:confused:Does anyone watch the show "What would you do?" It is a news show, they had a segment last night whereby a "FAT LADY" actress who was really big, and several teenage actress's were blasting her for her Fatness as she was sitting on the beach.

They did this to her "ALL DAY LONG"! The teenagers had NO SCRIPT~and came up with the ugliest things to say to the FAT LADY actress, that they actually had her in REAL tears. NO ONE except a young girl who is studying obesity for a health care related field tried to intervene on the FAT LADY's behalf!

There was a phycologist who analyzed the film at the end of the day! So many people walked past this lady and never said a word to try to help her??? What is this world coming to?

Obesity even in childhood is rampant and the health care industry is not looking at what happens to the individuals like us who were trapped in those obese bodies crying to get out. Lapband surgery is certainly safer than the alternative and was an answer to a prayer for me. Although I was turned down by Blue Cross and Blue Shield for the Surgery and became a self-pay. I think the Insurance companies need to open their eyes and if they won't then this Government needs to open them for them, as they are some of the richest companies in the world! They are not helping by denying this surgery when those in need suffer.:glare: Sorry but it makes me so mad when I see an overweight person, they have to eat too, and others are walling their eyes at them and accusing them of eating themselves into obesity. There are those who are Trapped and want out. Condemming them won't ever be the answer.
