As a freelance writer I am asked to write about a lot of things. Something I have found myself writing about a lot is the LAP-BAND® System for laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding. I had always thought of the lapband® system as being something that was highly risky or a fad, not something that anyone should actually consider. I have to admit, however that I have changed my view on the system in the course of my research into just what the LAP-BAND® System is and what research has been done on the system.
The LAP-BAND® procedure is intended for severely obese patients with Body Mass Index (BMI) of at least 40, those with a BMI of at least 35 with one or more severe conditions in addition to the obesity, or those who are 100 lbs. or more over their estimated ideal weight. There are multiple reasons why a patient that meets the above criteria may otherwise be unsuited to the LAP-BAND® procedure, including the presence of severe cardiopulmonary diseases, inflammatory diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, or patients who have exhibited a pain intolerance to implanted devices.
There are a number of facilities that specialize in surgical weight-loss, including the fast growing network of Journey Lite surgical facilities. If you are considering the use of laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding to assist you in significant weight loss you should research the procedure through sites such as the Journey Lite website (www.journeylite.com) and consult your doctor to find out if the LAP-BAND® procedure is right for you.

Looks like we need special expertise advice in over obese people. I don't think simple exercise pattern will work for extra obese people. I know something about freelance writers too. Sometimes, we get addicted too much to the topic we are writing because we will do in-depth research about the title and might become a customer too.
