These 3 People Went To Mexico For Weight-Loss Surgery And Now They Regret It | Megyn Kelly TODAY

>> MILLIONS OF AMERICANS WANT TO LOSE WEIGHT. MANY CONSIDER WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY. INCLUDING OUR NEXT GUESTS, WHO ARE SO DESPERATE, THAT THEY TRAVELED OUTSIDE THE U.S. FOR MORE AFFORDABLE WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY. THEY ARE FAR FROM ALONE. THE CDC SAYS WEIGHT-LOSS SURGERIES ARE NOW PART OF A WORLDWIDE, MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR, MEDICAL TOURISM INDUSTRY, THAT IS EXPECTED TO GROW SUBSTANTIALLY IN THE NEXT FIVE TO TEN YEARS. OUR GUESTS THEY WHILE THE WEIGHT DID COME OFF, THERE WERE UNEXPECTED AND DEVASTATING CONSEQUENCES.

WATCH. >> MY WEIGHT PROBLEM STARTED IN HIGH SCHOOL. >> I’VE STRUGGLED WITH MY WEIGHT KIND OF ALL MY LIFE. >> I GOT UP TO ALMOST 300 POUNDS. >> I TRIED A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT THINGS TO LOSE IT. IT WAS A CONSTANT BATTLE. >> MY STEP-MOM, LIZ, HAD COME BACK FROM SURGERY. SHE LOST ALL THE WEIGHT. I SAW THAT, AND I’M LIKE, I WANT TO BE THIN AGAIN. >> THERE’S NO WAY I COULD AFFORD THE OPTIONS IN THE STATES.

I’M A SINGLE MOM WITH TWO KIDS. >> I SAW IT AS THE MAGIC BULLET. >> FIRST THING I CAN REMEMBER COMING OUT OF SURGERY, WAS THAT I WAS IN HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE PAIN. ALL OF A SUDDEN, I FELT SOMETHING WET ON MY STOMACH. I LOOKED DOWN. I WAS BLEEDING FROM MY STOMACH. I LITERALLY NEVER THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO GET HOME TO SEE MY SONS AND MY MOM EVER AGAIN. >> THE ISSUES WITH ME CAME WITH AFTERCARE. >> THAT’S WHAT THEY DIDN’T TELL YOU. THEY DIDN’T TELL YOU HOW IMPORTANT THE AFTERCARE WAS. >> IT NEEDS CONSTANT MAINTENANCE. FILLS AND ADJUSTMENTS, ALL SORTS OF THINGS. >> TWO WEEKS LATER, I COLLAPSED. I WAS AT WORK. I COLLAPSED. THEY GOT ME INTO THE CT SCAN. THEY HAD SEEN MY SPLEEN HAD BEEN CUT. I WENT HOME THAT NIGHT, AND I WAS LITERALLY CRAWLING FROM THE BATHROOM INTO MY BED.

I WAS PRAYING, HEAVENLY FATHER, THAT I DIDN’T DIE IN FRONT OF MY BABY. >> THE EMOTIONAL PART I DON’T THINK REALLY STARTED UNTIL I LOST MY STEP-MOM. HER BAND ERODED THROUGH HER STOMACH, AND HER STOMACH LEAKED ACID ONTO HER HEART AND LUNG. >> MY STOMACH WAS WIDE OPEN. ANYTHING I WAS INGESTING WAS GOING INTO MY STOMACH, AS WELL. >> I HAD TROUBLE BREATHING AT NIGHT SOMETIMES. I THINK THE WORST PART FOR ME IS THE NIGHTMARES. >> THE MORE YOU GET INTO IT, THE MORE IT STARTS TO AFFECT YOUR BODY PHYSICALLY, AND MENTALLY, THERE IS ALWAYS THE THOUGHT, THAT THIS ISN’T RIGHT. THIS ISN’T RIGHT. THIS ISN’T RIGHT.

>> THEY WERE DIAGNOSED WITH PTSD. I NEVER EVEN KNEW WHAT PTSD WAS UNTIL THIS. I RE-LIVE MEXICO IN MY HEAD EVERY NIGHT. NOT KNOWING IF I WAS GOING TO GET OUT OF THERE OR NOT. >> JOINING ME NOW, JESSICA, JUSTIN BLACKBURN, AND CARSON MILLER. THANK YOU, ALL, SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE. LET’S JUST START WITH WHERE YOU WERE, YOU KNOW, WEIGHT-WISE, WHEN YOU MADE THIS DECISION. IT’S A DRAMATIC, DRASTIC DECISION, TO HAVE WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY OUTSIDE OF THE COUNTRY, IN PARTICULAR. WHY DID YOU DO IT, JESSICA? WHERE WERE YOU PHYSICALLY? >> PHYSICALLY, I JUST WASN’T WHERE I WANTED TO BE. MY LEGS WERE HURTING. I LOVED TO PLAY SPORTS. I’M VERY ACTIVE. THAT WAS ONE OF MY BIGGEST DECISIONS.

I’M GOING TO GET IT BECAUSE MY KNEES AND MY ANKLES WERE HURTING. >> HOW HEAVY WERE YOU AT YOUR HEAVIEST? >> I WEIGHED 251 POUNDS. >> OKAY. INSURANCE WAS NOT AN OPTION TO COVER THIS? >> NO. THIS IS COSMETIC, MOSTLY, SO INSURANCE DOESN’T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT. >> SOME INSURANCE COMPANIES SOMETIMES WILL, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE IT IS THE EXCEPTION AND NOT THE RULE, TO GETTING THIS.

SAME BOAT, YOU COULDN’T GET INSURANCE TO COVER IT IN THE U.S.? JUSTIN, HOW ABOUT YOU? HOW LARGE DID YOU GET, AND WHAT WAS IT THAT MADE YOU SAY, I HAVE TO DO SOMETHING? >> AT THE HIGHEST POINT, I WAS PROBABLY ABOUT 300 POUNDS. I LOVE TO SKI. THAT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS. THE SALESPEOPLE FOR THE MEXICAN SURGEONS, THEY LOVE THAT. THEY LOVE ACTIVE PEOPLE LIKE JESS, CARSON, AND MYSELF. THAT’S ONE THING EASY TO SELL. WE ALL HAD KNEE PROBLEMS, OR WE WERE ALL HAVING PROBLEMS RELATED TO THAT BECAUSE WE WANTED TO BE PHYSICALLY ACTIVE. THE WEIGHT MAKES IT DIFFICULT. YOU START HAVING PRESSURE ON YOUR KNEES, HAVING PAIN. >> THEY KNOW HOW TO LURE YOU? >> EXACTLY RIGHT. >> SAME FOR YOU, CARSON? >> YEAH.

I WAS AN EX-HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETE. RIGHT AFTER THAT, I GOT — I KEPT EATING THE SAME WAY, BUT I WASN’T AT PHYSICALLY ACTIVE. I GOT UP TO 295 POUNDS. ON THE DAY OF THE SURGERY, I WAS 285. >> WAS THERE ANY HESITATION? IT’S NOT UNKNOWN THAT THERE ARE RISKS IN GOING TO MEXICO OR SOUTH OF THE BORDER IN GENERAL FOR ANY SORT OF SURGERY.

SO HOW DID YOU EVALUATE THAT IN YOUR MIND? >> FOR ME, MY STEPMOTHER, LIZ, HAD JUST GONE DOWN TO MEXICO. SHE HAD THE SURGERY DONE ABOUT SIX MONTHS BEFORE I HAD MY SURGERY. ME, CARSON, LIZ, AND I WENT ON A SKI TRIP TOGETHER. LIZ LOOKED AMAZING. SHE DROPPED ABOUT 50 POUNDS. IT WAS THE FIRST TIME I REALLY SAW HER BACK TO HER OLD SELF. SHE WAS A NURSE. SHE TOLD ME, OH, THE CLINIC IS BEAUTIFUL.

THE CLINIC, YOU KNOW, IS AS SAFE AS ANY CLINIC IN THE COLITIS. >> THE DIFFERENCE FINANCIALLY BETWEEN HERE AND THERE WAS WHAT? >> ABOUT 1/3 OF THE COST. >> 1/3 OF THE COST. ABOUT $24,000 HERE? DOWN HERE, AROUND $8,000? >> I PAID $6,300 FOR MY SURGERY. >> $6,300. >> $4,700. >> IT’S CHEAP. DEFINITELY CHEAP BY, YOU KNOW, AMERICAN STANDARDS. BUT THERE IS A REASON FOR THAT. >>> UP NEXT, JESSICA WAKES UP FROM SURGERY, AND THE >>> LOSE THE WEIGHT FAST FOR HALF THE PRICE OR 1/3 OF THE PRICE.

IT IS A TEMPTING PROMISE FOR MANY AMERICANS BATTLING OBESITY. THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT OUR GUESTS TODAY HOPED FOR BY TRAVELING TO MEXICO FOR WEIGHT-LOSS SURGERIES. BACK WITH WE NOW, JESSICA, JUSTIN BLACKBURN, AND CARSON MILLER. JESSICA, I’LL START WITH YOU. YOU WAKE UP IN MEXICO, HAVING HAD — WHERE IN MEXICO? >> TIJUANA. >> HAVING HAD THE SURGERY. YOU’RE IN INTENSE PAIN AS SOON AS YOU WAKE UP. TELL US WHAT YOU SAW AND FELT. >> PROBABLY ABOUT AN HOUR AFTER I GOT OUT OF SURGERY, I’VE NEVER FELT PAIN LIKE THIS IN MY LIFE. I WAS THINKING TO MYSELF, I HAVE TWO CHILDREN. I’VE HAD SURGERIES BEFORE. I WAS THINKING, WHAT IN THE HECK IS WRONG WITH ME? I COULDN’T EVEN TELL YOU HOW MUCH PAIN I WAS IN. ABOUT AN HOUR LATER, ALL OF A SUDDEN, I LOOKED DOWN, AND I FELT SOMETHING WET. MY STOMACH WAS BLEEDING. THEY CAME IN, AND THEY SAID IT WAS NORMAL. THERE WERE OTHER PEOPLE IN THE ROOM WITH ME. I HAD TWO OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAD JUST GOTTEN THE SURGERY DONE, AS WELL. THEY WEREN’T BLEEDING. IF IT IS NORMAL, WHY AREN’T THEY BLEEDING? THEY RELEASE YOU.

YOU CAN ONLY BE IN THE HOSPITAL FOR 24 HOURS. THEN THEY RELEASE YOU INTO A HOTEL, WHERE SUPPOSEDLY, THERE’S REGISTERED NURSES AND, YOU KNOW, A DOCTOR IF ANYTHING HAPPENS. WELL, I PUT ON A HOODIE AND SWEATS, AND I LAID DOWN TO GO TO SLEEP. I DIDN’T SLEEP THE WHOLE ENTIRE NIGHT. I WAS IN SO MUCH PAIN. I WOKE UP TO GET A LEAK TEST. THEY WERE TAKING ME TO TAKE THIS LEAK TEST. I FELT SOMETHING WET ON MY FACE. I WENT LIKE THIS. I WAS COMPLETELY COVERED IN BLOOD. I LOOKED DOWN AT THE BED, AND IT LOOKED LIKE IT WAS A MURDER SCENE. I LITERALLY TOOK OFF MY HOODIE. I COULD GO LIKE THIS WITH IT. BLOOD WAS POURING FROM IT. I STARTED TO REALLY GET SCARED. I WAS DOWN THERE BY MYSELF. YOU KNOW, I WENT WITH OTHER GIRLS, BUT THEY WERE STRANGERS TO ME. >> THEY DID A COUPLE OF — THEY DID A FOLLOW-UP SURGERY TO ADDRESS SOME BLOOD CLOT ISSUES? >> THEY DIDN’T EVEN DO THE SURGERY. HE CAME IN AFTER I WAS BLEEDING LIKE THAT.

HE CAME BACK, AND THAT’S WHEN I FINALLY SAW THE DOCTOR AFTER I WAS BLEEDING LIKE THAT. HE CAME BACK IN. HE SUCKED OUT WITH THIS TUBE TYPE OF THING. HE SUCKED IT OUT AND SAID THAT’S WHAT IT WAS, A BLOOD CLOT. >> LATER, YOU GET BACK TO THE STATES. DURING THE AFTERCARE, YOUR PROBLEMS CONTINUED. >> YEAH. >> THEY TOLD YOU SOMETHING HAD HAPPENED DURING THE SURGERIES. BHA WHAT WAS IT? >> THEY CUT MY SPLEEN. I WAS BLEEDING INTERNALLY. ONCE I FIGURED OUT THAT THEY CUT MY SPLEEN, HE NEVER FINISHED THE SURGERY. MY STOMACH WAS WIDE OPEN, AS WELL. ANYTHING I WAS DRINKING, WATER, TEA, CHICKEN BROTH, WAS EXPOSING RIGHT INTO MY STOMACH. I WAS A BIG SEPTIC TANK BECAUSE OF THE BLOOD THAT WAS INSIDE OF ME, AND THEN ANYTHING THAT I WAS EATING, ANYTHING LIKE THAT WAS TURNING SEPTIC, TOO. >> YOU COULD HAVE DIED. >> I DID JUST ABOUT DIE.

I DON’T KNOW HOW I’M STANDING HERE TELLING YOU MY STORY. WHEN THEY RUSHED ME TO THE HOSPITAL, THEY TOLD ME, MOM, WE DON’T THINK SHE’S GOING TO MAKE IT. >> OH, MY GOD. JUSTIN, YOU MENTIONED LIZ, YOUR ST STEP-MOM, WHO HAD THE SURGERY AND HAD DONE SO WELL. SHE WAS ONE OF THE REASONS YOU GOT IT. YOU GO DOWN THERE, CONVINCE CARSON, RIGHT, TO GET IT.

YOU GET BACK. LIZ WOUND UP HAVING ISSUES, AS WELL. DID YOU HAVE YOURS BEFORE SHE HAD HERS, YOUR ISSUES? >> I’VE HAD FEWER ISSUES THAN PROBABLY CARSON OR LIZ DID. I’VE MAINTAINED A FAIRLY HEALTHY WEIGHT THROUGHOUT THE TIME. I GOT DOWN TO 205 POUNDS, WHICH IS CLOSE TO IDEAL. THAT’S FAIRLY CLOSE TO WHERE I AM RIGHT NOW. THIS IS WHERE I WANTED TO BE. LIZ STARTED DROPPING WEIGHT. SHE WANTED TO BE ABOUT 140, WHICH IS A GOOD, ATHLETIC WEIGHT FOR HER. SHE GOT DOWN TO 140. SHE STAYED THERE FOR A FAIRLY GOOD PERIOD OF TIME. RIGHT AROUND CHRISTMAS, SHE STARTED GETTING GAUNT. SHE GOT WHITER AND WHITER. SHE DIDN’T LOOK HEALTHY.

IT WAS CHRISTMAS 2012. CARSON, RIGHT AROUND THE SAME TIME, GOT DOWN TO 155/160 POUNDS. BOTH OF THEM, THEIR BANDS WERE TIGHTENED. THEY HAD THE LAP BAND, WHICH CONSTRICTS THE FLOW OF FOOD THROUGH THEIR STOMACH. RIGHT AROUND THAT TIME, BOTH OF THEM HAD BARELY BEEN EATING. BOTH OF THEM HAD LOST SO MUCH WEIGHT, THEY DIDN’T LOOK HEALTHY. LIZ, OVER THE NEXT SIX MONTHS, JUST KEPT GETTING THINNER AND THINNER. SHE GOT DOWN TO ABOUT 125 POUNDS BEFORE MY DAD RUSHED HER TO THE HOSPITAL. THEY DID A CT SCAN ON HER. THEY COULD TELL THAT THE BAND HAD ERODED THROUGH HER STOMACH. THEY TOOK HER IN FOR EMERGENCY SURGERY. UNFORTUNATELY, AFTER ABOUT THREE OR FOUR DAYS IN THE HOSPITAL, SHE TURNED SEPTIC, AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO SAVE HER. >> SHE DIED. >> SHE PASSED AWAY. >> UNBELIEVABLE. >> MY BROTHER WAS — MY YOUNGEST BROTHER WAS 18 WHEN SHE PASSED AWAY. HE GRADUATED FROM HIGH SCHOOL IN MAY. SHE DIED IN JULY. >> JUSTIN AND CARSON ALSO WOUND UP DELIVERING SEVERE COMP MY >>> MY GUESTS TODAY ALL SAY THE PROMISE OF A NEW ME MOTIVATED THEM TO TRAVEL TO MEXICO FOR WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY.

WHILE THEY DID LOSE THE WEIGHT, THE POST-OP COMPLICATIONS WERE TOO MUCH TO BEAR. BACK WITH ME NOW, JESSICA, JUSTIN, AND CARSON. SO WHEN, YOU KNOW, YOU LOST YOUR STEP-MOM, AND YOU AND YOU BOTH STARTED TO EXPERIENCE COMPLICATIONS OF YOUR OWN, YOU GUYS HAD THE LAP BAND PUT ON. WHAT WERE THE COMPLICATIONS? YOU WERE GOING TO A CLINIC IN ARIZONA, TO WHICH THE MEXICAN DOCTOR — NOT THE SAME AS JESSIE’S DOCTOR — WAS DIFFERENT, BUT ALSO IN TIJUANA. HE RECOMMENDED THIS CLINIC. WHAT WAS THE PROBLEM? >> THEY WEREN’T CERTIFIED. YOU HAD A FULL LIST OF PEOPLE YOU COULD GO TO. YOU ASSUME THAT THEY’RE CERTIFIED, TRAINED, AND THEY KNOW WHAT THEY’RE DOING. YOU GO INTO A CLINIC. AGAIN, THIS ISN’T COVERED BY INSURANCE. A LOT OF THIS HAS TO DEAL WITH MONEY. YOU PAY CASH TO GET THE BAND ADJUSTED. THE BIGGEST THING IS AFTERCARE. MAKE SURE YOU ARE NOT OVEREATING, UNDEREATING, WHATEVER. I GO IN, AND THEY OVERFILL IT. NINE CENTIMETERS OF FLUID. THEY FILLED IT TO 10.

>> SO THEY COULDN’T EAT ANYTHING. >> WHEN YOU FIRST LEAVE, I COULD. FOR A FEW MONTHS, I WAS ABLE TO EAT. IT GOT WORSE AND WORSE AND WORSE. FINALLY, WHEN I GOT RUSHED TO A BARIATRIC SURGEON AT ST. JOSEPH JOSEPH’S IN PHOENIX, I COULDN’T EVEN DRINK WATER. >> SAME FOR YOU? >> I HAD TO HAVE MINE UNFILLED. THEY ONLY PUT SEVEN IN MINE.

THE WORST PART ABOUT IT IS, THAT WE FOUND OUT GWENDOLYN HALL WAS A NURSE-MIDWIFE. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE ARIZONA NURSING BOARD. WHEN THEY REVOKED HER LICENSE, SHE SURRENDERED HER LICENSE, I’M SO SORRY. WHEN SHE SURRENDERED HER LICENSE, AS A NURSE-MIDWIFE, SHE WAS NOT LICENSED TO TREAT MALE PATIENTS. WE’D HAS BEEN SEEING CARSON AND ME, AND SHE’S NOT LEGALLY ALLOWED TO SEE US, LET ALONE DO ANYTHING BARIATRIC-RELATED AT ALL. IT WAS AN EYE-OPENER. WE DIDN’T FIND THIS OUT UNTIL ALMOST THREE YEARS AFTER LIZ DIED. WE FOUND THIS OUT LAST YEAR IN MAY WHEN THEY FINALLY REVOKED HER LICENSE. >> OUR PRODUCERS REACHED OUT TO THE HALL REGARDING THE ACCUSATIONS AGAINST HER. SHE SAID SHE DID WARN YOUR STEPMOTHER THAT SHE NEEDED TO SEEK ADDITIONAL MEDICAL CARE. AS FOR YOUR ALLEGATIONS, JUSTIN AND CARSON, SHE DENIES OVERFILLING YOUR LAP BANDS. SAID TO US, THAT ALL THESE PEOPLE KNEW THE RISKS WHEN THEY GO INTO SURGERIES IN MEXICO. PEOPLE HAVE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR OWN HEALTHCARE. YOUR REACTION TO THAT? >> YOU DON’T KNOW THE RISK. THEY DON’T TELL YOU ABOUT IT.

THEY DON’T TELL YOU ANYTHING OF THE SORT ON THE TRUTH OF IT. THAT’S WHERE IS THE PROBLEM AND WHY WE’RE SITTING HERE RIGHT NOW. THERE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE REGISTERED DOCTORS AT THE HOTEL YOU WERE AT. THEY DIDN’T HAVE ONE UNTIL THE DAY I LEFT MEXICO. I’M SITTING THERE BLEEDING TO DEATH, AND THERE’S NOT ANYBODY THERE TO HELP YOU. HA, THAT’S THE TYPE OF RISK THAT’S NOT RIGHT. THEY’RE TELLING YOU ONE STORY, AND YOU’RE GETTING A WHOLE OTHER BALL GAME ON IT. THAT’S WHERE IT IS AT. >> WHERE ARE YOU TODAY, JESSIE? >> I AM SICK ALL THE TIME STILL. I HAVE BEAR CLAWS THAT HOLD MY STOMACH TOGETHER. HE COMPLETELY SHREDDED ME. I KNOW I WENT TO MEXICO.

I KNOW THAT I’M THE ONE WHO DID IT. I LIVE WITH IT EVERY DAY. YOU KNOW, PEOPLE TELL ME, WELL, YOU KNOW, YOU DID IT. NOBODY FORCED YOU TO DO IT. NOBODY DID ANYTHING. NOBODY FORCED ME TO DO IT. I WENT DOWN THERE AND DID IT. BUT I LIVE WITH THE CONSEQUENCES EVERY DAY OF IT. BECAUSE OF WHAT WAS DONE. HE DIDN’T EVEN HAVE A CONSCIOUS, OF WHAT HE DID TO ME. HE KNEW HE CUT MY SPLEEN. HE KNEW IT THEN AND THERE. I WAS BLEEDING. I WOKE UP INSTANTLY WITH COMPLICATIONS. IT’S NOT LIKE I RETURNED. >> AND SENT YOU OFF ON YOUR WAY. >> EXACTLY. HOW COME YOU DIDN’T TAKE ME IMMEDIATELY? IF HE EVEN HAD A CONSCIOUS, OR THE WOMAN THAT TOOK ME OVER THERE, WHY DIDN’T THEY TAKE ME OVER TO SAN DIEGO IMMEDIATELY AND GET ME THE PROPER CARE THAT I NEEDED WITH IT? >> WHAT DO YOU WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW? PEOPLE CONSIDERING THIS SURGERY, WHICH IS FAR CHEAPER.

>> WELL, AS WE WERE FLYING OUT HERE, WE WERE GOING THROUGH THE AMERICAN AIRLINES IN-FLIGHT MAGAZINE. THERE WAS AN AD FOR MEXICAN TOURISM IN JUAREZ. >> MEDICAL TOURISM. >> MEDICAL TOURISM IN JUAREZ. WE’RE LOOKING AT MEDICAL TOURISM IN JUAREZ. THE IMPORTANT THING IS, THAT WE’RE NOT SUING FOR MALPRACTICE. THAT’S THE THING ABOUT OUR LAWSUIT. IT’S NOT A MALPRACTICE LAWSUIT. >> YOU FILED A LAWSUIT AGAINST THE DOCTORS, THE CLINIC? >> PRIMARILY, WE FILED IT AGAINST THE RECRUITERS.

THE PEOPLE THAT ARE IN THE UNITED STATES, ARE ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO GO DOWN TO MEXICO. THE THING ABOUT THE UNITED STATES IS, THAT WE HAVE FRAUD LAWS. YOU HAVE TO TELL PEOPLE WHAT THEY’RE GETTING. YOU HAVE TO DISCLOSE TO PEOPLE THE RISKS. YOU HAVE TO DISCLOSE TO PEOPLE WHO THEY’RE DEALING WITH. >> IT’S DIFFERENT THERE. >> EVEN IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY. THEY’RE DOING THE RECRUITING IN THE UNITED STATES. THEY’RE DOING THE ADVERTISING FOR MEDICAL TOURISM HERE IN THE UNITED STATES. THE COMPANIES THAT ARE DOING THE ADVERTISING HERE ARE STILL BOUND BY OUR U.S. LAWS. >> LAST WORD TO YOU, CARSON. FOR THOSE SITTING AT HOME RIGHT NOW THINKING, WELL, YOU KNOW, $6,000 IS BETTER THAN $24,000. MAYBE THIS WON’T HAPPEN TO ME. WHAT SAY YOU? >> THERE ARE OTHER AVENUES. I REGRET DOING IT. I WOULDN’T DO IT AGAIN. DO YOUR RESEARCH. THE OLD ADAGE EVERYONE SAYS ALL THE TIME, BUT DO YOUR RESEARCH. YOU HAVE THE WILLPOWER PROBABLY TO HANDLE IT YOURSELF. YOU DON’T NEED TO DO IT THIS WAY.

>> THERE IS A REASON WE HAVE ALL THE LAWYERS IN AMERICA. THEY’RE NOT ALL BAD. THEY’RE NOT ALL BAD. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR TELLING YOUR STORY. HOPE YOU ARE WELL. WE APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE. >> THANK YOU FOR HAVING US. >> DO YOU WANT TO TELL THE AUDIENCE, THAT WE’VE REACHED OUT TO THE KEY DEFENDANTS INVOLVED IN THE CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT…
