Wait. I'm not sure I understand. Are you saying that contestants on this seaon of "The Biggest Loser" have previously had either Gastric Bypass Surgery or Lap Band Surgery? That goes against what the show stands for!

[damalove]

according to their website, those four contestants have had WL surgery and are still overweight hence trying out for the show.

The band is just a tool, just like exercising and eating right. I would have a had time believing they will succeed long term (as most of them don't) on that program if they couldn't succeed with WLS. If you're at that point and can't use the tools as they are meant to be used - you most likely need heavy counseling. I use all of the above and have done so since 2 weeks before getting my band. I know I'm going to make because I changed how I lived my life, don't let or expect my band to do all the work (90% is mine) and just focuse on staying true to living a healthier life. Its pretty simple.

I don't know if I'll watch it or not - I never have but it is entertainment...
