It reduces the size of the stomach to about the size of a banana, so you could still consume a lot of calories if you spread them out over several small meals and snacks.

By drinking the calories, milkshakes, things like that.

Pretty sad to go through a operation then undo it all.

No matter where you go, no matter who it is, it's a bad plan to get that close up on a stranger--even with a body guard. ESPECIALLY doing that to a guy in a Chicago shirt.

"Because, F*** you! It's the Chicago way!"

43. TPM: With Nachos In Hand, Chris Christie Gets In Face Of Cubs Fan At Baseball Game
Mon Jul 31, 2017, 08:35 AM

...

The fan, Brad Joseph, told the local station that he originally yelled out Christie’s name when he passed him on the stairs and “told him that he sucked” and called him a “hypocrite because I thought it needed to be said.”

Christie then turned around and got in his face for about 30 seconds, according to Joseph and asked him if he wanted to “start something.”

“(He) was yelling at me. First he told me, ‘Why don’t you have another beer?’ which I thought was a decent come back, and I thought that was kind of funny,” Joseph told the local station. “Then he started calling me a tough guy.”

According to the video, the discussion ended there, with Christie walking away, nachos in hand.
