However, the law would also prove to be a major political liability for Arthur. [ 1] The law offended machine politicians within the Republican Party and did not prove to be enough for the party's reformers; hence, Arthur lost popularity within the Republican Party and was unable to win the party's Presidential nomination at the 1884 Republican National Convention. [ 1] The law only applied to federal government jobs: not to the state and local jobs that were the basis for political machines. At first, the Pendleton Act only covered very few jobs, as only 10% of the US government's civilian employees had civil service jobs. [ 1] However, there was a ratchet provision whereby outgoing presidents could lock in their own appointees by converting their jobs to civil service. After a series of party reversals at the presidential level (1884, 1888, 1892, 1896), the result was that most federal jobs were under civil service. One result was more expertise and less politics. An unintended result was the shift of the parties to reliance on funding from business, since they could no longer depend on patronage hopefuls.
A review of the records of 881 gastric bypass patients at a large bariatric who underwent a six-month preoperative program between 2002 and 2006 revealed that those who lost at least 10 percent of their excess body weight experienced fewer complications than those who lost less weight preoperatively, according to a December 2009 article published in "Archives of Surgery. " Complying with Insurance Company Mandates Some health care insurance companies require patients to participate in a medically supervised weight loss program for six months before the company will agree to pay for the operation. A study of 440 bariatric surgery patients between 2006 and 2010 compared the postoperative weight loss success of two groups, both of whom participated in a two-month program of nutritional psychological counseling and a two-week preoperative diet. The 116 patients that participated in a four-month insurance-mandated preoperative program in addition to the standard program were no more successful postoperatively than the patients who participated in the shorter program, according to a 2010 report presented to the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgeons.
