Dorian 683 Posted February 19, 2014 I liked this one too. He was so positive and really tried to eat right and exercise. He was one that truly deserved the second chance. 2 lynn2win and ladyd728 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrsG 329 Posted February 20, 2014 Yes, James story was a good one. I love when things totally turn around for these people on the show. So many times obese people are perceived as having zero willpower and that's just so not true. I think it's great that this dr is willing to help those that are 600+ and give them second chances at life. I really do wish the best for them and for all of us that have struggled with our weight. 3 lynn2win, Doing It 4 Them and pquinn181 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LynRN 294 Posted February 20, 2014 I love the Surgeon on the show. He does not accept their excuses and tells them the truth. I really like to see his reaction when they tell him that the weight they gained is Water weight. He told one girl that she would have had to drink 300 gallons of water to gain the 17 lbs that she put on. I like that he calls it like he sees it 5 takingaleap, Doing It 4 Them, Ginger Snaps and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like that he calls it like he sees it I don't have edema but my mom does and it is absolutely possible to gain 17 lbs of water weight. My mom had 63 lbs of water weight and ended up in the hospital due to it. She is coming home soon but had iv of lasix for several days. I know it wasn't real weight because she eats what we bring her and she is lucky to get in 800 calories a day because she has no appetite. With that said a lot of people is that as an excuse and the dr sees thru that for sure. plus if their chest is clear and legs not showing edema than it isnt water weight.

MrsG 329 Posted February 21, 2014 I wish I could watch this!!! I only have basic cable and netflix. I've seen Melissa's story on netflix which really hit home with me. Her story was amazing! I love that she got off all her weight, reached her goal, had a baby and continued to keep it off. She was very determined and worked very hard. I like that she went on to work for the dr helping counsel other patients seeking wls. 3 KristinaRnY, Susysleever and takingaleap reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MrsG 329 Posted February 26, 2014 Tara on tonite is she the first one to have the sleeve done on this show...I have seen a lot of them have gastric bypass I'm watching it now. She's not the first to have the sleeve, Penny had the sleeve done. I think these are the only 2 tho, the rest I've seen have all been gastric bypass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
