liposuction, breast augmentation, or tummy tucks) while only performing a few facial cosmetic surgeries a year

If you are looking at a facial cosmetic procedure, it makes sense to seek a surgeon that focuses only on facial cosmetic surgery

3 How many of these surgeries do you do a year?

Even though all cosmetic procedures are viewed individually, this question will give you an impression of your surgeons area of expertise The motto of practice makes perfect applies especially to the world of cosmetic surgery Be sure to talk to a wide range of doctors so you can compare the amount of surgeries performed and see which one will be able to handle your situation with the most competence

Using these three questions should help you avoid some of the most common mistakes made when choosing a facial cosmetic surgeon

There are several different basic types of liposuction, and the techniques may be combined to create a unique treatment plan for a patient Basically, liposuction surgeons refer to the traditional method, the tumescent method, laser lipolysis methods such as SmartLipo, ultrasonic procedures such as the VASER system, and power-assisted liposuction when they are talking about liposuction techniques Each of these techniques is applied, depending upon the area being sculpted and the patient's expectations of surgery and recovery from surgery

Traditional Method of Liposuction

Traditional liposuction is considered a more painful and riskier procedure than other methods It is performed under general anesthesia, meaning you are put completely to sleep during the procedure This extends the recovery time and many people experience nausea, extreme tiredness, or allergic reactions from general anesthesia

Traditional liposuction is a more invasive procedure that may cause bleeding if not done very carefully by a well-trained liposuction surgeon Prescription painkillers will be required after the procedure It is typically performed in a hospital, making it a more expensive treatment option Depending on your general state of health, you may experience a long recovery time -up to several weeks -before you can resume normal activities and return to work

Other liposuction methods are preferred over the traditional method for good reason; they are less dangerous, less invasive, and more effective

Tumescent Method of Liposuction

The tumescent method is usually performed by a highly trained liposuction surgeon in an office setting and requires only a local anesthesia most of the time Because it is a milder procedure, it does not usually cause an extreme amount of pain or bleeding, and is also associated with lower risks of complications

Tumescent liposuction uses large amounts of saline combined with a precise dosage of anesthetic to disperse the fatty tissue, thus the area is numbed at the same time the saline is injected Most patients do not require any further numbing, though minor sedation may be administered

As with all types of surgery, there will be a recovery period during which you will experience some pain and soreness The tumescent method of liposuction minimizes pain so oral analgesics may be sufficient for you Depending on the size of the surgical site, you may be able to return to normal activities and work within a few days

This liposuction method forms the basis of several others that utilize new technologies and techniques to perform liposuction

SmartLipo Method of Liposuction

SmartLipo is a highly innovative liposuction procedure that removes excess fat deposits, and tones and firms the skin at the same time A low-powered laser is inserted into a very small incision and used to melt fat deposits which are then drained from the body The laser is precisely controlled so it does not damage surrounding tissue

SmartLipo can be used to remove several pounds of fat at a time or it can be used to carefully sculpt a very small area of the body Depending on the extent of your surgery, you will walk out of the surgeon's office ready to resume a normal, more beautiful life immediately with a minimum of post-operative recovery time

VASER Method of Liposuction

VASER liposuction is a highly advanced ultrasound technique It uses high frequency sound to liquefy fat deposits that are then easily vacuumed from the body VASER liposuction is used when the patient wants very precise sculpting of body tissues

This liposuction procedure is also minimally invasive, using a very small incision that will often not even leave a scar There is minimal blood loss, and the skin is toned and tightened at the same time, leading to better results after the surgery It is typically performed in the liposuction surgeon's office under local anesthesia, giving you a quick recovery time with a minimum of discomfort

Power-Assisted Method of Liposuction

The power-assisted method of liposuction is a variation of the tumescent technique The procedure is extremely gentle because the surgeon uses a vibrating instrument to stir up and release the fat cells before removing them from the body A specially designed cannula is used, so the incision is very small and the liposuction surgeon can target extremely specific areas One of the benefits of power-assisted liposuction is that more fat is removed in less time with a less invasive procedure

Power-assisted liposuction is usually performed in the surgeon's office under a local anesthesia, and patients recover quickly with a minimum amount of post-surgery pain and bruising Most patients return to normal activities within a few days of surgery so your normal life can be disturbed as little as possible

In 2007, over 456,800 liposuction procedures were performed in the United States, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) This represented a 13 2 percent increase over the number of surgeries completed in 2006 Liposuction is the name of the surgical procedure that is used to remove pockets of fat from certain parts of the body Sometimes the procedure is called lipoplasty or suction lipectomy People get the surgery to improve their self-image and to the shape of their body The procedure removes fat tissue from the treatment area

Before the surgery, the patient must complete a consultation with the prospective surgeon The patient and physician should discuss matters, such as the patients desired objective and the different options that are available to help realize their goal In addition, the nature of the surgery, the risks, as well as the limitations should also be talked about Only when the patient is confident they have their questions fully answered and their concerns addressed should they elect to move forward with the surgery

The Procedure
Liposuction surgery is usually performed in outpatient surgery centers and some hospitals Generally, you will be able to go home the same day The exception would be if you are having a large quantity of fat removed The actual procedure commences with an administration of anesthesia The type depends on factors, such as the amount of fat that is to be removed and your pain tolerance The form of the liposuction technique is also considered

Regardless of the type of liposuction, the basic surgical steps are the same The doctor makes several small incisions in your skin The incisions are about 1/4 inch long and are usually made in areas of the body that are not easily seen The doctor then injects a saline solution, which is made of lidocaine, and epinephrine, into the treatment area This mixture mitigates bleeding and makes the suction process easier

The dissolved fat cells are actually suctioned out of the cavity wit a powerful vacuum-like device on the end of the cannula The procedure is completed when one or two sutures are used to close the incision The patient is then fitted with a garment, which lessens swelling and helps the skin contract The dressing should be worn for a prescribed period of time, except in the shower You will need time for your body to heal

The stitches will typically be removed inside of a week The swelling will start to go down after the first seven days Bruises from the procedure will take about three to six weeks to fade away depending on the liposuction technique used

Numbness is a normal effect in the region that was treated It usually goes away in three months or less Mast people should be able to get back to their customary lifestyle in two weeks You will need to avoid vigorous activity for about four weeks If you have a small area treated, you can usually return to work in a few days to a week People who receive large treatment or Ultrasound may need up to three weeks of recovery time before returning to work

Don't expect to see any real results for about three or four months However, it can take up to six months to see the total effect of the procedure

Types of Liposuction
There are different types of liposuction procedures, tumescent, Super-wet, ultrasonic-assisted liposuction (UAL) and Power-assisted liposuction (PAL) As there are with all surgical procedures there are pros and cons to each technique, which should discuss with your doctor beforehand This will be based on your personal needs and where the work will be performed

Tumescent involves the use of a local anesthetic and a blood vessel constriction medication that are injected into the treatment area Then, a saline solution is applied in an amount three times the volume of the fat that is to be removed The Super-wet technique is similar to the tumescent The only difference is that the volume of the saline solution that is used is comparable to the amount of fat that will be extracted

Laser-assisted liposuction uses a laser to dissolve fat Ultrasonic-assisted liposuction is fairly new technique Sound waves are used to dissolve the fats cells Then they are removed The procedure is less traumatic on the surrounding tissue UAL is often used when there is scarring in the area due to prior surgery The PAL technique uses the tip of a rapidly-vibrating cannula, which loosens up the fat cells and removes them with minimal stress on the surrounding tissue

Post- Surgery
Generally, the people who experience the best outcome from liposuction surgery are healthy adults who have normal and stable weight patterns They should also have firm and elastic skin The procedure can be performed on a variety of body areas, including thighs, hips, and abdomen The neck, arms breast, buttock and "love handles" are also popular areas for removing fat

Liposuction is a surgical procedure; therefore, it is opened to difficulties and problems associated with surgery It is not uncommon for some clients to experience dimpling, numbness, discoloration, lumpiness or sagging skin in the area of treatment Sometimes, follow-up surgery is required to address these complications You should discuss this with your doctor before the surgery Make sure that you understanding if there will be further cost involved in correcting the issues
