Guest guest Posted June 7, 2001 Report Share Posted June 7, 2001 YESTERDAY THE US FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION (FDA) APPROVED THE USE OF THE LAP BAND. It mentioned the 14 million people in the USA who are VERY obese (100 lbs overweight) can get the procedure done there. I knew some of the Aussie powers that be ... O'Brien and Dixon ... were in Washington and New York this week, but I didn't suspect it was for that. Good news for us ... trips to the States without worrying about finding someone in an emergency. -- Randall Berger Bioenterics Banded: 10.8.97 The Avenue Hospital, Melbourne Professor O'Brien Pre-Band Weight: 149kg Pre-Band BMI: 47 Current Weight: 109kg Current fill: 3.0ml (1.6.01) Current BMI: 34 Excess Weight Lost (EWL): 55% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
