Say AHHHHHH!

In the Star Tribune this weekend there was an article about a University of Minnesota surgeon who is looking at a new way to do weight loss surgery. This less invasive version actually goes down the patient's throat and performs surgery without any external incisions.

For me, the recovery time and the minimal scarring from the surgery I had in March seems like a good trade off for how great I feel now.

Hey LA!

We've actually discussed this procedure earlier in the year on the OH DS board. I didn't realize Dr. Ikrammudin was going to enter in the trials. He's a trailblazer though, makes sense.

There is no studies on success of this yet and I guess there always has to be a first patient...but uh, I'm not signing up for that! LOL
