Sunday Night on Channel 7

I am disgusted with this show's article tonight.
I tried to respond to it but I wasn't able so I am doing it here.
I have not had lap band surgery but I would have if my surgeon hadn't offered something else.
I fully support lap band surgery and gastric sleeve surgery.
How dare Mike Monroe throw so much shit at lap band and support one doctor.
I'm sure there are lots more positive stories about weight loss surgery than they portray.
If you are not convinced google weight loss surgery forums and you will find plenty of happy people.
I have lost so much weight, I am fit, I am healthy, I don't take blood pressue medication, I am not diabetic and I love my life. Twelve months ago I was the exact opposite of all of those except for diabetes. How good is that. I have life to look forward to. I have grandchildren to look forward to, once I had limited opportunities due to my weight.
I can still die tomorrow, like anyone else but at least i am not offering myself up to the gods as a candidate to be taken early.
