    I had the same thought the other day. I know it would be successful too, there is nothing like it out there that specifically caters to weight loss surgery patients. But it could be a broader range of merchandise that also caters to "dieters". books to videos to supplements.


    Pounds LOST since surgery 111
    Finally reached Onderland 3/1/2013
    Height 5'3" Small frame
    Starting BMI day of surgery : 45.7 MORBIDLY OBESE CLASS 3
    BMI current 26.0 OVERWEIGHT

    my first goal is to get to 141pounds, that will put me in the NORMAL range bmi. My second goal is 120, which is thin and healthy.

    And staff it with gastric patients so they know and understand the needs of the clients.

    ...but you'd need to know the needs of each individual. What works for one may not for another, etc.
