Pat, I looked at this and had two feelings. #1 was, thank goodness, finally

doctors in the health care system will look more seriously about

obesity....and hopefully medical insurance will pay for additional help. #2

was my own doubt as to dietician's, physiological help, etc. For some, I'm

sure it will help. For me, who has had this help numerous times, it's

failed, which is why I had the surgery.
