Lap-band in the news and on tv

I was flipping through the channels last night, praying for sleep, as DD repeated "Mommy mommy mommy" to herself in her room (makes me bonkers).

Anyhow, I came across "The Real Housewives of NJ" and lo and behold, one of the hubbies got a band and has lost 70 lbs!

And while I was looking for an article to confirm that, I found that a Philadelphia Eagle got one as well!

It's refreshing to see this awesome solution becoming more main stream instead of being considered an 'extreme' measure.

  4. Ha!! I saw that on the Housewives of NJ too last night.. he looks great!! I love how the one housewife said: "Um.. I think he got some rubberband or something put around his stomach.. I don't think I could do that.. " I cracked up!! "yep, that's right sweetie, just a simple little rubber band does the trick!!"

  5. I just read that...priceless! We can't watch the housewives here in Canada when they first start. We are 3-6 months behind! Oooh can't wait!

  6. The housewives crack me up. What a bunch of drama queens and I love every minute of it. I have this season's first NJ housewives on dvr -I have to watch when the kids aren't around. And I'm so looking forward to Alex bitching out Jill this week on NY housewives.

  7. Crap! I missed Housewives last night even though I watched the table-turning re-run for the 10th time!

    Hmmm, now the lap-band thing is interesting! Finally the husbands might catch up with all the wives' surgeries!
