TV Personalities and WLS: Is it taboo to mention WLS on TV?

I never thought of it that way. You have a valid point. He used to do a show on the food network as well where he went around eating all this different food. I never watched it just remember the commercials.

WLS TV Celebrities probably will have a lot more to lose (gain, probably not) than most regular people because they're in the public eye all the time. So if they don't lose weight, or if they gain, or whatever they'll be propped up on a pedestal & be used as the reason why wls won't work or it's the easy way out etc etc.

Some celebrities won't or can't be constantly on the defensive to explain over n over their choice & why they chose it, not to mention to see it plastered all over the papers. It's hard to be strong & stand tough all the time, which is what you have to be to stand up for what the majority thinks is the "easy way out".

Who was the chef that came to the OH conference that had the sleeve?

Graham Elliot

Oh ok well there was one person being public.

But...he was selling his wares, also..just sayin'...not that there's anything wrong with that

I honestly wonder today if a celebrity ever appears anywhere with out some alterior motive. I think that is just the sad truth of the business.

I'd do it, for a charity I believed in..not that I'll ever BE a celebrity, of course!!! Well...not until I marry Max, that is....Gina Chmerkovskiy...yea, I like the sound of that

 I have no idea who this is. He is a very pretty man. I am secure enough in my heterosexuality to say that. I watch Criminal minds with my wife and have no issues with her looking twice at Derek Morgan. He is pretty good looking.

I wondered how Jackson lost the weight, good for him getting WLS! It might be the network/producers who wanted to keep it a secret, and not necessarily him. But as someone who has chosen not to publicize my surgery, I can understand others who don't (public figures or not).
