Did anybody catch the report on 20/20 tonight about the Gastric Pace Maker??? Sounded pretty interesting, it goes to the FDA for approval early next year. The entire program was about different ways people have lost weight. Lapband was not even in the program. Too sad, just another choice that someone may never find out about....

Here is a link for the GP article...

OK just saw this post. The fact that this message board is non-demoninational and non-judgmental is the very reason I come and visit and am a moderator.

As a moderator, I humbly request that any comments on ones religious beliefs should not be addressed on this board. Please re-read the guidelines that we all agreed to when we became members. We will show respect to other members whether we agree with their comments or not.

I think Kathy (thebestme) said it best in her first paragraph.

Zan - Carnie gained about 70 lbs with child and has lost 30 of them. She is 40 lbs off her lowest but in comparison to what it used to be, I say well done!

I hope for your sake that God guides the hand of the surgeon that operates on you because I wish you nothing but the best. The fact that you sign your posts "the friendly neighborhood atheist" is bound to grate on someone that believes in God.

I'm sorry to hear you have no one to pray too. I find that extremely sad for you.

And so she said.........I'm not touching this topic again. I wish you well.

It doesn't bother me how Sue signs her posts. And I've been a devout Christian for oh, 24 years.

Since we are discussing what we get tired of-I get tired of Christians who act unChristlike and make us all look so judgmental and intolerant. No wonder so many people are turned off when they hear the word Christian.

And for anyone who is out to convert (and trust me, I'm NOT), lack of compassion, patronizing talk and put-downs do more to damage "our" cause than someone signing one post as an atheist.
