On the main page of Yahoo today, there is an excellent article about bariatric surgery and it's pros and cons which includes the story of Al Roker....After this article, some Drs. and experts in the field give their opinions.....I think it's a good read....Many, many succeed, some fail!.....I, like Al Roker, was the latter.....To those that are well on their way to success, may God bless, and to those who have faced disappointment, there is ALWAYS hope!!!!....HANG IN THERE.....Eventually you'll find the infanous "KEY!"

Just browsed Yahoo's main page. Didn't see it. Do you mind posting the link?

Thanks!

there were several articles on Roker...some positive...some educational... but its getting the word out there... thats a good thing.

I'm not sure if I read the right one, it was by the huffington post. But I felt like it portrayed WLS in a negative light, by saying most people who receive surgery could end up as drug abusers and a percentage commit suicide... Very scary
