Hi,

I am looking for the episode where Oprah announced her big weight loss with Optifast and was thin. It was in 1988.

If anyone has it, please let me know.

Thanks,

Patrick

Here's a suggestion:

try contacting one of the many optifast clinics. Back in the 80's they used this tape as a recruitment tool.

They suckered my mom into it. She lost the weight. Along with her hair and gall bladder. Then from being bed ridden for 3 months because of the gangrenous condition of her gall bladder, she gained a lot of the weight back.

Good luck.

Hi,

I don't know if they'd let me have it now!

Did they use the entire episode as a recruitment tool because I would like to buy the episode in its entirety.

Thanks!

You know, I really don't remember. I was in high school. We had to go because they felt we needed to know what we were getting into with our family member.

A large group of the patients all lost their gall bladders and got together and sued (and won) but they denied my mom because a few years earlier she had been examined for gall bladder pain, so they said she was a pre-existing case.

I don't remember it being a professionally done video. I just thought they showed the show, but I'm not sure.

Sorry I can't help more.
