Liane: This very well could be true, I know nothing about the details except

that Carnie had a lap RNy with Wittgrove.

However, other shows that have highlighted WLS have similarly omitted the DS

or only mentioned it in passing as the 'other surgery'. So, I think this

discrimination goes beyond contracts and Carnie as a spokesperson (although

what you mentioned above could very well have been a reason for not

highlighting DS on that particular show).

The one recently on MSNBC that discussed 'WLS and Dr. Ren here in NYC did not

even really discuss DS from what I've heard (didn't get to see it) and every

other show I've seen only talks about 'gastric bypass' as if it were one

generic surgery and NEVER mentions the DS at all. It's really frustrating!

all the best,
