Insurance Protocols

Insurance companies use statistics to define protocols for the average patient and the statistically most cost effective treatment. These results in rules requiring doctors to get approvals from insurance companies to do procedures or prescribe certain drugs hinder doctors' ability to provide good timely care. Insurers are in the business of making cost effective health care decisions. Insurers often require doctors to get approvals before they can authorize certain types of care in an attempt to save costs and prevent unnecessary procedures. On average, this can be cost effective for the insurance policy. However, for many, those decisions result is slower treatment, worse outcomes, and adverse side effects.

Gallbladder Disease

Gallbladder disease includes gallstones and inflammation or infection of the gallbladder. Gallstones are clusters of solid material that form in the gallbladder. These clusters consist of mostly of cholesterol and can cause abdominal pain, especially after consuming fatty foods. The pain may be sharp or dull.
Overweight people have a higher risk for developing gallbladder disease. Overweight people may produce more cholesterol, a fatty substance found in the body, and heighten the risk for gallstones. Sometimes overweight people may have an enlarged gallbladder, which may not work properly.
Fast weight loss of more than three pounds per week or large weight loss can actually increase the chance of developing gallstones. Modest, slow weight loss of about one half to two pounds a week is less likely to cause gallstones. Achieving a healthy weight may lower the risk for developing gallstones.
