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!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
