Cabbage, broccoli, kale, apples and avocados have all been known to cause bloating. Eating too much salt can also cause water retention, which can leave you feeling puffy. Plus, downing lots of fiber -- especially from supplements -- without drinking enough water is a fast track to a gassy gut.
In 2011, Texas and California showed the highest employment for surgical techs. Texas had mean wages of $20 per hour, or $41,600 per year.

I have been a surgical tech for almost eight years now. I am certified and part of an open heart team in Southern California. I started at $14 and am now making $27. With extra call I make 90-100k a year.
