New commercial!

So I'm looking at the tv this morning and I see a commercial for lap band surgery it's got a doctor on it touting all the bariatric surgeries he's done (bypass, band,and sleeve)

He goes on to say that he recommends the band to most of his patients because its much safer than the SLEEVE ???

It then shows a study at the bottom that said banded patients have 64% FEWER complications after one year and 74% less in 30 days...

Interesting, very, very interesting...

Right?! Just couldn't help myself!! Lol ;)

But seriously, the LapBand is the devil. I know tons of people with Lapbands through my 10 years with it. There are two kinds of banded patients, those who've had complications and those who WILL have complications!! Lol Talk about thinking something is a flawed system! Haha Lapband is an evil little B!!! Lol

Your a better woman than me! I hated it at first too, but two bottles later I found myself looking forward to it at night (the time i did my best eating before)

Cross over addiction very real..

But back to Chris Christy, has he lost weight??

Already posted in the cross over addiction forum and confessed my love of container gardening and compulsive makeup hoarding -oh and don't even get me started on sh**shopping!

Haven't heard if he lost weight. Anyone know?

Just wait until Chris Christie's band fails - VSG for everyone!!
