New York Times Article on Costs AFTER Gastric Banding

A recent article on expenses after being banded was recently published HERE.

It's an interesting read.  Nothing new...but still worth a read, especially for the newbies.

The best line of the entire article is the last line: "If you are not prepared to make the necessary lifestyle changes as well, then surgery is likely to be a waste of your time and money."

Enough said.

  5. Thanks for posting! I have already begun researching the costs of plastic surgery, but they were costs I knew would come along down the road. My greatest expense has been new clothes, but I love shopping so it's been fun, at least!

  7. OMG! Can you believe, that Barbara Warnock-Morgan is an old friend of mine?? I about spat my coffee all over my monitor when I saw her!

    We used to hang out with some of the same "fat" friends..... we all kind of banded together (pardon the pun!) in the mid-90's.

    How funny it is that we've both been banded now! I'll have to shoot her a note! Thanks for the link, and the totally relevant article :)
