Kimber-lilly 2 Posted August 31, 2004 It's about 50 bucks a share. I am thinking about buying some... Anyone? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
La_madam 20 Posted August 31, 2004 Yes I bought some when it was 52$ a share but as the band becomes more popular and more insurance companies start covering it I think it will be a wise investment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kimber-lilly 2 Posted August 31, 2004 That's exactly what I was thinking! I just today am emailing my broker--he handles my son's college fund--he is very interested in this! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
New Hope 37 Posted August 31, 2004 Wow, never even thought about it! Sounds like a wise investment! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

leatha_g 4 Posted August 31, 2004 Just so you know. Johnson and Johnson currently has a band in clinical trials, also. (I expect my cut from the profits. lol) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Banded14yr 2 Posted August 31, 2004 Originally posted by leatha_g Just so you know. Johnson and Johnson currently has a band in clinical trials, also. (I expect my cut from the profits. lol) Johnson and Johnson also purchased the Swedish band. Is this the band that is currently in clinical trials? I heard that the Swedish band was supposed to be FDA approved in December. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GeezerSue 7 Posted September 1, 2004 I didn't get buy Inamed because when I was in the mood to buy, they had just gotten approved for implants and I really hate the whole "get implants" message, so I didn't go that way. (I'm from the militant nursing mom segment of society and think that balloon tits look ridiculous.) But I bought JNJ, against the advice of my friend who really does do well in the market (He reitred at age 41.) But when I explained that they were in clinical trials with the Swedish band, he was not impressed. But he's not obese. I'm probably wrong, but my thinking was that JNJ had a lot more money in its advertising budget than Inamed...and that we may be seeing those commercials failry soon. Interestingly enough, the JNJ has held its own and made a couple of bucks. The Inamed is doing well now, but those who bought when it was closer to 70 probably wouldn't agree.

Vera 7 Posted September 1, 2004 Hey Sue We talked about JNJ stock about 5 months ago and I bought some shares at 50. in April, now its at 57. Slow and steady. Thanks for the tip. I have the JNJ (Swedish) band and am very happy with my progress so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blossom 2 Posted September 1, 2004 LOL!!!! The first thing I ever told my husband about the lapband was 'You better check out Inamed stock!' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
