Re: 48 Hours Show

Hi Holly,

As soon as the program was over I e-mailed them and told them all about

the MGB and Dr.R. Maybe if we all did that they would sit up and take notice. I

kept thinking of those poor ladies with that 1 ounce tummy and an open procedure

on top of that. They seemed happy with their results but even Fobi doesn't know

what the long term results or complications will be 10 years from now. I'm

really

glad the obesity epidemic is getting some of the attention it deserves. Now we

just need for the MGB and Dr. R to get the attention they deserve.

Bye,

Genz

I agree!! Is their email address on the website? Also, wanted to point out

one more thing that I was going to email ABC about. Last night I was

watching Who Wants To Be A Millionaire (as I always do) and Regis had a heavy

set guy in the hot seat and he says to him " So whats it gonna be Big guy " I

have noticed him doing that with overweight men a lot. Now if he said that

to some really muscular/no fat guy then it wouldn't be an insult but when the

guy is obviously fat...I just think it is cruel and embarrassing for him to

call attention to it like that. Anyway..don't know if anyone else saw it or

had noticed or thought it was a big deal.
