Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass   |  Inside BrookHaven?  Saturday while at home that show Brookhaven came on so I decided to watch. This one was called Inside Brookhaven. I came away from that whole thing feeling so disgusted. What is the purpose of these people spending all this time away from home, when they are allowed to eat whatever they want too. Some of the people there are just ridiculous. One man was so ungrateful and he felt nothing was wrong with him. He complained about everything. Well there is something wrong with you, HELLO you weight almost 800 pounds. Please dont even get me started on the man who runs the place. He sits up there and states I know what they are doing but it's like a drug and you just can't take it away from them all together. EXCUSE ME!!! There are plenty of drug centers that take away the drugs completely. Has he ever heard of cold turkey. He claims he cares but to me he only cares when the cameras are around. Don't get me started on Richard Simmons going there for show. How he carried on was just a hot mess. Okay, I have gotten that out my system....lol Did anyone else see this show?

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass  |  I saw the show. I actually stopped watching when one of the patients decided to have his leg amputated instead of trying to loose weight. I would feel so discouraged everytime I watched the show so I had to stop. Roz

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | It was on before after Big Medicine. havent seen it in a few weeks. I dont agree with it all either. I think they shouldnt be allowed to cheat and etc...they should get some chances and then if they cant follow the rules, out they go and let someone else have a shot there. I know this was a big topic not too long ago. I do agree Tyraine.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | I was just so disgusted after watching that show. I feel if you are going to continue to eat what you want then stay home or be sent home. One lady was on there for 2 years waiting on the gastric bypass but still ordering out everyday. Well excuse me how are you going to get better if you are still eating out everyday. I would like to know why haven't the government stepped in and said something about that show. They are quick to get into everyone else's business. That is money going down the drain on people who obviously don't care about their own well being but for people like Tiffany from Big Medicine she can't get any assistance. Well at least I know I am the only one that feels that way about that show. I will not be watching anymore. Actually, I am going to look for a website for them and pray they have email because I have a couple of comments I would like to say. It may not do any good but at least I would have gotten of my chest.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | I watched the show one time and the guy that was on the episode left home and was really going to try to make it work... what turned me off however was when his wife who was on her way to the same situation claimed she eat like a bird. The son was healthy and wanted both of his parents to be, but his mom was confined to a wheelchair and he was practically doing everything for her. It was depressing. The part I got mad at though was the woman who was their and he husband who was missing an arm was helping her with everything and she had the nerve to say that when she lost her weight she might have to make him get lost too. I couldn't watch that show anymore.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | yep that is the one.. he did everything for it and was concerned about her having surgery because he loved he and for her to say something like that was just appalling. I couldn't watch anymore.
