1300 dollars a month yikes....

At that price people who could benefit from this could justify surgery pretty quickly (at least cost wise)

Surgery is traumatic and the people who benefit from weight loss the most are also highest risk for surgery.

This is likely a very good alternative to surgery for many people.

I said at least cost wise not that it was the best option for every one.

The pricing just seems absurd.
