Dr. Oz

I'm not a fan of Dr. Oz I know a lot of people value his opinion, but I'm not one. It will be interesting to see how Lisa does though. I read a comment that she had towards Dr. Oz that he was one of those "skinny people we hate". She's very outspoken...should be an interesting show!

Thanks!

I'm watching it right now, honestly it's awesome. Lisa is saying how it's a tool, and how if she doesn't deal with her emotional stuff she'll gain it back. Dr. Oz even said he thought bariatric surgeries were the most under-used out there. They're both actually very informative. I'm rather impressed!

I think why bariactric surgery is still underutalized, is due to the insurance companies, not wanting to shell out for the surgeries, and making it very difficult for some patients who desperately need the surgery to obtain.

I hope that more insurance companies ease up on their restrictions to help more of the obesse out there. I think the majority of those who look into Lapband have tried everything else and realize that lifestyle changes have to be made permenately for continued sucess.
