Yea I have seen that show too, infact I know a few people that had that surgery. Sure they did start losing the weight fast but there is a very down side to the surgery. They lost the weight so fast that they loose skin just hanging off of them, very gross looking if you ask me. One of my lady friends that had the surgery ended up dying from complications, before she died they had removed almost all of her insides. My dad even had the surgery, the doctors told him he had to have it just so that they could do another surgery on him to remove a tumor. They told him that with him weighing as much as he did that they couldn't do the surgery other wise, by the way he weighted 380lbs before the surgery. He had the stomach surgery but then became too sick for the other surgery, he then died a year later. I mean sure the surgery may work for some, mostly those that have the money, but I don't feel that it is a solution. But then again each to their own, just be sure to read up on real facts of the pros and cons of the surgery and even talk to others, not just what some celeberty has said about it, that has had the surgery.
