Recent Investigation and Survey by BestInsLeads.com Shows Problems in the Home Insurance and Life Insurance Leads Based Business Models

Wednesday, August 22nd, 2012

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) August 19, 2012

Our investigation found out challenges that insurance buyers often face while looking for the right agents on the Internet. When they search on the Internet at Google, Yahoo, Bing or AAfter Search for online insurance quotes, they get a long list of online lead providers. Once they choose one and fill out the quote request form, they get flooded with irritating phone calls from different insurance agents. Surprisingly, all of them promise to offer the same quote with little to no variation. This is a really frustrating situation as the leads have to handle such calls from the morning till they hit the sack.

Investigation shows this occurs mainly because most of the online lead providers deliver the same leads to a number of insurance agents. As a result, the leads become shared or non-exclusive. Human going through the path of ?leadly? experience seldom comes back to Internet to become a lead again for homeowners, or life insurance lead. Number of Internet lead vendors is shrinking for this reason. There are 4-5 dominant insurance lead providers now as opposed to hundreds of them in 2003. Insurance agents are suffering from this shrinking pool of lead companies.

However, BestInsLeads.com is different from this lot according to the feedback from some agents. ?Bestinsleads is a great resource for insurance leads. They run their lead program very professionally and are an outstanding lead source for key insurance brokers.?

Early Study Shows Sleeve Gastrectomy is Safe Alternative to Gastric Bypass for Adolescents with Morbid Obesity

Tuesday, August 7th, 2012

Washington, DC (PRWEB) August 03, 2012

A new study published in the journal Surgery suggests that laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, a surgical alternative to the well-known gastric bypass procedure for weight-loss surgery, offers fewer complications and maintains the weight loss and other related benefits of bariatric surgery when used in adolescent patients.

The study, led by Children?s National Medical Center surgeon Evan P. Nadler, MD, was the first of its kind in the United States to look at the success of this approach with a particular focus on how well it could work for extremely obese teenagers. The team reviewed the outcomes for 23 patients who underwent sleeve gastrectomy at Children?s National and found on average that patients had lost approximately 40 percent of their excess weight (more than 65 pounds) within one year of the procedure.

?By the time a teenager comes to the Weight-Loss Surgery Program, we know that most conventional methods of weight loss, including diet and exercise, have not significantly helped to improve their health,? said Dr. Nadler, who is also the co-director of the Children?s National Obesity Institute as well as a principal investigator in the Sheikh Zayed Institute for Pediatric Surgical Innovation. ?We want to use our surgical experience to identify the safest and most effective surgeries to help these teens find a way to a healthier life, as soon as possible.?

In addition to weight loss, those who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy saw important reductions in obesity-related complications such as type 2 diabetes and sleep apnea. Prior to surgery, the adolescent patient group had a combination of 64 different complications related to their weight. After one year, the number of weight-related complications had dropped to 22 for the entire study group.

Many studies have shown that the risk of complications from gastric bypass are relatively high, so the weight-loss surgery community continues to seek alternative methods from gastric-banding devices, which are currently not FDA-approved for use in children, to other minimally invasive procedures like sleeve gastrectomy.

To be eligible for consideration as part of the Children?s National Weight-Loss Surgery Program, patients must meet very specific medical requirements that include an extremely high body mass index (BMI), the completion of a six-month medically supervised exercise and diet program, and a psychological evaluation.
