…alternatives to losing weight from exercise to diet to pills to gastroplasty…

Also AGN’s LapBand and JNJ’s Realize, which are safer than gastric bypass and work almost as well.

p.s. The petition is indeed pathetic, but such is the mindset of the posters on another message board who have been promoting it.

Anyone involved with or signing this petition (be it Doctor or other) is only driven by a Lorcaserin/Eisai or somekinda pharma payoff or ROI and has no concern for the "lil' fat kid" whatsoeva!!!

Ad hominem arguments are pathetic.

They are also illogical.

I am a practicing physician who treats the "lil fat kids" you denigrate.

I have no interest or position in ARNA, as I have stated numerous times in the past here.

I wish to see the drug approved for all those "lil fat kids."

What is your goal here?
