My wife works for UPMC(University of Pittsburgh Medical Center). Her field is in research. Theyre starting a study where they are going to cover for people have Lapband, Bypass and study results between these two and regular diet. The study isnt started yet but I figured it might not hurt to contact them to find out about it. They are one of the top medical facilities in the country. My wife will not be affiliated with this study. Its still in the planning stage, she told me about it yesterday. I had my surgery through UPMC and was very impressed by everyone I dealt with. They are doing a study where they put a balloon into the stomach and inflate it to take up space to limit portions. The one recipient was interviewed and lost 30 some pounds in 2-3 months. The study might be over now. They are very active in this field(weightloss) and have the latest technology.
