Exclamation Teens and Gastric Bypass on Oprah ALL NEW!!

This coming Monday, Feb 4th, on Oprah, it's a brand new episode on Teens and Gastric Bypass. It looks like maybe it's going to be a good one, rather than telling only the cons about it. Who's watching?

Well actually I just looked at the site some more, and it seems as if they're doing half positive, and half negative. They have Dr. Oz say how there is a way to maintain weightloss without surgery, and how if you have surgery and eat milk shakes, then you wont keep it off, and blah blah blah. It also shows more of teens with transfer addiction, like alchohol. I don't know...we'll see.

I'm hoping to catch the episode. I have no problems with showing the pros and cons of the surgery, but they need to explain that sometimes surgery is the only option for sometimes! I do have some concerns with young people having the surgery. Kind of on the fence about it...know what I mean?

It's on at 4 on the west coast. I don't know about the east coast. You're probably right though.
