Yes, I just saw it! It grossed me out too, I would never be a doctor in a million years. Those insides are nasty. I wish they had given more detail about the LapBand. I did like how they showed Cora and her emotions, and how she is still fat in her head. I think I will feel that way too.

I hear the psychological aspect of weight loss takes several years to work itself out. I watch everything surgical on TV, so most of scenes don't bother me. The part I thought was disturbing was all the fat the 700lb guy had in his stomach...OMG!!!

Shows like that keep me from eating...

The psychological stuff is hard. I still use the dressing room in the women's department to try on clothes. I literally haul them across the store because that is where I feel most comfortable.

Someday I will be brave enough to try on my 12's and 14's in the misses department. Maybe I will just wait until I am in 8's or 10's...

I quit watching when they said she was 220 lbs. I know that's obese, but, dammit, here I am still wishing to be 220, and I couldn't bring myself to watch it. Not that I think she shouldn't have had the surgery, please, please don't get me wrong, my God I wish I'd have done this at 220.... I just couldn't bring myself to watch the show. I watched EVet Interns instead. My dream job would be to work for the ASPCA or the Humane Society...rescuing animals, and kicking the butts of people that mistreat them.

I must be missing something.....why does that bother you?

Glad she did it at 220 and not 377 like me.

Darn It! I was going too but Extreme Makeover was featuring weight loss so I watched it instead. The information for the show did not say anything about the band patient. Do they show a rerun time over the weekend?

I loooove watching this show since my surgery! It makes me so grateful for what I have and for what I have accomplished. The whole time I'm thinking, "There but for the grace of God..." when they show the extremely obese people who can't care for themselves, and, "Someday with the help of God..." when they show the people who have lost all their weight and are having their tummy tucks. I'm so excited for that to be me! :clap2:

What do you all think about the Psychologist on the show?

My 6 YO DD was excited to watch it with me to see the surgery that Mommy had. It was interesting to finally see a band on there.

my 4 year old son did the same thing... and then he wanted to look at my boo boo's and then the tv......... back again.
