Anyone Work In TV?

[sheddy]

When you get a chance, ask em about the lack of cycling on TV

What show is it? If it's a secret, why post here?
Good luck.

I reckon that you'll find that it is the one that features people who feel so awful about how enormous/discoloured/tiny/oddly-shaped their labia/genital warts/haemorrhoids/penises/whatever are that they get undressed in the dark and never let their partners see them naked ...

... but they then end up on prime-time TV with cameras stuck up their nether-regions/bums/noses/where-ever so the rest of the population can see exactly what joys they've been missing!

(My ex used to insist that we watch the programme and we'd always wonder why on earth that people would volunteer to go on the show! At least Gaz has a very good reason for wanting to.)

Ah, I thought it was 'Freaky Eaters'

They will twist you and use you for what they want. Those in the media can be dicks at the best of times. Not always though in fairness. And yes I do have some experience with da media and tv not much though.

It's a sad reflection on the NHS that people like me have to turn to the TV eh ?

You'd certainly think that they would be prepared to spend the money that they didn't have to spend on gastric surgery, on tidying up your skin instead!

I reckon if the TV production team want to go with the "See how Gaz's loose skin hangs down over his tackle" angle, you should counter with "No thanks, I think I'll keep my boxer shorts on"!

Thats always been the base of my argument too

Hehehehe, its a bit more complex than that (there's more than just belly skin)

Hmm, just found this on the EB website. It says that the surgery can be carried out on the NHS, but they need to know that your weight is stable before they would consider it.

 

[gb155]

The treatment is available on the NHS, but a patient will normally have to wait several years to ensure that their weight has stabilised and their body has fully recovered from the initial weightless

Well I've been at goal for what, 9 months ?

just a few more "years" to go then ?

The doctors on that show have a practise in the building I work in. Strange seeing them walking outside the office.

Just a question? Were you refused the surgery on the NHS based on recovery issues? I'm no expert but would SED affect recovery rates in terms of scars/stitches etc? (Sorry to sound like a broken record here Gaz) Is this side of things going to be talked about on the show?

I'd really try and seek a second opinion re NHS as media and shows can be horrid, as others have mentioned, this may not reflect you as a person and is a pretty hard thing to go through.

Though if it's what you want, best of luck with the interviews.

You might see me walk into the building at some point then

Good point, Im not too sure what angles they want to go with as of yet, though i'll find out soon enough

I was refused on the NHS to be told the following "Forget it, they have all been cancelled (skin op's) due to the new governmental cut backs" nothing on a "personal" scale just a general one , I've had a few op's in the past and recovery hasnt been an issue at all

They don't do any filming or anything to do with the show in the practise
