Red face Omenectumy (sp?) at NYU ...
Hi all,

I just met with Dr Kurian at NYU and they are conducting a omenectumy study where they take out some belly fat or Omen (Im not quite sure) and it sounded interesting. Its supposed to help with insulin resistance. Has anyone heard of this or had the procedure done i really appreciate your thoughts

Thanks

How do they remove the belly fat? Liposuction? Keep us updated as you learn more.

I've not heard of this procedure. I'm assuming you're talking about the omentum. It is a layer of fat that protects your organs. Some people have a lot and some a little. Maybe they are talking about reducing it during surgery???? I don't know either. I'd like to hear more about it as you get more informed!
