Ridgewood NJ, According to the Annie E. Casey Foundation’s website, National Kids Count, approximately 35 percent of children under 18 live in a single-parent home as of 2016.

Alba Rosa club ride 1

The history of bariatric surgery is fascinating. It originated from the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery that was meant to cure stomach ulcers. The surgery involved cutting out most of the stomach, leaving out a small part that would then be joined with the small intestine. Dr. Edward Mason conducted the operation on an overweight lady in 1966, and this resulted in her losing weight. It was from this one case that bariatric surgery was born. The good doctor continued offering his services to other overweight people, but the wave of the weight loss surgery did not catch on until later in the 90s. At this time, doctors discovered that the procedure could be carried out laparoscopically, which meant that the surgery was safer. Today, it is possible to carry out this type of surgery, and if it does not work, corrective surgery can be done to improve what was initially done. In this article, we discuss how this type of surgery can save lives today.
