Hello all , A topic I can relate to . I had the lap band procedure five months ago , down 80 pounds so far with fantastic restriction . I'm happy for those that had the bypass and are maintaining , I also have a few people in our support group that have had the band put over the bypass and others bypass sers that after 5 years out have gained back a significant amount of weight . Throughout my life I have tried all diets , some succesful for a time , never long term . I did about one years worth of research , and appts and insurance checks and finally was approved . My suergeon was Dr. Daniel Davis of Presbyterian Medical Center in NYC , a leader in the field who trains new surgeons in baraitric surgery. I have no illusions that this is a magic bullet , but with support groups , and this wonderful tool the lap band , I feel the right decision was made . My eating habits have been forever changed , and that I can deal with on a daily basis . Benzee

Jason , Excellent pictures of both dogs , pretty similar I think . Benzee

Jason , I'm happy to be aboard . Great site you have here . Do let us know how J's Beef compares to the Chicago Dogs in the windy City . Benzee

Hello all , I visited Js Beef on Thurs on the recomendation of our own John Fox . I was visiting Father and Son for one last time as it closed today for good . On the return trip I tried two Chicago dogs and they were just like I remembered when I was out in the Windy City ten years ago . I did not have the chili dogs that J recomended because I had two at Father and Son . I will definetly be making a return trip down the road and we may even add this place to our Jersey Hot Dog Tour on Sat. Sept 16th . J also had the smoker going , getting ready for the dinners , so he has everything rolling in his place. Worth a visit from my end Benzee
