Lamictal Side Effects – A Bipolar’s Point of View

Lamictal is prescribed for seizures and bipolar disabilities. It is classified as a mood stabilizer when prescribed for bipolar.

Expected Rate Of Weight Loss After Slim Band Surgery

Slim band surgery is a procedure that is being performed on many people to help them lose weight and it has shown great success. Unlike gastric bypass surgery, it does not involve bypassing any part of the intestine. As a matter of fact, a band is placed around the top part of the stomach, creating a pouch for the food.

However, this is not a quick fix for obesity. This simply makes the process easier, especially for those who cannot lose weight through traditional means. But anyone wishing to lose 100 pounds in six months may be somewhat disappointed.
