Gastric Bypass Vs. Lap-band
I'm scheduled to meet with my surgeon on Wednesday to discuss my options. I've read that weight loss is very rapid with bypass, but I'm leaning towards the lap-band because it sems less invasive. Anyone on here care to share their thought, tips, expiriences?

Yoga in place of weight lifting
Hey-yo! I had the bad, bad joints and running & elliptical machines aggravated them, so I took up a hot yoga/Bikram yoga practice about a year ago.

Any Hot Yogis out there?
In the summer of 2009 I came home from a show, sat down on the couch, and 2 hours later, when I stood up, could hardly walk to the bedroom. For the next week I was in a state of intense physical knee pain, culminating with my husband having to wheel me into the emergency room the following weekend because I literally could…
