Something I've heard twice lately, once from the nurse in my doctor's office and just now from Al Roker...

(xxx) lost that much weight *without surgery* !!

In the doctors office it was directed to me. It's scary that surgery seems to have become the norm for this process.

I wouldn't say the norm but at least a viable option for some - SyrDragon Nov 30, 09:31
i got sucked into TLC yesterday on their "Half Ton Teen" marathon. Some parents are doing their kids NO favours. -- nm - Elf Nov 30, 09:31 5

  - yes, surgery is useless if you don't change some lifestyle habits, really. - Callisto Nov 30, 09:34 2
    - I know some people like your IM - why spend that kind of money if not fully dedicated? - Epiphany Nov 30, 09:35 1
      - i also think, for the non-morbidly-obese, (like if you have less than say, 70 pounds to lose) why not take that money - Elf Andie Nov 30, 09:41
