I have researched the various types of surgeries for obesity and am a personal acquaintance of a top bariatric surgeon. I believe that the lapband surgery is appropriate for people who struggle to lose or keep off just 25 to 50 pounds. People who tend to be heavier than this seem quickly to out-eat the band, which in any case should be adjusted at least monthly.

Chris Christie simply has too big an appetite for lapband surgery to solve his weight problem. He would look into the surgery Rosie O'Donnell had last year. That surgery is permanent; one simply can't out-eat it without risking death.

Even with the lapband surgery if you still eat the wrong food, that which made you fat, you can still put weight on. And if your activity is inadequate you may not lose fat.

As an Eagles fan, it makes me ill to see a governor of NJ celebrating a Dallas win. It’s totally stupid and tone deaf on his part.

Imagine how well it would go over if Rick Perry was sitting in Jeffrey Lurie’s skybox yucking it up while the Eagles were beating up on Dallas.

He had the surgery in February of 2013. One thing about it, lifestyle change is the key to making it work. I was employed at a place that covered it, both in the insurance plan, and also any non covered fees, were paid directly by the HR Dept., to the provider.

It was very fashionable, but quite a few folks ended up being almost as large, only a few years after the procedure. One poor blaster went from 400 lbs., down to 185, but the surgery almost killed him, he spent six weeks in the hospital. The worst part is, I ran into him about five years later, and he must have weighed at least 350.
