Dr. Oz and the 700 pound woman

Did anyone else see this show? It was about a woman who's something like 700 pounds and wants to become the fattest woman in the world. I found it heartbreaking. I'm so glad that I took a different path. But as I watched Dr. Oz and his offers to help her, I also wondered if he shouldn't just leave her be. I hate to say this but with her health issues and massive weight, even getting to a weight of 300 pounds would require massive surgeries. And while she is in complete denial about her health issues, I can't see her being able to survive any surgical option at all even if they were able to get her mentally ready to accept a complete change in her life.

Every now and then people will ask about being too old or too young to accept surgical help. I would just encourage people who are not in denial to get the help sooner than later. It's so sad to see lives wasted to obesity.

I feel shes wrapped up in the attention she gets from the men on her website. As long as the men are admiring her, she will never change. Usually heavyset women don't get attention from men. I feel she has an addiction to the the attention she gets from men. I look at her face and see a beautiful young lady hiding inside. Hopefully she will see the light before its to late.
