This is a new method of doing WLS. This can cut down on the fear of an open incision. What are your thoughts on this? http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/revision/endoluminal-surgery-revising-weight-loss-surgery.html

Darlene, The procedure sounds like an easier solution to an age old problem. Imagine being able to return to work the following day - perfect. Two years ago when I was researching WLS, the Lap-band was considered experimental by my insurance company. Now it is an accepted procedure. Thank you for this information. It will be interesting to see how many surgeons actually LEARN how to do it. Kisses Annette
