El epidemiólogo de OCC está monitoreando de cerca el estado de COVID-19 y está publicando actualizaciones activamente a medida que están disponibles. Los Centros para el Control de Enfermedades y la Organización Mundial de la Salud son las fuentes en línea más confiables.

La cirugía para bajar de peso es médicamente necesaria.
Cirugía bariátrica y el choque de dos pandemias.
Cirugía mayor metabólica y bariátrica Las sociedades y universidades de todo el mundo ahora piden la reanudación segura de la cirugía bariátrica y metabólica antes de que se declare el fin de la pandemia de COVID-19.
Cuanto antes se pueda realizar la cirugía bariátrica de forma segura, más rápido se pueden reducir o resolver la obesidad, la diabetes tipo 2 y otras enfermedades, ya que no solo son crónicas, sino que también son progresivas. La obesidad también está relacionada con más de 40 enfermedades que incluyen diabetes tipo 2, hipertensión, enfermedades cardíacas, accidentes cerebrovasculares, apnea del sueño, osteoartritis y al menos 13 tipos diferentes de cáncer.
Una declaración reciente de la ASMBS dice: “Antes de que comenzara el COVID-19, estaba claro que los pacientes con obesidad estaban 'más seguros mediante la cirugía'. En la era del COVID-19, 'más seguro mediante la cirugía' para los pacientes con obesidad puede resultar incluso más importante que antes ". La obesidad y el síndrome metabólico se han identificado como un factor de riesgo independiente de resultados adversos que incluyen la muerte entre los pacientes con COVID-19.

Part 1: Interests We think of ourselves as some sort of “whole”, but in reality, we are actually “run” by 4 different behavioral clues. Managing yourself for success is an ongoing practice of balancing these four different behavioral influences that impact your viewpoint on life, your attitude, your mood, and…
After bariatric weight loss surgery, it’s common for patients to report that they have great days and not-so-great days. Some days you might be full of vitality and want to run marathons, and some days it’s all you can do to get out of bed. What’s up with this? This is…
I was traveling this weekend and found myself people watching, which is one of my favorite pastimes. I admit that I look at people … I look at their faces. Who is happy? Who is sad? Who has worry lines? Who easily smiles? Who is stressed and tense? Who is healthy…
Have you ever experienced those exquisite moments in time where everything is absolutely, crystal-clear perfect? When you KNOW that you are on the right path, that there is nowhere to get, and nothing to gather … that everything in your life is whole, complete and perfect? If you could only capture…
Take Action There comes a moment in time when you look at yourself in the mirror and take stock of yourself. You peer into your inner Self and assess how life is going for you. Furthermore, you take that a cut deeper, and now look at how life is probably going…
We Are The Heroes I recall saying, “I don’t even know what my life will look like on the other side of this surgery.” I had spent my entire life time dealing with being fat, compensating for being fat, and dressing very well to ignore the fact that I was fat….
“I decided that the most subversive, revolutionary thing I could do was to show up for my life and not be ashamed.” – Anne Lamott We all have a lifetime of hurts, disappointments and justifications that fuel resentments and regrets. Let’s take a closer look at the power that resentments and regrets…
“We all know that life comes with no guarantees–that things worth doing involve some discipline, some discomfort, some risk. We often forget, though, that this risk, this stepping out, this taking on new challenges, offers the greatest reward, and that spontaneity and freedom lead to adventure. That expressing yourself, sticking…

“Our connection to the infinite has always beckoned us. We have only to move beyond the barriers we have created to a blissful and empowering view of reality.” – Dr. Wayne Dyer Knowing the difference between your beliefs and your values can be a little confusing. People use both to navigate…
