new type of lap band


Recommended Posts

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. (Los Angeles Times.Jan 3rd)
