Lauderhill, Florida (PRWEB) September 24, 2009 -- With a staggering 34% of the US population now classified as obese by the Center for Disease Control (CDC), severe health concerns such as diabetes, heart disease, hypertension (high blood pressure), osteoarthritis, sleep apnea and others, have compounded over the years resulting into exorbitant medical costs nationwide. As many health experts across the US are focusing on the importance of taking measures that offer long-term control over obesity, the newest LAP-BAND® System from Strax Rejuvenation® is now available as a service to the South Florida patient population.

According to The National Center for Health Statistics, the percentage of obese population has gone past the percentage of people who are "just" overweight. The report also says nearly 6% of the people are excessively obese. A recent study entitled "Fat Summit" by CDC, finds an appalling prevalence of obesity, which has shown a meteoric rise during 1998-2008. While obesity related medical costs accounted for 9.1% of all US medical costs, obese people spent as much as 42% more than people of normal weight on medical costs in 2006.

These survey results are indicative of an approaching and potential national health care crisis. The LAP-BAND® System used by Strax Rejuvenation® promises to be the best option for achieving long-term success for durable excess weight loss. The LAP-BAND® system is minimaly invasive weight loss surgery performed as an outpatient procedure. Strax Rejuvenation® is offering the LAP-BAND® procedure to patients at a tremendous cost savings as compared to existing providers in the market.

The LAP-BAND® System - How it Works, and Why it Actually Pays For Itself?
Millions of Americans suffering from excessive weight problems have tried diet, fitness, medications and supervised weight loss programs to treat their obesity. However, clinical studies have shown they do not achieve or maintain desired results. The LAP-BAND® System procedure offered by Strax Rejuvenation® is an advanced gastric banding system that helps patients control their eating portions. Weight loss is progressively consistent by reducing the amount of food their stomach can hold at one time. In other words, the The LAP-BAND® System helps the patients control their food intake, helping them attain long-term and sustainable weight loss. The world wide popularity of the LAP-BAND® System can also be attributed to simple treatment procedures, a minimally invasive surgical approach with tiny incisions and minimal scarring, virtually eliminating post-surgical pain while patients benefit from much a faster recovery.

As per the CDC estimates, medical costs of obesity are forecasted to climb to an astounding figure of $147 billion per year by 2008, or $1,250 per American household in terms of taxes and medical insurances. The LAP-BAND® system often eliminates or reduces the co-morbidities or diseases associated with obese people thereby eliminating the costs for their medications. In addition, since food intake is drastically reduced, grocery and restaurant costs are reduced. The LAP-BAND® system also offers patients tax deduction benefits in most income categories. Combining these cost saving benefits, the LAP-BAND® system pays for itself in a matter of months.

Considering the affordable costs of The LAP-BAND® System from Strax Rejuvenation®, a lasting solution is now available for many weight challenged Americans.
