Link To Website For Loads Of Info!

I was just reading this surgeon's site and while it contains promo's for his Clinic, the information was spot on about:

When to fill/unfill

Band slippage

What "restriction" is and isn't

etc.

Here's a link to those of you who don't know how to tell if you need a fill.

Fish around his page and you'd be surprised how much you could learn! I did.

Excellent info. I hope others read it too!

I'm hoping the newbies, or even those who don't remember (like me on some issues) will check out his site because he really spells things out so clearly. And I see so much misinformation floating around here on LBT. It could help so many...

I was talking about this with my dietitian this AM. She says, it's a fact that people only retain 30% of info given to them.

This is a great source to go over.

Plus, LBT.com fills in a lot too.

Thanks for sharing!

Wanted to add that it is very beneficial and detailed. I have referred to the site a few times since Oct.

Since my silly brain can only hold so much, I too refer to that website on a fairly regular basis.
