Every year, over 1,000,000 people in North America have corrective laser eye surgery. And every year, more than 50,000 of those patients suffer diminished vision due to equipment failure or medical malpractice.

With the integration of laser assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) centers in shopping malls, health clinics, and office buildings across the United States, practitioners are increasingly turning to radio and television advertising to help them compete in the market. Chain ?stores? like the Laser Vision Institute (LVI) promote their high success rate.

And even then, the informed consent document is often introduced as something trivial.

Equipment failures, surgeon error, and lack of proper procedure or standards can all contribute to temporary or even permanent vision problems.

And even when these problems do occur by no fault of the doctor or equipment, often proper post-operative care is not provided. Problems that could be treated immediately will go unnoticed for days, weeks,se to twice the rate of other major surgeries with similar complexity.

The resulting smaller stomach pouch achieves a quicker sensation of fullness after eating; therefore you eat less because you become full quicker due to the smaller size of your stomach. You also stay full longer as the stoma delays the emptying of the stomach.
