Filed under: Medical — admin @ 7:38 am

Obesity comes with the possibility of being afflicted with illnesses. Some of them include heart disease, type 2 diabetes, breathing difficulties during sleep, certain types of cancer, and osteoarthritis. The lap band surgery is known for being able to help a patient lose weight and keep weight off, and it has also been shown that this system may help with a high blood pressure cure.

Another illness that comes with being overweight is sleep apnea. Individuals with sleep apnea may have high blood pressure that is either getting worse or is being perpetuated by their sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is “a sleep disorder characterized by abnormal pauses in breathing or instances of abnormally low breathing, during sleep.” Over 20 million Americans suffer from a degree of sleep apnea. A physician will be able to offer sleep apnea help if needed.

In most cases the lap band system can be covered by most PPO insurances. If the insurance doesn’t cover the lap band, there are other ways to pay for the procedure. These resources can include cash or financing. Most lap band facilities offer financing services. With healthnet lap band surgery can be covered, but, like most insurances, ask for several requirements in order to be approved for surgery.

Weight Loss as an Infertility Solution

Filed under: Medical — admin @ 6:16 am

Struggling with infertility can be painful for not only a woman, but her entire family. Trying to conceive can be a challenging and costly process. But for some women, the solution could be as easy as losing weight.

One of the many infertility solutions to consider is weight-loss. Fat cells in the body produce androgen, which is a collection of hormones that is most prevalent in males. The excessive presence of androgen in a woman reduces the hormones that help ovulation to occur, thus causing the irregularity or absence of a menstrual cycle.

If losing weight is a on-going problem for woman, there are a number of options available, including the Lap Band. The lap band is a device that wraps around the stomach, making a smaller area to contain small amounts of food. This device is inserted using minimally invasive techniques and is reversible. The band is also adjustable, so when pregnancy occurs, a mother can begin a healthy pregnancy diet.

It is important to find out if your insurance covers the lap band system. It is easy to verify your United Health Care, Healthnet, or Anthem blue cross lap band coverage, or ask any questions regarding other weight loss insurance by visiting http://www.lovelapband.com or by calling 1-(877) 919-9997.
