Interesting Band article at USA Today

I think they're just saying what we "bandsters" already know, but it's nice to see this in the press, nonetheless! http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/2006-05-01-gastric-band_x.htm Bette

Bette, This is a great article. Thanks for the info. Makes me well aware of the special gift we have been able to receive. Thanks a million. I am grateful! Bree

I am just amazed that someone who hadn't had the surgery could deal with a 500 calorie diet. I am over 1000 a day! But its good to see an article that seems to lend support to WLS.

Hmm . . . why wasn't the FIVE HUNDRED CALORIE diet a success? Let's go to the blackboard! Um . . . because it was only 500 bloody calories?! Jeez. Bette
