AGN the chart is looking good,
I need one of these Allergan Inc.’s Lap-Band weight-loss device, wink
The Lap-Band is implanted around the upper part of the stomach through laparoscopic incisions that are less invasive than gastric-bypass or stomach-stapling surgeries. The device is approved for people who are at least 100 pounds (45 kilograms) overweight, have a body mass index of at least 40, or have a BMI of at least 35 with obesity-related conditions such as heart problems.

A BMI of 40 is about equivalent to a 5-foot 9-inch (175- centimeter) person who weighs 270 pounds, according to the U.S. National Institutes of Health, based in Bethesda, Maryland. The index, used to estimate what constitutes a healthy weight based on an individual’s height, is weight in pounds times 703 divided by the square of height in inches.
