"All of Me" PBS Documentary

[hawaii_josh 30]

This is a blatant steal/repost from the General Forums, but PBS aired a documentary entitled "All of Me" that follows a group of women who formed a social group in Austin. From the PBS site:

The “Girls” have been friends — and morbidly obese — for years. They met via the Austin chapter of the National Association to Advance Fat. Now they’re going through the life-changing process of weight-loss surgery. The experience presents a host of issues and consequences — some they knew they were in for, some they feared, and some they never could have imagined.

The entire show is available for free at http://video.pbs.org/video/2365190806/. I watched it earlier today and thought it was really well-produced and interesting. It gave me an idea of what challenges I might expect as I go through my WLS journey.

Thought it might be interesting to you folks as well.

Aloha,

Can't get it here because of restrictions. Sounds interesting though!

I got these instructions from someone who posted how to view videos without regional restrictions. Hopefully they'll work for you too.

1. Download the Google Chrome browser (if you're not already using it).
2. Go to www.hola.org.
3. Click on the big blue button in the upper left that says "Start Using Hola...".
4. Click the link I included above to get back to the website with the video.
5. In the upper right corner of Chrome, you'll see a flame icon. Click on it and choose the country from which you want to view the video (in this case, US).
6. That should reload the page without the regional restrictions.
7. View at your pleasure!

I used Hola for viewing a video that was restricted to the UK (while I'm in the US) and it seemed to work fine for me. Hopefully it'll work well for you too!
