  1. A 2007 clinical study conducted by the University of Pittsburgh reviewed the medical records of almost 17,000 bariatric surgery patients from 1995 to 2004. The study found that 16 patients committed suicide, which is a significant increase over the national statistical average, which would predict no more than two deaths from suicide in a subject pool of that size


  2. Do these right wing bigots listen to themselves? Really. One does not have to think about it for more than a second before you realize that they idea that gays “wear sexuality on your sleeve” and heteros don’t (or are they saying that it’s ok for heteros to be “out” because their orientation is “better?”) is absolutely ridiculous.


  3. After some surgeries, such as open heart surgery, you may feel fully recovered but you are at risk when you exert yourself too much. If your doctor cautions you against strenuous activity, such as running, brisk aerobic activity or shoveling snow, you should consider that a caution regarding having sex.


  4. Most revision operations are higher risk than the first time a weight loss surgery procedure is performed. Revision of Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy to Duodenal Switch actually carries with it less risk than performing the Duodenal Switch in a single operation for the first time. This is possible due to the fact that Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy is one portion of the Duodenal Switch procedure. When converting to Duodenal Switch from Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy


  5. Most of the takers will not be those who top the IQ charts. They will take the check, but years later after they get off drugs, they can sue. They will claim that they were baited into accepting the money, and that nobody fully explained it. The state will be forced to pay for fertility treatments. It happens!


  6. Young men get an erection with very little sexual stimulus. But as we approach our forties, fifties or the years beyond, it often takes longer to get aroused and longer to ejaculate. It also takes longer to get an erection in response to fantasy or actual sexual contact....and from time to time, we may not even get an erection.


  7. Research has generated evidence that secondhand smoke causes the same problems as direct smoking, including lung cancer, cardiovascular disease, and lung ailments such as emphysema, bronchitis, and asthma. Specifically, meta-analyses show that lifelong non-smokers with partners who smoke in the home have a 20–30% greater risk of lung cancer than non-smokers who live with non-smokers. Non-smokers exposed to cigarette smoke in the workplace have an increased lung cancer risk of 16–19%.


  8. One of the first steps taken by the majority of those who have high blood pressure is to begin a regimen of prescription drug treatment. Unfortunately, the same drugs that are proven to lower blood pressure also are often linked to sexual side effects. In particular, drugs containing beta blockers and diuretics can cause significant erectile issues among men who take them. For this reason, men often combine erectile dysfunction drugs with their blood pressure medication.
