Default Medical Show looking to complete your body transformation

Hello-

I work for a medical talk show and we are currently looking for deserving individuals to receive a complete medical makeover. Have you lost a lot of weight and feel like a little plastic surgery could take you to the next level? If so, please contact me at tim.palazzola@cbs.com with pictures (both before and after your weight loss) and a daytime contact number. We would love to help.

Please submit immediately

I *really* wanted to.. I have problems with the 'pannus' (sp?).. and there is currently a heat rash under my breasts.. say nothing about the neck wattle, bat wings and thighs...etc etc....

But the idea that they would want to put my before's on display.. I couldn't bring myself to submit to it.

Misty,
If you are having those problems, take pics, get a RX from PCP and keep it up for 6 months and your insurance should cover it.

Yeah I said what the heck and sent in an email with some before and after. Who knows. I would love to get some Free plastic surgery, and most of these show only have the best docs. It looks like its from CBS. So hopfully I will hear something soon.
