Surgeon on Dr. OZ

[TracyNYC 4]

The doctor who did my band will be on Dr. Oz today at 3pm on FOX.

It will be interesting to see what they both have to say. Oz is not a fan of WLS, or at least he wasn't back on Oprah days.

Thanks Tracy for the info, set my DVR to record-no chance of me seeing it at 3 so will watch it later.

Don't get your hopes up. Oz gets people on his show and then sandbags them. I've seen a few and then went and read the blogs of the person who was blindsided. Oz doesn't let them explain and he also goes to great lengths to make his way look perfectly reasonable but exaggerating his opponents side to look unreasonable. His producers explanation to one who complained about this biased approach, "Well, this is just entertainment." Huh...and here I thought Oz was promoting it as a health show. Nice to know.

I forgot to set my DVR. I am glad I did after reading this post. I don't care much for Oprah, Dr. Phil, or Oz.. I have seen his shows in passing and he seems like a jerk. I like to watch the other program "the Doctors" but haven't even watched them lately. I would rather not listen to negatively from someone who thinks they know it all.

They seem to be discussing the new FDA lower standards for Lap Band rather than Yes or No for the procedure at all.

My guy said 1% slippage rate...LOL I am one of them....

Somebody said in another thread on this topic that he actually did a 'fair' coverage. I may have to go see if I can find it on the internet.

Segments of the show are on his website: http://www.doctoroz.com/

I found the food portions for the woman who was banded six months ago to be very unrealistic. That's the sort of soft foods I was eating three weeks after my surgery. Last night for dinner I ate several ounces of steak, not a few spoons of yogurt. She must have her band very tight.

Yea her food portions were laughable! Maybe they were showing how "good bandsrers" eat. Lmao

I would sstarve on her diet!

Ok really I call BS on the womans food! No way 6 months out that that is her daily food intake!

I think Oz did an Ok job and seemed to have changed his mind since a few years ago. I agree.....six months out and she is eating 4 spoons of yogurt for lunch? I am 3 weeks out and eat more than that. Did anyone notice neither banded woman had a Breakfast?

I also agree that doing this sooner rather than later is a wise choice.
