Many roads to the same results...you research and decide wtih your doctor which course is the best. The research does support that procedures that are only one type aren't as effective as the combination procedures for the majority of people. As the research into obesity continues, newer techniques will come about. Only time will determine which ones are themost effective. It would be nice to see that there's a menu o services to choose from that is based on your individual needs and personality. Alas, insurance is a lump sum of what works and don't take into consideration how we are different. Lap-Band does work for some. The mini-bypass or sleeve may work best for another. Weight Watchers and Jenny Craig work for a different group. Most of us are limited by what the insurance will pay for. Many only offer one choice. If you're fortunate enough to have a choice, then research away, compare what's out there, and make the best informed choice that you possibly can.

It also aired on my local station in this area. From what he said they get rid of the part of the stomach that tells you you are hungry....( or something like that)
