Bariatric surgery

Interested in bariatric surgery? The medical staff for our Well Beginnings program at Houston Northwest Medical Center wants to help those who are severely overweight or morbidly obese explore their options.

Bariatric surgery changes the anatomy of the digestive system to limit the amount of food that is consumed and digested. If your body mass index (BMI) is over 40, you may be a candidate for
this procedure.

Have questions? Ask us. Want to know what this surgery is like, before and after? Read our patient success stories. Looking for people to share your experience with? Write something on our wall or discussion boards.

Ultimately, we'd like to meet you and customize your experience. Make sure to mark your calendar with some upcoming informational seminar dates we'll advertise here.

While some weight rebound may occur, many patients may keep off roughly 100 pounds of the weight they lost over the long term. As each case is different and must be independently evaluated and managed, actual weight loss results vary.
The surgery may resolve or improve some complications associated with being overweight, including diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, joint pain, and incontinence. Surgery also may improve mobility and quality of life for obese people.

Bariatric surgeries are not without severe risks, including death, and should only be considered as a last resort for weight loss. Weight loss varies according to the individual. This surgery is designed for those with a body mass index equal to or greater than 40, or equal to or greater than 35 with serious co-morbidities.
Advanced Bariatric Surgery is serving the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex under the care of fellowship-trained bariatric and cosmetic plastic surgeon, Dr. Clayton Frenzel.
Dr. Frenzel is one of only a handful of surgeons in the country that is both a fellowship-trained bariatric surgeon and a fellowship-trained cosmetic plastic surgeon. He specializes in bariatric surgery and post-bariatric reconstructive cosmetic plastic surgery.

As the only bariatric surgeon in the D/FW area that is dual fellowship-trained, he can take the patient through the complete transforma
tion, from the pre-bariatric surgery phase, through the bariatric surgery and finally, if they need it, the post-bariatric face and body contouring cosmetic plastic surgery.

Blue Moon 2012

Blue Moon 2012: August To Bring Two Full Moons, an Astronomical Rarity

The first of the two full moons occurs tonight (Aug. 1st). This will be a lunar preview for a "blue moon" rising at the end of Aug. The moon will reach its full phase at 11:27 p.m. EDT tonight (03:27 GMT on Aug. 2nd). It returns big and bright as a full blue moon, Aug 31st. Night sky observers won't have a chance to see two full moons in a single month again until July 2015.

August is the 8th month and holds an 8th numeric vibration. This number represents accomplishments and achievements in money, business, finance, and entrepreneurship. However, it’s best to wait until after August 8 and the passing of the Mercury Retrograde to enter into any financial or career changing endeavor.

August 2012 will feature not 1 but 2 full moons. The full moon occurs once every 29.5 days. This essentially means that there is one full moon every month. However, as we know, every month but February has at least 30 days in it, which presents the potential for two full moons in a month.

August 2012 - is one of these unique months, which will have two full moons. There will be a full moon on August 2nd, and then another full moon on August 31st.

So those of us whom are superstitious in regards to full moons will have two special days in August of 2012.

The term Blue Moon can refer to the second full moon in a given month. When people say "once in a blue moon" they are speaking to the rarity of the occurrence of a second moon happening in the same given month.

Wow!! This is exciting!! Right as so many changes are happening in this world... Things are getting crazy around here!! Once in a while we need to take a moment to just breathe, look up at the amazing night sky, and remember that everything will fall into place at the right time. Thanks for tagging! :)
