Radical as in "Cool, Dude!" 80's style maybe.

Thank you for this. My cousin is pushing 500 pounds and a few weeks ago he said he didnt think surgery was an option for him he wanted to do it himself, but yesterday he saw my after pics and started asking about surgery so i am going to share this with him so maybe he can get some help too.

I'll have to DVR that show. Even with the extra energy, it's hard to stay up that late when you get up @ 5:30 AM A co-worker said she saw a segment about the VSG on Good Morning America today and it was very interesting. Thanks for sharing the 411, John.

Thanks for sharing the links JJ.

For $12,000 I sure as heck would've wanted to stay at least 1-2 nights in the hospital. Can't believe this Dr Treen is sending patients home 4 hours after surgery! Craziness! I'm so glad we had great hospital & nursing care to re-couperate a bit before leaving. I had more questions come up that day after the anesthetic fog lifted and I was so glad to have the medical staff there to answer them, vs heading home and having to follow up after.
