Good news for millions of overweight Americans resolving to lose weight in 2012: the new gastric plication restrictive bariatric procedure features greater weight loss than banding and is device free, and Health Travel Technologies is sponsoring a free medical webcast for patients to learn all about it.

San Francisco CA (PRWEB) February 05, 2012

Will the gastric pleat beat the gastric band for restrictive weight loss surgery results? That's a topic on the agenda for the Health Travel Technologies live medical webcast on Friday February 10th at 12:00p PST.

The webcast is free for patients interested in learning information about the latest minimally invasive bariatric procedure to treat obesity, the gastric plication.

According to Health Travel Technologies director of patient information services Debbie Natsch, the gastric plication webcast series was developed with the input of the world’s leading obesity surgical team, including gastroenterologist surgeons, physician nutritionists, hospital administrators and bariatric nurses.

Natsch said the webcast provides participants with detailed information about the weight loss procedure, including a review of existing patient data from various clinical studies, as well as an opportunity to have questions answered by the medical team.

“In the past nine months we’ve had more than 1400 participants in our webcast series,” said Natsch. “It’s a great way for patients to learn about the specifics of a surgical procedure: everything from how the surgeon determines eligibility, to expectations for weight loss and life style changes after the procedure.”

“The gastric plication webcast is also a great way for participants to learn how the medical exchange system works; most patients are not intimately familiar with the very high level of quality and services accessible through medical exchange programs.”

The word “plication” means “to pleat” which describes the method of stomach restriction. The gastric plication involves a specialized suturing technique to restrict stomach capacity without the need for resection, implanted devices or surgical stapling.

The gastric plication weight loss surgery is performed laparoscopically, with patients hospitalized for 24-48 hours.

The gastric plication webcast is part of the weekly Patient Education Series sponsored by Health Travel Technologies, a Silicon Valley-based health information technology company specializing in cloud-based global patient referral and management applications.

According to Natsch, many surgeons find the gastric plication notable for its expected lower risk of complication compared to the more invasive gastric bypass and vertical sleeve gastrectomy procedures, while demonstrating similar weight loss outcomes.

“We’ve had a strong response to the gastric plication program,” shared Case Director Marci Mauro. “We have a robust roster of happy patients who demonstrating excellent weight loss and remission of many obesity complications, including type 2 diabetes,” said Mauro.

According to statistics published by the American Diabetes Association, 26 million Americans are diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, with another 79 million classified as “pre-diabetic”. Diabetes is the seventh leading cause of death in the US and is linked to an increased likelihood of kidney failure, heart disease, stroke, and cancer diagnosis and death.

Type 2 diabetes has also been linked to lower lifetime income and professional opportunities.

“One of our own bariatric medical exchange Case Managers has had weight loss surgery with a Health Travel Technologies obesity surgical team, led by one of the world’s leading gastroenterologist surgical teams. We know first-hand that the gastric plication medical travel program is first-rate,” said Mauro.

About Medical Exchange International Health Care

“The American health care system is broken,” Health Travel Technologies CEO Herb Stephens points out. “Health insurance premiums and out-of-pocket costs have skyrocketed, often forcing people to defer necessary medical treatments, or hold fundraisers just to afford them.

Health Travel Technologies offers Americans – form the uninsured to t the underinsured to self-insured employers – a chance to easily access affordable health care for both essential and elective procedure with some of the best medical providers in the world,” said Stephens. “Usually at a savings rate of fifty percent or more.”

The practice of global patient medical exchange (also called medical travel, medical tourism and health travel) has become increasingly common as US health insurance costs continue to outstrip growth in workers’ wages.

The benefits of medical travel are being sought by self-insured US employers seeking to reduce the cost of employee health care benefits. A study by the Kaiser Family Foundation shows that the annual premium for family coverage through an employer increased 9% last year to $15,073.

“Health care really is a global market place now,” said Stephens. “It’s a great opportunity for Americans to make their medical dollar stretch farther, especially in a weak US economy with high employment uncertainty.”

While other groups have come and gone, alternative metal/rock band Slapshock is still making music for 15 years since its formation in 1997.

In fact, the band—composed of Jamir Garcia (vocals), Lee Nadela (bass), Lean Ansing (guitars), and Chi Evora (drums) — is proud that they still have the “same people around us, the same crew, the same sponsors, and the same label” ever since. So what’s the secret of its longevity?

“We just respect each other. Wala kayong mababalitaan na kahit isa sa amin nag-side band. Lahat kami solid Slapshock. We truly care about the effort that each member gave,” Garcia told members of the press during the launch of their latest album “Kinse Kalibre” recently.

The band, Garcia added, also respects its audience—which is why they have turned down requests to do television performances so as not to compromise its music.

While TV exposure may help the band widen its reach, Garcia said the the group is happy where it is now.

Middle of the radar

“Isa kami sa mga banda na we can proudly say na we’re very happy in what we have achieved. We don’t want naman na lahat ng tao would know us. They would know us, but I want people to like us. Yung talagang gusto sa amin, gusto sa amin. Kasi yung music namin is for those people who will like us because of our music,” Garcia said.
 
He further explained, “So you’d see bands na they’d go really, really high tapos yung down moments nila, talagang (mababa). So, kami, we’re proud in what we have done. We’re in the middle of the radar. Hindi kami umangat ng todong-todo, hindi rin kami bumaba.”

A testament to this is “Cariño Brutal,” the band’s sixth album released in 2009. According to Garcia, the band was surprised that the album became successful despite it being “sobrang metal, puro sigaw.” The band thinks that it only proved how much the fans support its music.

“Talagang mas ine-embrace namin ngayon what we have. Because ten years is good. But 15 years is magical,” Garcia said.

Not slowing down

How is the band’s latest album “Kinse Kalibre” different from its earlier CDs?

“If you compare talaga the first album to the seventh album, sobrang layo. Kasi, nung ginawa namin yun, 17 years old lang kami nun. Ngayon, around nasa 30, 32 kami. So, ibang story talaga,” Garcia said. “Yung maturity, skills-wise, siyempre, for the past 15 years ito lang ang ginagawa namin.”

They also said the success of “Cariño Brutal” has liberated the band to do the kind of music it wants.

“Driven kami siguro to actually write. And feeling namin, after “Cariño Brutal which was a very successful album, yung follow-up kailangan… right and left job sya,” Garcia explained. “We really made a conscious effort to make a new album.”

Coach Declan Kidney said Ireland missed a chance to kill off Wales before losing 23-21 in their opening Six Nations game in Dublin.

“It is extremely disappointing. We had a lead early in the second half but we did not build on it,” said Kidney.

“When we do press ahead we have to go for the jugular. We are going to have to look at being more ruthless.”

Skipper Paul O'Connell said: “We put ourselves in with a chance to win but we did not close it out.”

O'Connell conceded late errors had been Ireland's downfall.

“Two mistakes, one by me and one by Stephen Ferris cost us eight points.

“With five minutes to go, you would have fancied us to win it but we did not take the chance.

“We have them too much of the ball and that is something you cannot do against Wales.

“It is going to be tough, the six-day turnaround for the France game.

“We have the quality and experience but have to put it together for 80 minutes and not play in fits and starts. You cannot do that against quality sides.”

The state took action against Dr. Zannos Grekos because of the death of a 69-year-old breast cancer patient April 4, 2010, after undergoing the treatment at his Bonita Springs practice, at 9500 Bonita Beach Road, Suite 310.

BONITA SPRINGS — Dr. Zannos Grekos may not have an attorney representing him at a hearing next month against a state complaint that he performed an unauthorized stem cell procedure on a patient who later died.

Or maybe the Bonita Springs cardiologist will have new counsel for the three-day administrative hearing scheduled to begin March 20.

His original attorney, Greg Chaires of Orlando, withdrew from the case Jan. 24, less than two months before the hearing. He's been Grekos' attorney since the state filed an administrative complaint against the doctor a year ago.

Grekos couldn't be reached for comment at his practice, Regenocyte Therapeutic, 9500 Bonita Beach Road, Suite 310.

Chaires stated in his withdrawal notice to the judge that he had good cause to stop representing him, but didn't elaborate.

Florida health department spokeswoman Jennifer Hirst said this past week that Grekos has two weeks to hire a new attorney “and regardless of whether he does or not, the trial date will not change.”

The case, which stems from events in early 2010, culminated a year later on Feb. 22, 2011, when the health department imposed an emergency restriction against his license. The restriction prohibits him from doing any procedures with bone marrow or stem cells in his practice.

If the administrative law judge sides with the state, Grekos could face sanctions or permanent restriction or revocation of his license.

At issue was Grekos' treatment of a 69-year-old woman who went to him for a consult on Feb. 25, 2010, for numbness and tingling in her arms and legs after chemotherapy.

Grekos ordered imaging of her carotid arteries and her brain and later injected her own aspirated bone marrow into her cerebral circulatory system.

At home that evening, she fell and was hospitalized. She had suffered a severe brain stem injury and was taken off life support on April 2, 2010.

Licensed in Florida since 1992, Grekos' cardiology practice in recent years has focused more on stem cell therapy to repair damaged heart muscle, lungs and other tissue.

He sends a sample of a patient's lung to Israel to cultivate new stem cells and the blood gets sent to a clinic or hospital in the Dominican Republic. The patient travels to the Dominican Republic, where the stem cells are injected into the damaged tissue.

Grekos has established a relationship with doctors and clinicians in the Dominican Republic who do the injections on his behalf; he isn't licensed to practice medicine there.

The case has captured widespread attention among Grekos' supporters who swear their once-chronic illnesses have undergone dramatic improvement since having the therapy through him. Detractors say he is taking advantage of a vulnerable population with congestive heart failure, lung failure and other illnesses for which conventional treatments no longer are effective.
