I went to UAMS to a seminar on the method he used, a liquid type diet, and quite frankly couldn’t afford it. The weight will fall off, but, if you noticed, he didn’t look very healthy for quite some time after his dramatic loss.
Having been diagnosed as diabetic, I suppose he felt this was the quickest way to lose a lot of weight in a short time, and be under doctor supervision while doing it. However, I also felt that he was a little bit holier than thou, since his weight was lost this way, and he didn’t have to deal with the day to day choices most of us on a diet must make. Try it in the real world, Mike, and you might still be struggling.

I’m going to start calling him ‘Mike Suckabee.’ I love that. Wish I had been using it for the past few months. The guy is a suck-ass loser, regardless of his size. Also, wait until he finally realizes that — fat or not — he is descended from chimps!

Stupid asshole.

A friend of mine had hers paid for by insurance after her VBG because she had so much loose skin that it was breaking down in the creases and splitting.
The treatments for the infections she got were so expensive that the insurance company opted to pay for the removal of that loose abdominal skin.

(I so agree with the person who said that Rue now looks like all the other cookie-cutter thin people in Hollywood.)

This is not a smart move for someone who wants to build on past accomplishments!

In person, she looked like a normal-sized (if tall) woman. And yes, very pretty.

Seems pretty crazy to go to all the trouble of surgery just to drop from a size 10 to 4.

I was just discussing this on Big Fat Deal. A former coworker of my mine and a friend had gastric bypass. When you loose a great deal of weight so quickly, your skin doesn’t catch up. Many WLS patients opt to have a tummy tuck or pannectomy operation. But, most insurance companies consider this to be cosmetic in nature and won’t pay for it. At $10k, it’s not something the average joe can afford to do.

But, if you have to have surgery for a hernia, most doctors throw in the tummy tuck as a bonus. Or, it may be part of the surgery. Who knows. But this coworkers we had deliberately set out to make herself have a hernia so that she could get the free tummy tuck. Only it didn’t work out so well for her. She died as a result of complications from the hernia and hernia surgery.

I had a friend who was an undiagnosed diabetic and she was dropping weight like crazy, no matter how much she ate. I just figured that was the same thing that happened to him. Then, when he got diagnosed, they put him on some crazy strict diet that kept his weight down. But of course, the fact that he has a disease that actively works against his body wouldn’t have anything to do with his loss would it? No no. It was all determination and grit. *sigh*

Huckabee doesn’t want to appear to be making endorsements, so he doesn’t talk much about the details of his weight loss, which perhaps helps to fan these urban legends.

But all the “political reporters” and other reporters in Arkansas know that he participated in the medically supervised 15-week protein shake program at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in 2003.

Here’s the scoop on the program
