slimbutrfly Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Hey for those who dont live in the Los Angeles area, the L.A. Times had an article about a new lap band type of lap band/new stomach-reduction procedre. Its going to be a incisionless procedure where they go down the esophagus. You get sent home when you wake up an hour later. Medical is even considering approving it for their patients. They feel in the long run it will be cheaper for them....I dont have the link, but you guys might be able to find out more information on it.
