Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass  |  Nip Tuck Just a small vent here. I love this show but recently they have a woman on there that was so posed to have had wls. And she goes in for skin removal. Now she has lost a hundred pounds so they say. And they are usually very detailed with make up in this show but this upset me some and the story line just didnt fit.. The only place this woman had saging skin was on her tummy and from the looks of it no stretch marks anywhere. No saggy arms nothing.. I am sorry but a hundred pounds makes more of a mark on you then just some hanging skin in the front. Then she had a problem.. She did a raging number two in the hot tub. I was really pissed off. sorry for the language. So supposedly she was having problems and was upset so she returned to eating. And she said she went to the tables at her shoot and just ate and then went to another and ate all the sugar cookies..And then couldn't have a BM and felt bad about eating and then took five laxatives. And that is why she had her accident in the hot tub. Also when they were doing her operation the two of the drs were talking and the one likes her but of course the other has to say about that she was FAT.. and shaun replies I dont care if she was fat.. And of course that made me mad too.. I am tired of people thinking that because you are overweight or were over weight hell now its going to follow you for life I was mad.. I thought they went to far with this and it was just very obnoxious to me. But being overweight doesn't make you stupid, or a bad person or not worth being with. You are who you are under there and sorry but fat doesn't take away your brain cells. I am proud of being a Internet network engineer I worked very hard for that title. And I am sure that all you girls and guys out there feel the same way. Sorry I just had to vent. I have been watching this show for a long time and I really was upset with this treatment of us.

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   |  This is one of my favorite shows, but i was touchy too after watching this episode. I don't think they did US any justice at all! Funny thing too, they used an actress that really does have weight issues in real life-- so i was suprised to see how "light" they were about it and that she went along with it. Of course she is a stick now though too... But i try to remember, it is a 1 hr show for entertainment purposes, not a real life/reality show, and so this helped me a little bit

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass  | wow glad i didnt see that show. BUT here is my view... I really dont have bad arms but maybe some upper leg sag but more from age then anything else. HOW old was this gal? we all carry our weight differently i always had thin legs and arms carried the weight all in my middle, which worried my surgeon that the lap surgery would be rougher on me for that. BUT that was fine after all that. glad i didnt see the show but i do know people treat me far differently thin then they did me fat. I have more friends, i get more invites to hang and just socially more accpeted by people ....it sucks but its the truth....you will see when u get the surgery and are smaller there are differences.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | I don't watch the show -- but it sounds like I wouldn't have liked it either. As for sagging, well I know I've got my share -- my arms are flapping, my thighs are pretty wiggly and of course there's the old gobbler chin thing -- the one thing I don't have too bad yet is the saggy tummy but I'm pretty sure it will be there one day too. I may not watch the show, but one day I am sure I will need to get nipped and tucked! |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | I don't have any stretch marks at all, even after 3-10 pound babies. I also am not going to have an arm problem or leg problem. I want a tummy tuck though, but I wanted one of those before I gained weight. I think the stretch mark thing is genetic and depends on your skin tone. I am pretty dark skinned and have never had any. My sister is fairer and has tons of them. Guess maybe I was lucky!
