Many people in this situation are faced with the dangerous dilemma of gaining the weight back that they lost, or undergoing another GBP (which some have estimated at a 1 in 200 mortality rate). Now, a non-invasive procedure places a band on the inside of the stomach, re-shrinking the stomach, using blue plastic staples. This procedure is estimated to have only a 1 in 10,000 mortality rate! This is great news! I will keep the information current on this site. Check back for updates; rumor has it that soon the procedure will be available even for those who have never had GBP surgery.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6320596196222174-7978734338129179374?l=stomaphyx.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Davidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01837034303851297518noreply@blogger.com0
