there are many reasons why i chose fobi...he has a very strong support group...they meet in L.A. three times a month and many other palces around the country... the first time i met the drs i feel in love with them... about the actual surgery: there are no staples and therefore, you totally avoid the biggest problem with wls - staple breaking...his pouch does not stretch out unless you really try...which is another problem with staples... there is a ring above the pouch which keeps people fuller longer...it keeps me from eating too much at one time... he also bypasses intestines...which causes me to have "dumping" when i eat the woring things...(sugar, fat, milk)... there are other reasons but i'm drawing a blank...let me know if you have any questions... michelle 6-2-98 317# 5-2-99 175#
