After work today, I am traveling to Philadelphia to meet a medpsa owner that is interested in bringing a weight loss component to their spas in PA, DE and MD. At thier spas, they do body sculpting procedures such as liposuction, injection therapy, etc. Sometimes, people make the mistake of thinking that liposuction and mesotherapy injections are weight loss procedures. This is just not the case. As a matter of fact, ethically, liopsuction should not be performed in people above a certain body weight. A number of cosmetic surgroens will ethically turn away potential clients for liposuction if the person weighs too much.
Once again, I am pointing out that there is no "easy" way to weight loss. Sometimes I have patients make jokes about having the plastic surgeon "suck the fat away" but in fact, this is NOT a weight loss procedure. On a daily basis we are bombarded with so-called "simple" solutions to weight loss...acai berry supplements, belly fat cortisol blockers, etc. If it sounds too good to be true, it will be. To lose weight successfully and for long term, you must commit yourself to changing life-style. Do not be fooled by procedures/products that make it sound easy. But the hard work is very worthwhile.

When is lipo ever okay? Is it good for those problem areas? Does the fat return even with diet and excercise? With Serotonin Plus I've lost a lot of weight but it seems my body has taken a toll from being overweight for so long.
Would you be willing to provide your assessment of this product I was recently told about? I just went on maintenance from SPD and am curious if these have any place in a well balanced diet. The item is Miracle Noodles at www.miraclenoodles.com - they have all the characteristics of a "magic bullet" and thus I'm skeptical of their value...but I am always looking for ways to increase fiber due to constipation issues. - Sue S.
