Finding the Best Weight Loss Options Abroad

by Denise

Americans spend an average of $30 billion dollars a year on weight loss medications and products. Some of them are effective while others are not. There are many different types of prescriptions and over-the-counter weight-loss drugs on the market today. Obesity, like other long-term and chronic conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes often utilize the benefits of a prescriptive drug in its treatment, but like any medication or drug, side effects from weight loss medications do occur.

Always discuss the benefits and drawbacks of weight loss medications with a professional healthcare provider. Your doctor should ask you whether or not you suffer from any allergies, if you’re pregnant, or what other types of medications you may be taking. Pre-existing medical conditions will also affect the benefits or drawbacks of taking weight loss medications, especially individuals who suffer from kidney disease, heart disease, diabetes, glaucoma, or other medical conditions that may affect your body’s ability to benefit from weight loss medications.

Talking with your doctor about weight loss medication treatments or any weight loss procedures such as lap band surgery, sleeve gastrectomy, gastroplasty or other forms of bariatric surgery will ensure that you receive the best treatment for you that offers the most effective and beneficial results. Check out affordable weight loss abroad in such locations such as Ageless Wonders Panama, in beautiful Panama or Mexicali Obesity Solutions in Mexicali. Don’t waste time or money.

Insuring the Qualifications of International Medical Facilities

Insuring the Qualifications of International Medical Facilities

Ensuring the quality, education, and expertise of any healthcare provider prior to receiving healthcare services, treatments or procedures is essential. This is especially true of individuals considering international travel to a variety of popular medical destinations around the world. Because of the increasing popularity of international medical travel, organizations from around the world are addressing quality of care issues, safety issues, and attempting to set standards, policy, and best practices for healthcare facilities and providers.

Setting Standards
In the United States, one of the preeminent accreditation and quality service standard setting organizations is called the Joint Commission. The Joint Commission accredits and certifies healthcare facilities, hospitals, clinics, and care centers throughout the United States. The international arm of this organization, called the Joint Commission International, has been working to help provide quality standards of care throughout the world, and since 1994 has worked with health departments and organizations in over 80 countries. The focus of the Joint Commission International is to improve safety of patient care through certification and accreditation processes and services.

The ISQua, or the International Society for Quality in Health Care provides added assurance that processes involving training and standards used by JCI in their surveys of organizations meet high international benchmarks.

Miracle Workers for Athletes

by Banijel Botic | Croatian Health Brand

Just as the Kostelic family is a Croatian Sports brand, so is Telme Selce, headed by M.D. Vlasta Brozicevic, a Croatian health brand.

When you mention the Kostellc family and the planetary successes of Janica and Ivica, it must be mentioned that Dr Viasta Brozicevic owner of the Terme Selce, is an indispensable part of their lives. After Janica’s horrible fall in St. Moritz, when everyone was predicting the end of her sports career a doctors’ council at the Basel Bruderholz Hospital Successfully operated on our snow queen, restoring the hope of her return to the ski tracks. But there was a long way ahead for her full recovery. The best hospital in the world for sports injuries recommended Dr. Brozicevic to the Kostelic family, and Janica spent her rehabilitation in Selce.

Since that moment, the lives of Dr Brozicevic and her associates was never the same. They were taking care of the best woman skier of all times, as it eventually turned out. An unbelievable persistence and love for skiing, but also a unique organism with unimaginable high pain tolerance brought Janica back to the ski tracks. The other member of this incredible sports family has also gone through several difficult operations (even three on the right knee), and one of the reasons why Ivica fulfilled his boyhood dream, an Olympic medal, is related to Dr Brozicevic.

Working in the state administrative sector along with her husband, she soon realized that in the sports medicine she would not be able to realize everything she had conceived in her mind. She then realized the idea of a private polyclinic for sports injuries and opened Terme Selce in her family home. Employees of Terme Selce create a real family atmosphere. The guests have four apartments for their accommodation and the facilities are equipped with the best instruments for rehabilitation. Besides Janica and Ivica Kostellc, any Croatian and world famous football players have visited Terme Selce and Dr Brozicevic. Dr Brozicevic further educated her employees by her example of how to communicate with athletes, who are often in psychological shock in those moments.

Der Quantensprung – Das Grand Resort Bad Ragaz eröffnet heute sein neues Spa-Suiten-Hotel

by Grand Resort | Hospitality Inside.com

Bad Ragaz (26.6.2009). Der Blick aus Zimmer 940 im neunten Stock reicht weit, weit über Bad Ragaz hinaus. Idylle und das nicht enden wollende Bündnertal breiten sich vor der obersten Terrasse im neuen Spa-Suiten-Hotel aus. Diese Aussicht aus der Penthouse-Suite beschreibt im übertragenen Sinne die neue Dimension des Grand Resort Bad Ragaz: Mit 56 Design-Suiten in Weiss und Crème wagt sich das Resort nun endgültig in den internationalen High-End- Luxusmarkt vor und vor allem an eine jüngere Klientel  heran. Das Medical-und Wellness-Angebot wurde re-evaluiert: Das bishgerige “To B. Health Club”-Konzept wandelt sich zu “To B. Wellbeing” -auf 12.800 Quadratmetern. Die feine Nuancierung zieht viele anspruchsvolle Neuerungen nach sich, u.a. rund um das (Thermal-)Wasser. Trotzdem bleibt Bad Ragaz offen und  bezahlbar für die Masse der Menschen: Neben dem Spa- Suiten-Hotel entstand die bekannte Tamina Theme ganz neu: in reinstem Weiss und auf 5 Sterne-Niveau – und das, obwohl es eine öffentliche Therme ist. Auf 230 Millionen Franken (rund 163 Millionen Euro) beläuft sich das gesamte Investment. Heute abend feiern 800 geladene Gäste die Verjüngung des Grand Resort Bad Ragaz.

“Wir haben alles daran gesetzt, um Werte durch Veränderung zu bewahren,” sagte Verwaltungsratspräsident Dr. Willy R. Kissling vor zwei Wochen vor den Medien, wissend darum, wie behutsam das Resort die Verjüngung seiner Gästeklientel angehen muss: Das Gros der Gäste steht deutlich sichtbar in der zweiten Lebenshälfte. Und noch beträgt die Verweildauer der Gäste im Schnitt 4,7 Tage (gegenüber 2,7 Tagen in der Rest-Schweiz). Die demographische Entwicklung und das veränderte Reiseverhalten der jüngeren Generation haben das Management des Grand Resort Bad Ragaz schon seit Jahren überlegen lassen, wie man den (absehbaren) veränderten Rahmenbedingungen gerecht werden kann. Die Antwort ist jetzt da und besteht aus dem neue Spa-Suiten-Hotel, einem renovierten und aufgewerteten Hotel Hof Ragaz, einem modifizierte Wellbeing-Konzept für die Hotelgäste, einem neuen Ärztehaus und dem völlig neu errichteten Thermalbad Tamina Therme.

Welcome to your change! Low Cost Bariatric Surgery from $7500

Dr. Alejandro Aguirre Wallace
American born Dr. Aguirre performs the Bariatric Surgery with stomach separation; known as the Roux en Y procedure. He’s a member of the American Society of Bariatric Surgery, member and founder of the Mexican Society of the Surgery of the Obesity and a member of the International Federation the Obesity Surgery.

Why Bariatric Surgery?
Bariatric Surgery, the definitive solution for the overweight
Obesity is one of the major health problems confronting the United States. It is estimated that approximately 30% of the population is overweight and over five million Americans are more than 100 lbs. over their ideal weight. Most obese individuals have struggled unsuccessfully with their weight for many years.

The numerous diets, commercial slimming clubs, and weight loss centers offering treatments such as hypnosis, pituitary hormones, appetite suppression drugs, and behavioral therapy attest to the great difficulty many overweight people have in losing weight and keeping it off.

Some of these weight loss strategies may be successful in people with mild obesity, but nearly all fail in individuals 100 pounds or more over their ideal body weight. At present, surgery is the only proven, effective therapy for severe obesity or morbid obesity.
