Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding for obese patients pays for itself in a relatively short period of time, especially for patients with diabetes, according to an analysis of insurance claims.See above.
A review of more than 7,000 cases showed that the net cost to insurers reached the break-even point within four years. The analysis showed that procedures in diabetic patients paid for themselves in half that time, investigators reported here at the annual meeting of the American Society of Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery.
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.
