Default Oprah & Gastric Surgery

Hi all - just caught a bit of Oprah this morning. She had Randy Jackson (from American Idol) and a few other on who have had a gastric bypass. I have to tell you the whole show made me feel very uncomfortable. If you aren't successful at weight loss than your last alternative is surgery? Geez....there were no other discussions about other alternatives to this. Both people interviewed talked about their love of sweet foods, cakes, bread, pasta, etc.

While they did talk about the perils of this procedure it really was made out to be the answer for many people. The numbers aren't good though - 1/200 people don't make it out of the hospital. I missed the last 10 minutes of the show so maybe they covered that in a bit more detail.

Am I just being overly sensitive??
