Feb 4th Oprah on Gastric Bypass
Tomorrow Oprah takes on teenage obesity and a few stories on GBP. Hope we don't get slammed again...lets see! ...details on the show:
MONDAY'S SHOW: Should a 340 Pound Teenage Have Gastric Bypass Surgery?
How far will a parent go to help their child lose weight? Our cameras follow a 340-pound high school student into gastric bypass surgery. And, we'll hear why a mom took her 13-year-old across the border to Mexico to get gastric banding. Then, when her son hit 363 pounds, one mother took extreme measures and made a controversial decision. Plus, a former teen gastric bypass patient shares what unexpected pitfalls she now faces five years later. Doctors and parents weigh in on gastric surgery for teens -- is it wrong or a crucial intervention?
Find out more about this show and what's coming up! http://www.oprah.com/tows/coming/tows_coming.jhtml

There is one girl that is going to be on named Kylie that had her surgery done by the same group as I am with. Lucile Packard. Watch for her.

I didn't get to watch it, but I looked at the highlights on the website and it looks like it was pretty fair. All the stories were successes and they talked about banding vs RNY and addiction transfer. Which I'm kinda happy about. It's good for people to start seeing that WLS isn't easy.

Not too impressed...
I for one wasn't impressed with the show. I felt that Oprah didn't agree with having surgery. Not sure why I felt that...but that was the IMPRESSION I received! Just my opinion...
