Hi All , im new , my name is Mindy . I found the site from another form that was talking about the Oprah show.
I found Cassie and her mother did a great job, all the WLS patients did a good job on the show.
I think , this is just my personal opinion that Oprah's tone in general negative towards the WLS kids.
Cassie did a great job of standing up for herself. I personally got very aggravated at the end when oprah turned to the teen who had lost weight with out WLS and said " I am very proud of you YOU are a true inspiration" WTF The rest of the kids are not ? I was VERY angry at that comment , i felt it was a dig at the other kids.
I felt Dr Oz was uneducated about the Band and Oprah had to have known that going into this show.
Over all I did not think it was a BAD show , but I do not think it put a total positive spin on it either. I think it could have been A LOT better for positives as far as the band goes.
I too wish more of Dr Ortiz was shown . And when i say the positives I mean on Oprahs part, Cassie, Jenn and the other teens and moms did a great job !!
