About Us
The first Lettuce Entertain You restaurant, Grunts still exudes the funky, devil-may-care lifestyle of the 70s in its style, décor, music, and menu. Happily for all of us, the best eating of that day continues to be some of the best today. While there's a huge menu that's as much fun to eat your way through as it is to read, many of Grunts' old favorites spark return visits. The burgers are arguably the best in town. The salad bar boasts more than 50 ingredients daily, from soups to pudding. Giant malts and milkshakes are hand scooped and come in a rainbow of colors, and fresh-squeezed juices range from apple to wheatgrass. Oh! Don't forget the barbecued baby back ribs! Grunts has sold so many that, if put end to end, they would stretch all the way to someplace else and back a lot of times.

Does Linux have native support for load balanced (maybe as simple as RR or IP Hash) multiple default gateways?
It's been a little spotty in the past, but any modern distribution should have that capability. First verify that the kernel has been built with these two settings.
You'll also need to install iproute, which is sometimes iproute2 again depending on the distribution. FWIW a default install of 10.04 LTS should have all this ready to go.
Your kernel has to be compiled with
Multiple default gateways is rarely going to have the desired affect. If one of the gateways is down you're going to lose the traffic that is sent to it.
What are you trying to achieve by using more than one gateway? Dynamic routing, 802.3ad link aggregation (LaCP) or a combination of the two is probably closer to the solution you are looking for.

Pulse conference community blog
Usurping the Power of the Bogeyman
Jennifer Dennis 110000CSRM firstname.lastname@example.com Tags:  recessioin pulse grand bogeyman conference rational vegas service marketing service-management ibm mgm las 2009 management 2010 2,591 Visits
Hoping to capitalize on some clever Internet trend or hilarious current event for my next blog, I discovered something called the Top 20 Marketing Trends of 2009 on Google. This list managed to be both dull yet somewhat intriguing all at once. Dull because it was a list, which I find inherently boring. Intriguing because I wanted to see just how "on" it's predictions were. Did it predict what was obviously already a trend, or did it predict something altogether fresh that emerged in March or June?
The truth is, I don't know because I never made it past trend #1: Recession Marketing. The author writes,
"Expect a lot of marketing messaging related to the recession. Don't be surprised to see lots of offers that "save you money" throughout the year. With fewer purchasing dollars available, how will your marketing message be distinctive and stand out?"
I confess that the word "Recession" kinda makes me shudder. It's like the Bogeyman. Spooky and invisible. Now that I have your attention, Recession seems to say, let me infect you with anxiety and paralyze you with pessimism.
On the other hand, the Recession has inspired all of us to pause and ponder our situation. It is always wise to think, but thoughts alone never saved nor earned a penny and the only thing we have to fear is fear itself, right?
So let's give the Bogeyman the boot!
If you are managing a dynamic infrastructure as executive leadership, security, operations, storage, production, delivery, facilities or communications service, the way to do this is to reduce cost and risk to the business and amp up the service quality and delivery. You probably already knew that, but did you know that IBM Service Management can provide the visibility, control, and automation for your business to lead a successful transition through the recession?
Where to Begin
Pulse 2010 will be THE epic mashup of education, innovation and networking around service management. If you only choose one event in 2010, Pulse is the one you can't afford to miss where you will learn new, proven ways of deploying service management solutions, which could have an ROI benefit 10 times higher than the conference cost.
Immediate Savings, Options and Deadlines
The most valuable opportunities to get started with this business of reducing costs and improving service are only available for a few more weeks. And since you, loyal customers, keep telling us that your top priority is to figure out ways to preserve capital and cut operational expenses, this is one opportunity you must not let pass.
Free Admission to Pulse: Clients Speakers attend FREE. We are accepting your proposals until November 2. Submit a 100-word abstract of your successful application of service management here.
Save up to $600 on Pulse: Register by November 16 and save $500 on a full conference badge for the Premier Service Management Event. Register as part of a group of 5 or more from the same organization and save an additional $100!
If your management needs more proof that Pulse is a wise investment, fill out this Business Justification Form and present them with the facts.
Get thee to Pulse and we can all say bye-bye to this notion of Recession Marketing and the Bogeyman.

This week marks a milestone for the Pulse team as we kick off our plans for the 2010 conference this week. With my enthusiasm and curiosity to see what we come up with to maintain our creds as the Premier Service Management event at an all time high, I did what I do every day. I logged into Facebook.
Sounds like a cry for help and, judging by the digital face that follows her confession, she is truly concerned. That is, until she discovers she is not alone in this situation.
Hence, this social media voyeur has learned that there is great value to be gleaned from lurking around Facebook and Twitter (LinkdIn too, no doubt) while planning an event for 5000 people.
1. More people are Tweeting and Facebooking more than ever from various mobile devices.
2. More people are retweeting and linking Twitter with their Facebook and YouTube accounts.
3. Sadly, there are still daily wall posts that reflect the state of the economy.
4. It's hot out there.
The writing's on the wall. Just read it.

Multiple Choice: Why is Six a Perfect Number?

IBM is proud to announce that Michael Phelps will address the audience at Pulse 2009 in Las Vegas, NV.
On August 16, 2008 Michael Phelps etched his name in Olympic history by winning his eighth gold medal of the Beijing Olympic Games, surpassing Mark Spitz for the most gold medals in a single Olympics. Seven of his eight wins set new world records, and with the addition of his six gold medals from the 2004 Olympics, Phelps has now won the most Olympic gold medals in history.
Phelps has been making waves in the world of sports since he was young. He tied the record for the most medals at a single Olympics in the 2004 Athens Summer Olympic Games when he earned six gold medals and eight medals overall. Already a sports legend at the age of 22, he has been named World Swimmer of the Year for three out of the last four years (2003, 2004, and 2006).
Although he is young, he has already had a lifetime of experiences—in the pool and out. He founded "Swim with the Stars"—the first ever Olympic Swimming Tour that travels the country to give kids the opportunity to learn from the best. He is also a national spokesperson for the Boys & Girls Clubs.
Phelps is the illustration of dedication and passion, practicing 365 days a year. His results speak for themselves.
Rise and Shine, Early Birds!

Politics: Farmers 'Must Get More of Profits'
THERE should be greater transparency in the distribution of profits in food production to ensure that farmers are getting their rightful share, the Assembly's Agriculture Committee argued yesterday.
A committee report on retailing in Northern Ireland claimed farmers were not receiving a decent share of profits generated by their produce.
The report called for:
annual monitoring by the Department of Agriculture to ensure that there is sufficient information about the turnover, purchases and sales of local produce for the general public;
more information to be supplied by retailers and their suppliers about costs and profits to help increase the overall understanding of pricing within the food chain and to build trust between producers and retailers' suppliers;
all retailers to review the availability and quality of produce from Northern Ireland with a view to encouraging local supplies, and include a review of the procurement for the organic, pigmeat and frozen food markets;
retailers who demand high welfare standards for local produce to refrain from importing lower quality produce from abroad and provide consumers with clear information about the goods they sell to help them make informed comparisons, judgments and choices;
the Department of Agriculture to establish a scheme offering incentives and initiatives to encourage farmers to form co-operatives to help them deal effectively with the supply and retail sides of the food chain, such groups to receive advice from the supplier and retail sectors in terms of training, marketing advice and consumer research, with Treasury funds to be provided in support of the co-ops. …

Wedding Planners Puerto Rico
Searching the perfect wedding planner for your wedding can be a real challenge. Either you look for them on sites, wedding magazines or receive recommendation from friends, a good wedding planner is always hard to find because you never know exactly how you can work with him or her.
<-336x280 Large Rectangle - center->
The "Wedding Wire" is a wonderful site, where you can find anything you want, related to weddings. Vendors, jewelry, cakes, bouquets, invitations, dresses, flowers, everything you need in order to make your wedding perfect. Not to mention lists of several cities where you can find the people who sell these things. Let's take for example, Puerto Rico. I am going to give you some the sites of different wedding planners from Puerto Rico, so that you can be convinced that the "Wedding Wire" has it all.
"Eventus by Zahira" is a wedding planning company from Puerto Rico which offers full services (free consultation, day-of coordinator, full planning, partial planning etc.) and will make your dreams come true. Another group of experienced wedding planners are called "Maria A Lugo". The professionalism and seriousness of this company represents its card and the couples with whom they have worked until now represent its best recommendation. "Chezelle Dezines" is a wedding planning firm owned by Chezelle Rodriguez, who has been in the wedding planning industry for over 10 years and he definitely knows how to make your wedding day perfect. Also, there is "AMR Weddings& Events Coordination", a wedding planning company which addresses itself to those who are from the southern and western part of Puerto Rico.
Last but not least, we have "Puerto Rico Wedding Planner", a company founded by Lisa Rodriguez. Born and raised in New York, Lisa has moved to Puerto Rico a couple of years ago and she says that this is her true home. It is not an unusual thing that Lisa became attracted by Puerto Rico and decided to start a business here. The exotic views and the unique beaches can charm anyone who loves nature.
These are some of the Puerto Rico wedding planners whom I decided to present, because they seemed very qualified and eager to meet new clients. Collaborating with wedding planners in the preparation of your big event is a recommended action if you want to succeed. There are plenty examples of famous wedding planners like David Tutera, Gina Sole, Donnie Brown, Anna Cruz or Diann Valentine who have proved that wedding planners are more and more useful in a bride's life. And not only useful but actually necessary, because if we stop to think about it, if these wedding planners wouldn't have been so successful and good at what they do, their businesses would have disappeared.
Always keep in mind that a little help from someone doesn't make us weak, but it makes us more powerful and why not smarter. It is normal to want to do them all but it is impossible to succeed. We may be wonder-women or supermen sometimes but we shouldn't risk our health in order to prove that we can manage without any help. So if you want a perfect wedding, call a wedding planner. You won't be sorry!

For many years they were perceived as only available in silver, surrounded by high maintenance hardwood subframes and above all prone to condensation. This may have been the case once, but…
On the face of it the perception of Grey is not a positive one. Grey Skies, Grey mood. Even former prime minister John Major was portrayed as grey on Spitting Image.
Yet in installations today the vast number of bifolding doors and windows installed are grey powder coated aluminium. Why is that? Who was it…
Building Regulations require night ventilation to be specified to the head of new Windows and Bi-Fold Doors, however they can look unsightly and spoil the appearance of your these slim aluminium products.

Lava finally launched their latest phone with Intel's Atom z2480 processor. The XOLO X1000 boasts of a 4.7-inch 720p curved glass display, a 2GHz Intel Atom Z2480 processor, an 8MP camera, 1 GB RAM, 8 GB of internal storage, a microSD card slot, Wi-fi, 3G and 1900 mAh battery.
The phone runs on a disappointingly outdated Android 4.0 a.k.a Ice cream Sandwich where it was supposed to be running the latest JellyBean. The phone is available on Flipkart for Rs 19,999. To also tell you, the Atom z2480 is a level below the latest Intel's announced Clovertrail+. So we would suggest you to wait till the Clovertail+ comes in, or it's your choice to buy this one.

Hi there,
I'm new to WordPress so forgive me if some of this is simple. I have installed NextGEN Gallery and seem to have a problem in that if I press the sideshow icon, all that happens is a blank page. Almost like it cannot find the swf player. Has anyone got any ideas as to what might be wrong?
Here is an example, just press "show as slideshow"
I have two other small issues.
1) If you look at my gallery link below, you will see that the wording doesn't line up with the thumbnails. I've looked at other sites running NextGEN any they seem fine. How can I correct this?
2) when I click on a thumbnail in my gallery, it opens the JPG in the browser. I like how on others sites it sort of pops out when you click it and you click again to close. For instance if you go to my "random gallery" on my homepage, when you click these, they pop out. Here is the link:
Many thanks for any help you can offer.

just thought i would give a brief update. since last post George has been hospitalized at least 8 times for delirium. He is in the hospital right now recovering from a horrendous episode on Saturday. he gets very agitated and starts flailing and hittting himself. he gets a very high fever and shivers uncontrollably and bowel incontinence. i worked with palliative care on the phone until i needed to call an ambulance. after injecting him with a large dose of haldol they got him under control. they did a ct scan on his head and then an ultrasound on his abdomen. no mets to his brain but the ab scan confirms liver and bowel mets which explains the toxins being dumped into the bloodstream. they are sending him home tomorrow on haldol 4x a day along with his paid meds. they have not indicated how much time is he has or what to expect next. has anyone had this type of experience?

Re: My husband has been Palliative since February... (11 replies, posted in Supportive, Palliative & Hospice Care)
He still has a lot of strength. We went to a Blue Jays game on Saturday and he managed well. He could not understand the scoreboard which is alarming because he eats, sleeps and breathes baseball. He is getting alot of small red dots on his abdomen now and his ascites seems to come and go. So all in all, he is still very stable. Lainy, he doesn't see his oncologist anymore, just palliative care.

Re: My husband has been Palliative since February... (11 replies, posted in Supportive, Palliative & Hospice Care)
Thanks Lainy. His oncologist, surgeon and palliative care doctor all believe this is the case. They believe the cancer has mets to his bowels and stomach. His newest sympton is sulphur smelling burps that could clear a room.....is that the cancer? I forgot to mention that he was hospitalized for 2 weeks in April with sepsis...the symptoms for that came on in only a couple of hours. Lainy please send me the list. Any information i can get will help me.

Topic: My husband has been Palliative since February... (11 replies, posted in Supportive, Palliative & Hospice Care)
but sometimes I think he is getting better. I am so confused. George was diagnosed with cc in December 2010. He had a resection in February 2011 followed by agreesive chemo and radiation until November 2011. He never fully recovered from the operation or treatments and always felt unwell. In his scan of Jan 2012 they thought the cancer may have returned but then said no. In January 2013 they see "haziness" but think its fine again. He was referred to Palliative Care for pain management that months as well. In February he woke up on a sunday morning extremely agitated and threatened to rip down the walls and smash out the windows. I called Palliative who sent in a prescription to calm him down. He took it and went to bed, he then started towards a coma. The palliative care told me that this is the end and gave me the DNR stuff for him. Another nurse came and said i should get him to the hospital as he could have suffered a stroke or a seizure....so i called an ambulance. He as there for about 8 hours and determined he was in liver failure and gave him some narcan and lactulose and he has been good ever since. We went to see his oncologist as they believe he has a recurring cancer hence the feeling of unwellness but do not believe chemo will help and gave him a few months to live. That was in April and while he does have a hospital bed in the living room and cannot work, he is pretty good. He took a weeks trip to Nova Scotia (from Toronto) to see relatives and putters around the house. They still believe he is living on borrowed time but i look at him and he is LIVING! He has no appetite, takes huge amounts of lactulose everyday with over 30mg of Morphine everyday for pain. I know his symptoms are just well managed and it wont last. If he even misses a dose of lactulose he starts slurring his speech and he gets confused really easily. His ascites comes and goes, I get alarmed then it dissappears. I don't really know what his happening or what i should expect. Has anyone else dealt with anyone like this? I have been reading these forums since the beginning and this is my first time posting my situation....Thanks!

Either the ultrafires are running poor drivers or poor LEDs... or both. Impossible to tell if your LEDs are Q5s looking at them ... until you compare with another Q5.
Putting a p3/p4 in saves a few dollars(significant in a 21$ light with free shipping) and its still an impressive light. I gave up ordering LEDs from these guys because you don't know what you're getting.
I have a bunch of cheap flashlights from DX and Kai. They are all mediocre quality (though I do like the single aaa buckle lights from Kai they are ok build and take up no room in the seatbag).
Regarding colour... On my helmet I switched from a minewtx2(very white) to a more yellow DIY (exact same colour as my bar lights) and it was a big improvement. The bar/helmet lights blend perfectly.

The little things
It's the little things that make me appreciate just how much I love my kids. Like the new lip-smacking sounds that Julian makes. Like the way Ava kissed my arm a few times while falling asleep tonight. And like when me and the kids were sitting on the couch this evening. I was nursing Julian and Ava was sitting next to us talking about there being a giraffe on the roof, all the while pretending she was "Flick," I was "Princess Atta" and Julian was "Dot" – from "A Bug's Life" (one of her favorite movies – besides "Annie," of course).

Trincomalee Things to Do Tips by mafi_moya
Trincomalee Things to Do: 11 reviews and 14 photos
Most RecentBest Rated

North of Trinco town, on the road to Nilaveli, is the British war cemetery. It's well worth stopping off for a quick look if you're heading that way. If you're particularly interested in WW2 cemeteries and history then there's enough to keep you occupied here for a while. I think it's the biggest British cemetery in Sri Lanka, partly due to the Japanese air raid on Trinco in 1942. Talk to the man in charge - he can show you lots of documents and historical artefacts from the time. Many British people come here to visit the graves of relatives - many don't actually know where they were buried. If so this is a good place to find out as there are extensive records. The cemetery has been caught in crossfire and bombed countless times during recent decades but it's still well kept and in good condition.
Fishing boats at Dutch Bay
The bay (or rather bays) are what Trinco is most famous for. There are three main bays - Back Bay to the north of Fort Frederick, Dutch Bay to the east of the town, and the Inner Harbour to the west. Trinco is on a peninsula so the town is surrounded by water. The Inner Harbour is the main deep-water port, but all three are used for fishing and sailing. There isn't really anything to see, apart from the fishing boats coming in at the end of the day, but there are always lots of people about and a lively atmosphere. Take a walk around Dutch Bay at sunset and there are fishermen bringing in their catch, kids playing football, women sat around chatting and cooking and so on.
The beaches of Back Bay and Dutch Bay don't quite compare to Nilaveli and those up the coast, but nonetheless they're surprisingly attractive and welcoming and the water looks (don't know whether it actually is) clean and inviting.
Pillaiyar Kovil
Another interesting Hindu temple is Pillaiyar Kovil on Dockyard Road. While on the subject of religious buildings, there are also several mosques (try the North Coast Road) and churches worth a look too.
Mind the drop!
Behind Komeswaram Temple is a sacred tree, planted precariously on the cliff face. Worshippers tie strips of cloth to the branches as a prayer offering. Even if you don't want to tie some cloth, lean over to the tree and see the sheer 100 metres drop below. Unless you're afraid of heights of course! Apparently you can sometimes see turtles and other marine life swimming below, although unfortunately I didn't.
Lovers Leap memorial
Next to Koneswaram Temple is Lovers Leap. The name kind of gives it away but it is indeed a favourite suicide spot, with a sheer drop to the ocean crashing against the rocks below. There's a memorial and shelter, commemorating the legend behind the name. Apparently the daughter of an old Dutch official here threw herself off the cliff when her forbidden lover had to sail back to Europe, never to see her again. The story was dampened slightly when records revealed that the girl in question in fact grew old in the town, married with children. But the name and memorial remains anyway.
Koneswaram Kovil
The Koneswaram Kovil is found on Swami Rock, just above Fort Frederick. Forgive my lack of knowledge of Hinduism, but apparently this rebuilt temple is dedicated to Siva. The unbelievably intricate designs of Hindu temples, with their ornately carved figurines, is an incredible sight and this one is no exception. It's very colourful and you can walk around the grounds. The temple is built on top of the cliff, tottering right on the edge of the Indian Ocean, and there are fantastic views of the narrow strip of land that is Trinco town.
Directions: Walk up through Fort Frederick, along the main road. The Fort is pedestrians only I think (definitely no cars, not sure about bikes)
Entrance to Fort Frederick
The small peninsula jutting out of Trinco town, near the stadium and the main shopping streets, is the Portuguese built Fort Frederick. It's still a working military base but, unusually, you can walk through it. Inside the fort grounds are plenty of colonial style British army buildings, cannons and other leftovers from previous inhabitants, and, bizarrely, loads of deer poking their heads out from behind the military offices. There isn't really a huge amount to see but it's a pleasant shaded walk, and one you have to make if you want to go to see Koneswaram Rock Temple on the cliff above the fort. Although you can walk around, remember it is still a military base so don't go too far off the road and, no matter how tempting those deer, it's not a good idea to take photos unless you ask permission. You can at the temple though.

Gastric bypass surgery with Mexico's largest private hospital network. You benefit from a US based case management team, years of experience of serving over 7,500 USA and Canadian patients, and treatment in a multi-disciplinary hospital with its modern facilities and World Class surgeons. Initially, gastric bypass was a radical surgery in which the patient's entire abdomen was opened up and the stomach and digestive tract completely rearranged.
In the past several decades, gastric bypass surgery has evolved into its current form, a far less invasive procedure performed laparoscopically, so there are fewer complications than with traditional open bypass surgery.
Gastric Bypass Surgery in Mexico, with Angeles Health
What's Included In Your Gastric Bypass Surgery Medical Travel Package
- All pre-op & post-op testing
- All surgeon & anesthesiologist fees
- Dedicated US based case management before, during and after your trip
- Hospital stay of 4 nights
- All nursing & hospital fees
- Door-to-door ground transportation from San Diego Airport to the gated private hospital for the patient and companion.
It is widely considered that having a bariatric surgery is 50% of the solution towards successfully achieving your long term weight loss goals. Unfortunately, there are some patients who struggle with weight regain, usually several years following their surgery. In the case of any bariatric surgery, this can be caused by a loss of restriction as the stomach stretches back out allowing for a larger intake of food and increased absorption of calories.
What should I expect from a Gastric Bypass Surgery
The essential nature of gastric bypass surgery involves dividing the upper stomach into two portions using surgical stapling, and connecting the resulting small pouch of the upper stomach to the intestines using a "Roux-en-Y" intestinal limb.Most gastric bypass procedures today are performed laparoscopically, with the surgeon manipulating specialized tools through minimally invasive small incisions, resulting in less bleeding, less pain, shorter hospital stays and faster recovery times than with traditional open bypass surgery.The modern Roux-en-Y bypass (RYGBP) procedure prevents bile from entering the upper part of the stomach and esophagus, an uncomfortable reflux mechanism associated with older forms of the surgery, and allows digestion to bypass the remaining stomach portion and the first segment of the small intestines. The resulting reconfiguration of the digestive tract gives patients a feeling of fullness, even when they eat small amounts of food.Because the reconfigured digestive tract bypasses the part of the intestines where calcium and iron are absorbed into the bloodstream, anemia and osteoporosis are common long-term complications of gastric bypass surgery. Bypass patients must therefore take lifelong calcium and iron supplements to guard against these two conditions.
The proximal gastric bypass, RYGBP, results in little malabsorption — that is, patients still receive the nutritional benefits of the foods they eat. However some surgeons modify the RYGBP to incorporate an element of malabsorption in order to increase weight loss in some critically obese patients.
This modification, called a distal gastric bypass, may result in more severe nutritional complications than the proximal RYGBP. The benefits of increased long-term weight loss using the distal gastric bypass procedure have not yet been well established with clinical data. As a result, many surgeons reserve the distal RYGBP for very select circumstances.
Combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise, many gastric bypass patients enjoy significant improvements to their quality of life and observe durable, dramatic weight loss, as well as relief from many weight-related medical illnesses.
Are You an Ideal Gastric Bypass Candidate?
Gastric bypass surgery is generally recommended to seriously obese patients who have met with long term failure to control weight gain through self-directed dietary modification and/or drug-supported weight-loss therapies.
Bypass is also appropriate for those who suffer from other weight-related illnesses that may be relieved through significant weight loss. A diagnosis of "morbid obesity" is often made when patients have a Body Mass Index of 40 or more, when a patient has been in excess of 100lbs over their estimated optimal weight for five years or more, and when co-morbid conditions such as high blood-pressure, diabetes, sleep apnea and arthritis are considered life-threatening or a serious impairment to quality of life.
Gastric bypass candidates must be prepared to significantly alter their lifestyle and eating habits and work with a multidisciplinary team of physicians and therapists to manage associated co-morbidities, especially during the first year to eighteen months after surgery.
Gastric bypass patients must strictly monitor nutrition, physical activity, eating behavior and pay special attention to their psychological needs in order to maximize long-term weight loss and sustain the improved quality of life made possible by the procedure.
Patients choosing gastric bypass must understand that the procedure results in a permanent reduction in the size of the stomach and an irreversible reconfiguration of the digestive tract. The gastric bypass candidate should also understand and accept both the general risks of surgery under anesthesia and the possibility of dealing with complications specific to bypass surgery including anemia, osteoporosis and dumping syndrome (lightheadedness, heart palpitations, diarrhea and other symptoms associated with eating sweets or foods with high sugar concentrations).
Why Choose Angeles Health for your Gastric Bypass Surgery
The main benefits of gastric bypass surgery include significant long-term weight loss and improvements to quality of life that come with adopting positive changes to eating behavior and making healthy lifestyle choices.More specifically, gastric bypass patients may expect:
- more durable weight loss than after purely restrictive procedures
- low incidence of protein-calorie malnutrition and diarrhea
- rapid improvement or resolution of weight-related co-morbidities including insulin resistant diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, arthritis, incontinence, liver disease, certain types of headaches, heartburn, sleep apnea and many other disorders
- appetite reduction
- increased self-esteem
- positive behavior modification
- improved quality of life
Possible Complications
Any surgical procedure poses general risks including an adverse reaction to anesthesia or medications; bleeding; dehydration; diarrhea; heart attack; infection; injury to surrounding organs; lung problems ;nausea; pain; stroke; thrombosis (blood clots); and vomiting. Patients should research and discuss these and the possibility of other complications thoroughly before deciding to proceed with gastric bypass surgery.Complications specific to gastric bypass surgery can be divided into early and late-stage complications.
Early-stage complications include:
- Dumping syndrome
- Pulmonary embolism risk
- Wound infection
- Gastrointestinal hemorrhage
- Respiratory problems
Late-stage complications include:
- Incisional hernia
- Bowel obstruction
- Internal hernia
- Stomal stenosis
- Micronutrient deficiencies
- Marginal ulcer
- Anemia
- Osteoporosis
Your obesity surgical team will discuss the likelihood of these complications and what you as a patient can do to reduce or eliminate their occurrence.

LinuxCon 2014 / Kernel Summit. Those also attending can see some of my earlier Chicago recommendations back when I was hosting XDC Chicago.
My favorite features and other changes so far for Linux 3.17 include:
- The ability to boot using EFI under Xen Dom0 along with other Xen virtualization changes.
- New features for F2FS, the Samsung Flash-Friendly File-System.
- DMA-BUF cross-device synchronization has finally landed after going through many patch reviews and changes over the course of several months. This should reduce some tearing and other issues for DRM drivers sharing buffers using the DMA-BUF method.
- A lot of old/unmaintained drivers were removed to lighten the kernel load and improve the quality. In trimming out old code, support for old PowerPC processors was removed.
- Many Radeon graphics driver improvements, including finally having good Radeon R9 290 "Hawaii" open-source support assuming you're also running the latest microcode for the hardware and the newest Mesa 10.3-devel Gallium3D code for RadeonSI.
- As usual, Intel's Open-Source Technology Center has invested in a ton of improvements for their graphics driver code, but two features ended up getting reverted.
- Nouveau NVIDIA driver improvements, including some contributions by NVIDIA Corp to this originally reverse-engineered driver.
- Many other DRM changes.
- Intel Braswell audio support.
- Numerous input driver improvements. There's also Wacom driver improvements.
- ACPI 5.1 and ACPI on ARM support along with other power management work that seems never-ending for the Linux kernel.
- Plenty of new ARM hardware is now supported by the mainline Linux kernel.
Stay tuned as there's still many other pull requests we're still waiting on before the Linux 3.17 merge window closes. Once Linux 3.17 activity begins to settle down, we'll be around as usual with a ton of new kernel benchmarks and other Linux performance data.
