Guest guest Posted July 29, 2001 Report Share Posted July 29, 2001 , I saw Christie's Story just the other night. I was so uncomfortable and disappointed with the program. Very little of it explored WLS, even her specific procedure. It was mostly centered around the trajedy of her life and the poor choices she made in general (non WLS related). My daughters watched it with me, I had expected it to be an opportunity for them to learn. I was concerned that it left the impression that this is how most MO folks are who seek out WLS. I have found that not to be the case, in fact quite the opposite. I dont know who produced the program, or what their point was, but I sure didnt like it.
