Here too it seems slightly sensitive, with some Ukrainian institutions refusing our request for an interview. Undeterred, and never one to duck a controversy, we dusted off our microscope and set about investigating. Helping us was Serhiy Martynenko, Director of Kyiv’s Institute of Cell Therapy. |

Making a Decision for Bariatric Surgery by PlacidWay
Alice started looking at options for bariatric surgery, but quickly grew confused between the many different kinds offered.

Alice knew that bariatric surgery, in most cases, is an elective procedure, and as a result is not covered by most health insurance or medical plans.
She ultimately decided to look into bariatric surgery abroad and found several possible locations where she could have weight loss surgery performed. She decided that her best options were either a gastric band procedure or one of the newer forms of laparoscopic bariatric procedures called a gastric plication. |
