RIVERSIDE, CA - August 7, 2006 - With obesity at an all-time high
In the U.S., an increasing number of severely obese Americans are
opting for the latest in permanent weight loss: lap band weight
loss surgery. This is a 20-minute, minimally invasive procedure
that can be easily reversed. This form of weight loss surgery is
explained in the book, "Say Goodbye to Obesity" (Trafford
Publishing, http://www.saygoodbyetoobesity.com, 2006, ISBN
141207052X, .99).
Just as medical tourism is booming throughout the world, with
consumers seeking lower-cost, but not lower care, alternatives to
US medicine, patients are flocking to Mexico for the USDA-
approved Lap Band surgery. "Doctors in Mexico have been
performing this non-invasive surgery for years with outstanding
results," said Claudette Tapocik, co-author of "Say Goodbye to
Obesity." Patients can even schedule surgery through Tapocik's
website, http://www.saygoodbyetoobesity.com "Because the Lap Band
is removable, adjustable, and does not permanently alter the
anatomy, it provides an option for patients who might not
otherwise consider surgery for the treatment of obesity."
Lap Band surgery typically lasts about 20 minutes, includes a
shorter hospital stay than that required by gastric bypass
surgery, and has no effect on the absorption of nutrients. "These
advantages, combined with the recognized efficacy of the surgery,
spurred us to provide consumers with all the information they
need to make a sound decision about bariatric surgery," said
Tapocik.
"Say Goodbye to Obesity" is written by Tapocik and Marie Alkire,
Ph.D., both of whom have had Lap Band surgery. Their experiences
inform the narrative of the book, which is an easy to read
explanation of the weight loss surgery process. "We take a
comprehensive look at researching the decision to have weight
loss surgery, where to look for information, how to locate a
certified bariatric surgeon, how to prepare for the insurance
approval or the costs associated with private payment, and what
to expect after you have had the surgery," said Tapocik.
