Guest guest Posted September 2, 2003 Report Share Posted September 2, 2003 I can't watch him, and I won't support his sponsors. Ever since I saw him on Oprah telling a 500+ pound woman who was crying and begging for help to just " get in touch with her inner child " and she'll lose the weight, I realized he's just a fish oil salesman. The sad part is that when Oprah endorses someone, America listens. If only she would wake up and smell the coffee. in NJ ***************************** In a message dated 9/1/2003 11:31:44 PM Eastern Daylight Time, Tuesdynite writes: > Missed it.

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2003 Report Share Posted September 2, 2003 I completely agree with what you said about Dr Phil.I can't tolerate his self agradisement-he doesn't shut up long enuff to let guests talk.As far as weight loss,he isn't exactly Brad Pitt.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2003 Report Share Posted September 21, 2003 << Basically, you could find him anywhere.>> But why would you want to? LOL I watched a program on Dr. Phil last weekend on the Biography channel. It really didn't portray him in a very nice light. And I found out that he lived in the same town I did, and went to the same university I did (for awhile). Midwestern State University is a good school for a general education, but I was good friends with an Associate Professor of Psychology there, and I'd bet you that would tell you that it wouldn't be the best choice for a psychology education... I'm sure that she was his instructor in at least a few classes, and I'd like to know now what she thought of him then and now...

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2003 Report Share Posted September 21, 2003 Dr. Phil is not the only one guilty of incorrect assumptions about weight loss surgery. I have seen several Oprah shows where she made the comment that somebody had lost weight " THE HARD WAY, " when speaking of somebody dieting the traditional way. That too makes my blood boil!!! I believe me almost dying after surgery says something about my commitment to my weight loss, not to mention my my on-going struggle to eat right and stay healthy after the surgery. She has no right to speak either. kathy *********************************** Open Roux-en-Y with 150cm Alimentary Limb 07/05/02 416 Highest weight 411/236/150 (hopefully) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't made up my mind yet if I'd trade it for anything in the world. With a stoma 3x bigger than it's supposed to be, partly due to nature, and partly due to poor surgical technique, it has been one huge struggle for me, and one I'm now losing. There is no repair possible or available. It was MY only way out too. And it failed. Now what do I do. Despair rules my life these days.

There is only about 1 cm between the two, so no " fabric " there for the revisionist to work with. Not even enuf space to add on a silastic band. I've been trying to warn people to ask BEFORE they get their WLS where the surgeon will place the stoma, hoping to keep others from the same fate. You are essentially locked into a lifetime of constant hunger when the stoma is too large to hold food in your pouch. Carol A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
