OT: TV Show - W5

Good morning everyone,

As I was getting ready this morning, I didn't get it all cuz I was far from the tv but heard them talking about WLS and how its a tool and about the critical point of 2 years post-op and blah blah blah so Tomorrow at 7:00 if you guys are interested!!

Happy weekend everyone!

I should have googled it before posting...lol...here's what the W5 website shows:

Two teens undergo radical measures to treat obesity, live normal lives

Regardless of age, obesity can bring on a raft of health concerns. But for children and teens, those health problems are often compounded by less obvious side effects. W5 follows two teens through a radical program to treat their obesity and help them find normal lives.

Merci, Nat!!!

Yes, I saw the ad for it last night during American idol. First thing my hubby said was wow, they do wls on young kids? Be interesting to watch this, I will for sure.

p.s. You had ps recently? How are you doing? 

thanks, will be watching it for sure!

Yep, sure did just before Christmas...it went amazing...I had no pain so no pain meds and I feel wonderful...would do it again in a heartbeat!

Watched it last night and it was interesting to see how different the two patients were in their attitude about the procedure.  Would love to see how things go for both of them a year or longer down the line.  Of course, they had the sleeve and not the rny but the girl seemed to take it really seriously and was totally determined and dedicated while the boy had more trouble with sticking to his diet etc.  Overall I found it very helpful - thank you for mentioning it!
