PBS Weight Loss Surgery Documentary

Have any of you watched the advertised documentary? I found it terribly depressing. I felt it to be sad that several of the young women were trying to convince themselves that being obese was a good thing. Also, so many were having the lap band and my surgeon will not even consider doing the band any more, feeling it did not offer the chance of success that the sleeve and by-pass surgeries provide . I can't pinpoint what else bothered me, but I need to read or watch something light and positive after watching that! Any thoughts???

I saw this a while back and had some mixed reactions.

I didn't really like the BBW/fetish aspects.

Keep in mind that it was made several years ago (even before Zaslynn was on My 600 Pound Life), so surgery techniques, program requirements, and recommendations have changed over the last few years tremendously. Especially related to the lapband and sleeve.

There are a couple of threads about this already. Try searching All of Me.
