| Chatty Cathy Hello Everyone, I heard about this site from my cousin in Fl. She had gastric by-pass surgery 4 yrs. ago, and I am considering it. Just finding more information from those who have had it. Maybe a few referalls for a doctor in Dayton Oh. I haven't seen the TV Show either. I need to find it! Are average people able to submit to being on it? That might be a bit too much .... I have never doen this before so here it goes. |

Welcome to the site Cathy! There is a ton of information here on obesity surgery, as well as a good amount of members who are in the process of getting or have already had it. Which TV show are you referring to? Big Medicine on TLC

The link William posted will take you to a thread that talks a bit about the show and what time it's on.
Welcome to the site! There are a lot of steps needed to qualify for obesity surgery. I believe jblack recently posted what he went through in one of this threads.
Glad to have you here!
