I was reading WTNH.com and they have an artical about a CT man who had gastric bypass and has lost 250 pounds... if anyone would like to read it. It is under "latest Headlines". Congrats to him!!!! beckie

Thanks for the pointer. The link is: http://www.wtnh.com/Global/story.asp?S=3081469 The man weighed 900 lbs and lost 250 so far. There are some good comments from Dr. Reinhold, worth a read. --Steve

Here's the Channel 30 (NBC) article link: http://www.nbc30.com/politics/4288335/detail.html I sent representative D'Amelio an email expressing my disappointment with his obviously uninformed comments, and I quote: "I would rather see people try to do it the harder way, exercise and eating properly," he said. "I know it's a struggle ... I think it's the safest route." This is kind of comment that encourages insurance companies deny coverage, and moreover demonstrates Mr. D'Amelio's ignorance when it comes to the cause and treament of obesity. --Steve

Hi Beckie, That is Benji and he is a very dear friend of mine, I just saw him last Saturday night. He feels like a totally new man. He is very sweet and has such a great attitude about life. I can't wait till the next 250 lbs comes off for him. He deserves it. Thanks for sharing the article with the board. ~Julie~ 370/255/150
