Ken's post should be tattoed on each one of our forearms, so we can read it whenever needed.

My sister had lap banding. 9 years ago. Her weight has dropped, maybe, at most, 70 lbs of the 120 she needed to lose. But then she bounced right back up. If you don't follow Ken's advice, you can cheat your way around any weight loss method, including having someone cut you open and modify your digestive system.

I love my sister. I would love it if she were more healthy, more happy. Not wondering why, all these years after weight loss surgery, she's still 80 lbs overweight.
