Discovery Health Chanel is ******g me off

OK so I've been doing my annual new years ritual of watching all the fat/weight loss new years day shows on Discovery Health Channel.  I'm  they keep saying so and so wants to take the easy way out and have WLS.  This **** ain't easy.  Shoot if they only knew.  I wished they'd do a reality show and have them follow someone from trying to get approved all the way to goal.  This is ******g me off.  Oh and that WLS clinic where no one in the clinic losses weight.  That doctor is just collecting checks from the insurance. That's why is jack-legged ass doesnt want these people who OBVIOUSLY need surgery not to get it.  I mean dude on the show weighed like 700lbs with a damn near 50lb tumor on his leg and he wanted him to lose weight the "hard way"  FUGG that. 

Drops the mike and looks for the remote to change the channel

  ^5!!!!  I thought I was the only former fattie watching this shiot!!!!!

I put my poppy**** popcorn BACK up, and just finished entering my blackeyed peas and low carb toast into my calorie counter - about to eat that and drink at LEAST 32 oz of water before I eat anything ELSE sweet!!!!!  LOL

Girl if you're talking about that Brookhaven Obesity Clinic Show, then that show makes me so mad.  The man that run it knows nothing about obesity and just let those people order all of that food in and doesn't believe in wls at all. That show makes me mad at how they show the close-ups on the people while they are eating and then I just get mad at some of those people that are taking a bed away from people that need it and are ready to dedicate themselves to weightloss. I think that this place sets people up for unrealistic expectations because we all know how hard it is to lose weight and keep it off. I had to stop watching that show because they were just exploiting obesity and collecting checks.

I'm looking at TLC and this guy had RNY and he drinks diet soda like water and eats a bigger breakfast than I do and I haven't had WLS yet. this guy weighed over 1000 Lbs. when they started to help him.

Oh my !!!!you are so right, to funny Ive been watching the same shows this week and even though I have not yet had the surg. I have read enough and experience enough through friends that have already had it .A reality show would be great!!!!

I am watching TLC and it crazy!  I am upset about the lady that was on Obesity in America show who had wls and gain twice amount of weight back.  She said if she could watch what she ate and walked before surgery she would not of need it.  So she had surgery thinking it would be a magic bullet. I can not pull my self away from this channel today because I want to remind myself of why I had to change. 

I just logged in to start a post about this girl.  I've been watching all the fat shows on TLC.  That Brookhaven clinic is just too much for me.  The guy who runs it is not a doctor and doesn't seem to have a clue.  I'm watching the the half ton man, and he's eating KFC and has chips after he had gastric bypass and I'm like alrightie then.  I'm having surgery on Monday.  I need to continue to watch this so I know that if I don't use this tool I'm about to get then they could be me and I don't want that.

I never thought I'd say we all doing it at the same time but I've been watching it all afternoon too.  There is no way the doctor should have let them continue to cheat.  He should have gave them the boot.  But oh yeah, the insurance checks would have left with them.

Do they have therapist for the patients at brookhaven clinic or is it just controlled diet and exercise?

I am sitting here watching this brookhaven show too.  I think that director doesn't want people to have WLS cause it will cut down on his patients and profits.
