Heath - I would agree with that but Randy Jackson was a big guy but.....he mentioned that his mother-in-law, and a couple of his friends also had the surgery around the same time. Is it that easy to get in the States?

I just thought that it was interesting how I found it a bit upsetting to see these people choosing this option. Not that I disagree with people who choose I just didn't particularly enjoy the promotion of it as the great solver for all obesity, as there was no real discussion on why they arrived there. Maybe its my own views of weight that is at the heart of this one?

For the record - Randy J. was 329 and has lost 100 lbs. The other woman they showed was 300+ and had lost 62 lbs. in 3 months, but hadn't dealt with her emotional attachments to food and was miserable.
