I wasn't impressed. 3 people were lap band, but some of the comments they made were so unreal. The one guy who was 16 who had bypass was a good candidate in my opinion and was the most "realistic" to me. The other ones sugar coated it. There was one girl who was on the oprah show a few years ago and has now had transfer addiction to alcohol, so that was a good discussion.

Oprah still doesn't get it. Those who don't know a lot about the 2 surgeries would be confused after watching the show and being as it was teens, even more controvercial. Dr Oz was good, however they really didn't get into the meat and potatoes of it...
