Joy and Rosie interviewed two women who lost over 350 pounds combined through diet and exercise. When the second woman was interviewed, Joy asked her why she didn't take the easy way out and have surgery mentioning gastric bypass or the lapband. Clearly, she has no experience with these surgeries or the work required to get the weight off and keep it off.

I saw some it. Rosey sounded even more stupid then Joy. I see you have kids was it difficult CONCEIVING...no.... did you have a difficult c section because of all the fat...no....well some obese women have problems. Hello, you stupid *%$(*#*$&%(#*# Whewwwww How ignorant.

Those women may have lost 350 pounds combined, but within 5 years, they will gain it all back, and Rosie and Joy take that to the bank.

I agree, they talked like it was a bad thing to have WLS!!!!! I mean, the second girl obvously had plastic surgery to remove excess skin, Did they ask her about that? No. I guess they think that all fat people can't make babies or birth them.

It really sounded like they did not interview them before they came on stage. That might have been a good idea!

Whatever, we all know that it is not the easy way out.

Yeehaw that was my first thought when the second girl came out. She had plastic surgery I'm sure of it. Her tummy was way to flat.

I was soo annoyed by that segment. The easy way out... yeah because surgery is soo easy and the weight magically falls off. They should do some research before they bash WLS. And was it me or was the first woman very arrogant. She acted like she knew everything about weightloss while in my own mind i thought she could stand to lose some more, maybe I'm just being mean now.

No, you are not being mean. She still needs to loose some lbs.

i used to like rosie, but lately she just gets on my nerves. she has taken over the show! in a bad way.

Use this link and go to the section that says "Email Joy". She will get the picture I am sure.

I was soo mad when I watched that segment. They kept repeating "the easy way out". I exercise 6 days a weeks. I have to make healthy food choices or the weight is not coming off. GB is soooo different than lap band that they shouldn't even put them in the same catagory. All the calories we eat are absorbed. This is a tool as is having a c-section instead of natural childbirth, using pain medication instead of just living with the pain, radiation to get rid of cancer. I wonder if rosie is less of a mother because she didn't go through 9 months of emotional ups and downs and bodychanges like some of us did to get our kids. She use the tool of adoption and that seems alot easier than my 15hours of labor. Our society has made tools for everyone to help them in some way or another and to make life more pleasant. The roads may be different but the struggles to get their the same. No one person should be judged for their path.

Who knows…maybe it's their little secret way of 'cutting at Starr Jones'. That show is so catty these days, nothing would surprise me. :bored

Consider the source. They're both hacks. And Rosie's big ass of all people has some nerve. I can't stand that sow.

:clap2: LOL!!!!!! Nathalie, tell us how you REALLY feel!!!!! hehehehehehe

I sent what became a long message to her e-mail. It may never see the light of day, but felt good to write it!
