    Default "Weight Loss is Never Easy: Bariatric surgery requires long-term lifestyle changes"

    My mom clipped this article for me from this past Monday's newspaper - the Courier Post, based out of southern New Jersey. It's all something we know already, that bariatric surgery (this article specifically mentions the lap band) is a tool, and not a cure-all. But I thought this was really a great article for talking to your friends and loved ones about what the surgery is, and why you've decided to go down that path.

    (Can't post the link yet, since I'm still too much of a newb!) However, you can find it on the Courier Post Online by searching 'weight loss' - the article was posted to the website March 31, 2013.
