Some people might not support my WLS decision.
Those people remind me of slinkys. Not good for much but it would would bring a smile to my face if someone pushed them down the stairs.

Heard about this a few years ago in the UK. Not certain, but I vaguely recall reading that WL outcomes were not that great. I liked the idea though - pacemaker technology is fairly well tested and low risk.

I am a big believer in doing what works, if the results improve over the 22% weight loss in a year, I would think it is a good idea. It might be something to continue to watch and see if there are improvements in the technology. I hope one day there will be a way to lose weight that doesn't required surgery and is just as effective, but we are not anywhere near that yet.
