 Thanks for the info!  I am going to apply!  

great, I did one of these studies too when I had my RNY.  It was fun and the $$ made it worth my time.

I am currently in the study... It is not much problems and you earn good $$.  IF you ask there are other studies you can get involved in.  I am saving up for a kayak.

Do they offer any studies for the bandsters?
