new type of surgery

I am in Boston and right now I am watching the Doctors. They just showed a new WLS for the person who needs to lose 25-60lbs. They put a tube thing down through your mouth and fold part of your stomach. It has been used for about 4 years but not approved by the FDA, yet. They use this surgery for other things. Very interesting. I would say to go their web site and see the video. They explain it better than me.

My husband likes the sound of this surgery because his heart doctor wants him to lose about 30 pounds.

Another thing they spoke about was the WLS cards to show in restaurants. The doctors said why can't anyone order a smaller meal.

seriously for small weight losses like that, do NOT get a surgery! The complications from the surgery are not worth the risk. Invest in a Personal trainer and nutritionist!
