Elsa, I watched that program today and a woman who lives here (we used to go to church together) is on it! Angela. You are so right, they are not going to succeed. Maybe some of the lower end weight-wise. I thought I liked Dr. Phil and respected him but no more. I feel like he used them, humiliated them and I felt bad for them. Had them in bathing suits in front of national TV and their weight. Please, how rude. And he called it stomach stapling! And it's the easy way out -- I think not. Blessings to you.
