TLC's MY 600-LB LIFE Casting Call for Season 7!

[PokerGuy 1]

and the producers of the show have 2 goals..

1. Have a lot of viewers

2. Make a lot of money.

They are not a charity and shouldn't be though of as such..

If they save lives in the process that is great.

I've been offended by some of the things I've seen on the show, sure. One of the things that bothers me is that it seems the patients are only advised to seek therapy after they've had the surgery and aren't complying well. The show kind of skips over all the preparatory steps we need to take--meeting with a nutritionist, for example.

Ultimately, though, if it's saved the lives of the people on it or people watching it, wonderful. Let the producers and TLC make money from it.

I simply stated an opinion and someone got butt hurt over it. Yes, some people are lazy, as I said, I was too at some point. I don't favor this show, but as most of you have stated, it does help those who truly need it. It does upset me sometimes, when I see people on that show not value the opportunity they've been given. If you read more into what I said or say, not my issue. In most cases, I'd say "get over yourself", but I'll refrain. Stay beautiful everyone!

Yes!

These poor souls who have eaten their way up to 500, 600, and 700 pounds obviously have severe emotional issues. They need intensive therapy before and after the surgery. Really, I feel it should be a requirement for ANY of us who are thinking about or have already had surgery. I think the rates of regain would drop dramatically.

In another note, I used to think Dr Now was kind of an ass, but apparently according to people who have seen him speak at the WLSFA conventions, he was very kind and actually cares very much for the well being and success of his patients. That was nice to hear.

Hi SGC I do understand what you are saying, but I would not like to be paraded around in such a way for the entertainment of others. Why must people be humiliated and degraded in order to be able to get a life saving surgery.

They signed off on it...it was done with their permission...
