iVital Permanent Weight Loss Experts Appear on ABC Channel 8 Good Morning...

As hundreds of thousands suffering from weight-related symptoms and 30 or more pounds of unwanted fat to lose including "Guiding Light" soap opera actress Caitlin VanZandt (who portrays Ashlee Wolfe (http://www.etonline.com/news/2008/05/61648/index.html)), actor Brian Dennehy and Muhammad Ali's daughter Khalia Ali (http://www.prnewswire.com/mnr/momentoftruth/25719/) turn to the non-invasive, outpatient Lap-Band procedure, Texas emerges as the hub for weight loss surgery, especially in Dallas, Fort Worth and Plano.

This week, iVital--experts in permanent weight loss--appeared on ABC, WFAA, Channel 8's popular morning talk show "Good Morning Texas" to answer questions for those with 30 or more pounds to lose who are suffering weight-related symptoms (http://www.wfaa.com/video/gmtgeneral-index.htmlnvid=244849) including diabetes, high blood sugar, infertility, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, hypertension, breathlessness, orthopedic problems, sore feet, aching back, weak knees, sleep apnea, gout, low energy, fatigue, diminished self-esteem and stubborn excess weight. iVital's Medical Director, Dr. Theresa and successful Lap-Band patient "Erlynne," who has lost 100 pounds (and kept the weight off for more than three years), appeared together on "Good Morning Texas" to discuss the benefits of the iVital out-patient, permanent weight loss procedure and to describe what makes an ideal Lap-Band patient who is most likely to succeed in losing extra weight for good. (As reported in the Annals of Internal Medicine: With integrated patient care, 98% of Lap-Band patients studied lost 87% of their excess weight--and kept it off.)

People Magazine, Entertainment Tonight, OPRAH, 60 Minutes, JAMA and The New England Journal of Medicine all have reported on bariatric surgery, gastric bypass and laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB), also known as the Lap-Band out-patient procedure. The media attention has generated demand for both the Lap-Band procedure and answers to questions about permanent weight loss for individuals who want to lose 30 or more pounds, obesity surgery in Mexico, insurance coverage for weight loss surgery, why diets have such a high failure rates, and which symptoms of extra weight are best addressed by weight loss surgery.

"The Lap-Band outpatient procedure has become the successful choice for celebrities and hundreds of thousands of individuals committed to permanent weight loss," said iVital Medical Director Dr. Theresa Garza. "Lap-Band patients are experiencing spontaneous diabetes remission, permanent weight loss, reduced risk for many cancers and profound reduction in appetite and cravings (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/04/17/60minutes/main4023451.shtml)." Dr. Garza continued. "iVital and successful Lap-Band patient 'Erlynne' appeared on 'Good Morning Texas' to launch our seminar series which compares and demystifies permanent weight loss options, ensuring individuals suffering from weight-related symptoms receive the proper care and information they need to safely eliminate their excess weight for good."
