Increasingly severe obesity drives up complication rates after hysterectomy, and outcomes continually worsen with rising body mass index, according to results from a study reported here.You found another way to make the rest of us pay more for your sick care.

Among the 16% of patients slated for minimally invasive procedures who required conversion to open surgery, the need for conversion was associated with a significantly higher BMI (47.3 versus 40.6, P<0.001).
Fitness Watch is your site for making sense of fitness advice.
"Truth" has a shelf life.
The shelf life of "truth" is very short in the domains of fitness, health and well-being.
The reason is that so much of what we are told is "true" is really baseless.
At Fitness Watch we separate fitness information from fitness noise.
