I was not familiar with WLS at all. My husband had heard that Roseanne had the surgury.From there ,I checked into it & had my surgery on April 13/99. So I guess I owe her.Inspired ,well I'm not sue is the right word.

I found out that Roseanne had the surgery after I had already had a visit with the surgeon. I have to admit that she was an insperation. I have watched her for years yo-yo, like I know I have, and so far she is looking great since she had the fobi pouch. One episode of her talk show she even had Dr. Fobi on as a guest. It was very informative! I felt reassured after the program and also had my family watch it, to help them understand the procedure.

I rarely get a chance to watch Roseanne, but I did see her with Dr. Fobi in December ('98). That got me to thinking about wls and I was able to find his web site by linking through her site. And that is how this whole wonderful adventrue began for me. I'll be having wls in Toronto at the beginning of July. So, yes I guess, Roseanne did 'inspire' me. Best of luck to you. Kathy

Yes I was absolutely inspired by the show Roseanne did on her weight loss surgery. I was completly ignorant of WLS. Watching that one show gave me hope. I still well up with tears when I think of how that show changed my outlook on being fat. Knowing I had finally found the answer to my weight problem was such a relief, and she is such a real person it was like me sitting up there saying all the things she did. Now I am scheduled for surgery on June 18. The start of a new chapter in my life. Even tho I am 57yrs old I still have a lot of living to do. So Thank you Roseanne......

Not really. She didn't even admit to having the surgery until recently. I have never cared for her much. And with her I don't think it was a medical issue. She spent tons of money a couple of years back having everything tucked and sucked. She probably paid cash for the whole procedure and wasn't concerned with the medical reasons for having it done.

I was definately inspired by Roseanne I had a horizontal Band procedure 4 years ago and after limited success i have regained all i lost and when i watched the Roseanne show and visited her website i realized i needed a revision to a RNY surgery and i am in the approval process anxiously waiting.

I don't know if it was motivation or just information. I never thought insurance would pay for this till I say her show. I would have never tried to get approved unless I saw that show.

I had already decided on Dr. Fobi before hearing about Rosanne. But after hearing she used Dr. Fobi, I turned on her programmed a couple of weeks ago and was encouraged by how much better she looks, BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, how much better she seems to feel about herself and the surgery. Lynda

Yes she inspired me. I would never have considered the operation because of propaganda about the operations. I am already in the position of being denied and am about to go into an apeal. I'll get the Fobi Operation one way or the other thank's to Rosanne!
