Guest guest Posted October 16, 2000 Report Share Posted October 16, 2000 Good morning~ I caught Dr. Gagner on Good Morning America. Here's my 2 cents worth. If the goal was to bring attention to the fact that the obese have another option (surgical), then it achieved it's goal. That's it. There was very little of Dr. Gagner - only about a 20 second spot and he said that Gastric bypass reduces the stomach to 2-3 ounces and that the surgery is successful because of that and because of the malabsorption component. The patient (sorry, I just forgot her name) did most of the speaking and the entire segment could not have been more than 5 minutes. It did get the word out, but it wasn't all that informative. Perhaps my expectation was unrealistic. It probably was--I've been accused of this. I will respect all opinions. I, personally, was a bit disappointed.
