Dr. Oz On Tv Right Now Promoting Gastric Bipass Surgery



Recommended Posts

I think you may be jealous of his "not manly body". He is fit, slim and eats right!! What we all should be doing.

Jealous?!? Hardly. For a doctor, he always looks sickly. I'd rather be fat than skeletal.

Ouch! I can take him or leave him. I do find his "teasers" misleading. I have tried certain herbal weightloss things he has promoted (generically, of course" and i found them a waste of money.

I like Dr. Oz when I'm at the gym and there is nothing else to watch. I will be watching the show at 4:00 p.m that's when it will air here in CA. It might be an older show but I think it will be interesting to hear what they have to say.

I like him. He tries to inform/help with his show. No one is ever going to please us 100% all of the time. I think his show is informative.

Also, I don't judge people by their looks, that would make me a hypocrite.

I did like the episode. I also think that they do not talk about the sleeve so much because it hasn't been around as long as the bypass. Even my Dr. said they only have information that goes back 3 years. And a person who has diabetes and is over 100 lbs. overweight will have more success at getting rid of diabetes with a bypass.

Yeah, because being self-righteous is a better way to go.

I could care less if you think he is ugly or skinny, whatever it was you said, I do care if people judge me or others by their looks and its hurtful so therefore since I feel that way, I stated that I do not judge people by their looks.

How is that holier than thou or self righteous..

Geez

I don't watch Dr. Oz because he's always on when I am working. However, I admire anyone who would dedicate their entire life to the betterment of others. It's commendable. Having said that.... I am very glad he spoke about WLS, because I seriously do believe that WLS is best chance possible for most people to lose and keep off the weight as long as they by into the program and follow the guidelines.

He talked about the sleeve (spider surgery) on his show earlier this year. And he was all for it!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
