Re: Christie's story on TV

[Guest guest]

Maybe her depression and self destruction was the result of Y E A R S of

being kicked around by society and the imprinting that society's stereo

typing of her was true. In other words, if you are told something long

enough, you begin to believe it, especially when you are young, you believe

it to be true. I have told my kids from day one how wonderful, beautiful and

special they are about 5 times a day (I can't help myself); now I have to

laugh when other kids, being kids, say something to the contrary and my kids

look back at them with a sort of perplexed/what are you talking about look.

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 was extremely disappointed in that show also. In my opinion, it made MO people seem very unstable and probably not worth the surgery.
