Weight Loss Surgery
I am normally not a big fan of surgery for weight loss purposes, but there are instances (the morbidly obese for example) when the health benefits of surgery can outweigh the risks. One of these types of surgery is called lapband or Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding. Basically, during the procedure a band is laparoscpically placed around the upper stomach creating a new smaller stomach pouch. The new smaller pouch can hold less food; therefore, one feels full and satisfied faster while actually eating less and losing weight. So if you are considering surgery in order to lose weight, do not forget to research extensively the benefits and risks of lapband and other types of weight loss surgeries.

Lapband surgery can be very expensive. But there is a safe and much lower cost alternative - do it overseas at one of the world class medical centers. For example, Yanhee Hospital in Bangkok, which does more elective surgery operations than any other hospital in the world.
