Dr. Billy Chat

[donali 57]

Hi All -

For those of you who are interested, I got this announcement from Spotlight Health today:

Dear Community Members,

In this month's chat, we'll be discussing why weight loss with the LAP-BAND is typically more gradual than with the gastric bypass. How do you determine when you should reach your goal weight? And what should your goal weight be, anyway? Is 50% of your excess body weight a good result?

Dr. Helmuth Billy, a board-certified surgeon from Ventura, California, discusses how to gauge your success and the importance of setting realistic expectations.

The chat will be held Tuesday, August 10, at 6 p.m. PST / 9 p.m. EST.

Note new time! To participate, log on to http://www.spotlighthealth.com

and go to the Morbid Obesity chat page. To submit your questions ahead of time, simply email us at webmaster@spotlighthealth.com.

We look forward to chatting with you soon!

Best of Health,

Spotlight Health

I've been getting those announcements for a year or so and this is the first chat I think I might like to attend. Have you done any of them? What are they like?

This is an important issue for bandsters, I think, and I'd really like to see what a surgeon has to say about it.

I have not gone to any of those chats, so can't say what they're like...

DON'T forget about this chat
