Default Considering Gastric Bypass Surgery?

Hi, my name is Lee and I work for Fox 11 News in Los
Angeles. I am interested in finding people who are
currently considering (or even have committed to)
Gastric Bypass Surgery. I'm interested in showing
people the very human side of being overweight and the
great lengths people sometimes have to go in order to
get to a place deemed "normal" in today's society. If
you are someone who is considering this surgery, and
would be willing to disucss your thoughts and
experiences on camera (we are okay with blurring your
face if you would like your identity hidden), please
call me immediately at 310-435-4451. If you live in
Los Angeles, that is a plus, but it is not necessary
for the purposes of this piece. Thank you.

Hi Lee;

Left a message to call me on my cell phone. Glad to see someone is finally focusing on the "human" aspect. It's interesting that obesity seems to be gaining momentum in the news, and that two TV shows recently had people dressed in "fat suits" and reported their experiences.

One day, or a week (during the day) in a fat suit barely scratches the surface of what we go through. Try living in it for 30 or more years!

Hey fox,

A best subject for you will be bothering companies that does not want to pay for surgeries like this even if we need it.
