WHOTV 13 STRIKES AGAIN!!

TONIGHT AT 10PM THEY WILL BE SHOWING ANOTHER GASTRIC BYPASS SHOW THAT SOUNDS LIKE IT WILL BE BASHING OUR SURGERY AGAIN...GRRRRRRRR.... I AM GOING TO CALL THEM, WRITE THEM, WHATEVER.... THIS IS REALLY ******G ME OFF. ~~Dawn

Gee, they seem so eager to portray the BAD side of it- would they be open to hosting a LARGE group of us to hear OUR side of it??????? What's fair is fair- both sides should be represented! They also need to present the facts on risks of other surgeries. I had a nonmalignant tumor removed from my breast a few years ago during a very routine lumpectomy and required IV nitro to squelch severe chest pains afterward. I wonder what kind of special interest group is behind this(probably the same one that is blocking the new "weight loss pacemaker" from the US even tho it has been in general use in Europe for several years.) Could be the drug companies too- a loss of 100# for one person can also mean the loss of revenue for all the diabetic, blood pressure, pain killer, antidepressant medicine they would have taken the rest of their lives! Sorry to be so cynical!

I agree with you all the way Michelle. They need to hear the other side of the story.

The fact is that Channel 13 has been very sensationalistic for many years, so their angle on this surgery doesn't surprise me. Much of their reporting just tries to scare people. I stopped tuning in to them a couple years ago and switched to Channel 8- this is the best way to get back at them!
