I thought this was an interesting article. If he can get the surgery and take the beating he does week in and week out regular guys and gals should be able to do anything they want with the lap band.

Eagles Notebook: Eagles' Jean-Gilles has lap-band surgery to lose weight | Philadelphia Daily News | 05/01/2010

Good to see. I like his response though. He stated it was for his future beyond football.. nice to see he looks beyond that.

Hi Chris,

Congrats on you weight loss. How long did it take?:confused:
