Thumbs up News Story

I know- no one has joined me from SD yet, :( but I saw this news story and thought it was pretty good. I'm not sure about the 70 lbs in 3 weeks though......

Hmmmm, I really don't know about 70 lbs in 3 weeks. That's very unlikely. 3 months, perhaps. Can you check in the next few days to see if they run a correction? The doctor will be flooded with questions from people who think that could happen for them.

And while it's certainly nice to see an article about the band, I hat this sort of thing: "It's similar to gastric bypass, but without the cutting, stapling and intestinal re-routing." Um, OK, so how exactly is it similar?

Duh...
