Gastric Band Cuts Number Of Fatal Strokes By Two Thirds?

Gastric band surgery could reduce the chance of having a fatal stroke by two thirds, according to a recent study.

Researchers in Sweden compared the number of fatal strokes in people who had a gastric band fitted with a control group who had not had a gastric band fitted.  The group who had a gastric band fitted experienced two thirds of the amount of fatal strokes compared to those who had not had a gastric band fitted.  Gastric band patients where also less likely to suffer from non fatal heart attacks and strokes.

75% of people who lose weight through gastric banding are not aware that they can improve the appearance of their newly slim frame  through liposuction, tummy tuck and other cosmetic surgery.
