RE: AGN, JNJ Push Gastric-Banding Surgery

Maybe this a dumb question here, but since the patients are not changing their dieatary habits (a given, else they wouldn't need surgey), are they not going to likely suffer from malnutruition, etc. ?

Are there any long term studies on this crap?

It stuns me that people would rather have a doc cut them up than make a serious attempt to eat healthy.

For those that have psychiatric problems, can we not address those first?

I am really not as insensitive as this seams, I just think we all make a big mistake as we move away from INSISTING the solution is lifestyle first.
