Did anyone see the clips of Fern Britton, and her gastric band?

These were both posted on a different forum, so I took the liberty of borrowing them to post here.

I think all bandsters should have the opportunity to view these.

and Fern's comments

My mother was telling me about how all of a sudden Fern admitted to getting a lap band and that she is taking flack for it now! Who cares if she did or didn't, the point is she did loose lots of weight and that's great. I guess she should have fessed up from the beginning?

Well it was bound to get out in the end I spose, nothings sacred when you're famous.

But like they said in the clip, she is entitled to have some secrets.

She looks kinda silly now though.

I've never even heard of her. But, I read the article and think she's getting negative comments b/c she's making money off exercise videos and such. We all know how much work it takes with our tools, but others may not. If people think she is now a liar and didn't lose weight from just those videos, they won't trust her. You know? I'm not agreeing or disagreeing, just clarifying things.
