So Governor Christy had lapband surgery.

I did and its the reason I decided on getting the sleeve. It's like it was my life on those pages.

Just ordered it from Amazon!!

I am horrible and going to hell for this, but... did it cross anybody's mind that the lap band device manufacturers might have perhaps offered him an "incentive" to use their product? That's the only reason that makes sense to me.

I mean he is a high profile person and they might be trying to get a little more life ($$$) out of their dangerous, obsolete product.

food for thought - don't shoot me!!

Jen Larsen wrote Stranger Here! Great book! I read it!! I even e mailed her a note thanking her for sharing her journey! It was funny yet serious and I recommend it to all of you. She even responded to my email thanking me for reading her book! Very cool!!!

What is the book about?

Stranger Here is about one woman's weight loss journey. She had DS and not the sleeve, but it was very insightful. It starts when she was over 300 lbs and miserable, and then her decision to have surgery, and then the aftermath. Her style of writing is very down to earth, funny, but can also be serious. I related to her in so many ways. Highly recommend it and its a short read. Finished it in a few days without even trying.
