During the 5-9 minute mark of this video, MommaGoob (referred to as MG in this post) talks about how she DM'ed Amber on Instagram because MG didn't think it was right for the dietician to block Amber, delaying her getting the surgery over a BED diagnosis (not pushing this opinion as my own; just relaying info). Anyway, MG sent Amber the link for her surgeon, and the link for another surgeon in the same practice. She also sent Amber a link for a pubmed article talking about how WLS helps with BED. Amber asked something like "Why do you think I should do that?" and MG replied "Because you need the surgery, BabyGirl, and you won't make it without it". MG told Amber about her own weight loss story and surgery, and how Amber should come to south Florida for the surgery.
MG didn't show the DMs, but claims that Amber responded by thanking her, but saying that she wouldn't be able to get to Florida. There are other WLS around where she lives. Then said "I'm gonna wait until my dietician contacts me on Friday, because she's supposedly gonna be talking to the surgeon about my exact situation and see what he says. I just wish that I could talk to him in person, because I truly believe that the risk of me not getting surgery soon is greater than the risk of waiting a full year or longer. But who knows, I'm not a doctor lol". MG offers to share her experiences with VGS and also discloses that she has a YouTube channel, and Amber says "I'd love to check out your channel sometime". (HA, lie: Amber knows about EVERYONE who makes videos about her - she sees it on her YouTube portal. She knows who you are, MG, she just doesn't care).
Sounds legit: Amber was given conditions, but feels too special and unique for said conditions. If she can get the WLS right away without any of the requirements that the other, non-special patients have, she'll bring this back. And my guess is if the doctor tells her that she has to go without a BED episode (which she magically cured herself) for a certain time, or has to lose weight to be approved, she'll give up and go on WW or Jenny Craig - while blaming her 'BED diagnosis'.
