Re: KAK - Banding Interview>Lorraine

[Guest guest]

Agree.. the dr. did not do her research, the saline in and out should have been explained as allowing the food to pass through quicker, not increase the size of the pouch . And the girl, even though very happy and positive, didn't seem prepared. They should have found a blabber mouth bandit who was prepared to really talk. She looked fabulous, which was lovely. And the BMI bit was wrong also, my bmi was 37 and a lot of bandits I talk to have under 40 bmi's.

At least it wasn't "senstational" and offputting. It may give some other poor overweight people incentive to see a surgeon.
