Hunter Croteau is still getting used to his new body. After all, the 20-year-old recently went through one of the most stunning physical and mental changes humanly possible: In just eight months, he’s dropped an astonishing 170 pounds with the help of weight loss surgery.

Lack of Insurance leading many Americans to Mexico for Weight Loss Surgery

For as long as she could remember, Tatum Hosea made the same birthday wish: “I just wanted to be skinny,” she said.

She tried a series of workout plans and diets, developing bulimia in a bid to achieve her goal. Still, the thinness Hosea desired eluded her, and her weight ultimately crept up to more than 300 pounds. She decided last year that a medical intervention would be the only way to win her lifelong weight […]

Insurance Won’t Pay? Bariatric surgery wait times have doubled in the past 10 years driven my medical insurers.

Eligible patients are increasingly facing longer waits for operations proven to help them safely lose weight that endangers their health, according to a multi-center study. Often driven by insurers, delays in approving weight-loss surgery can deter some patients from the pursuit. And waiting longer doesn’t improve safety.

That wait is not uncommon: Eligible patients are increasingly facing longer waits for operations proven to help them safely lose weight that endangers their health, according to a new […]

Mariah Carey shows off figure months after “Gastric Sleeve Surgery”

In late 2016, she revealed her diet of Norwegian smoked salmon and capers.  And Mariah Carey certainly is still looking like the catch of the day.

The 47-year-old singer looked in absolutely incredible shape in a saucy covershoot for the Spring 2018 issue of V Magazine.  Perhaps her sexiest look of all was a fishnet bodysuit as she posed with her bodacious backside toward the camera.

She looked slender as ever as she also sported all black […]

How to Track your Weight Loss by Taking Measurements

It’s easy to get discouraged when you work so hard to lose weight and your efforts don’t reflect on the scale. Taking your measurements is a better way to track progress because you get an idea of what’s really happening with your body. Many times you’ll see a loss of inches even if the scale isn’t moving.

A new research study found that patients who underwent weight loss surgery before they gained enough weight to be deemed as “morbidly obese” achieved better results after surgery in comparison to heavier patients.

Patients with a body mass index (BMI) less than 40 (Severely Obese) who underwent weight loss surgery were more likely to achieve a BMI below 30 (Overweight, but not obese) in comparison to patients with a BMI of 40 or higher (Morbidly Obese).
