Fat Doctor show on youtube-awesome!



Recommended Posts

I just wanted to give everyone here a head's up on this! A friend on the RNY boards once mentioned this show so I went over to youtube to check it out.

It's an awesome weight loss show from England and sort of like "my 600 lb life" but the patients tend to be more around 250-400 lbs.

The shows offer some really good insight into lifestyle post op, eating, and shows the entire surgeries. it is fairly graphic but also VERY educational into the entire WLS industry.

It doesn't hurt that the dr on the show is also easy on the eyes and very down to earth with a true passion to help people!

there are only a couple VSG patients that I have seen, and a few lap-band, but mostly RNY but still a really good show.

hope you enjoy!

Fat Doctor

I watch it on Hulu...I have only seen one VSG, all the rest are RnY, but it's a great show...super informative. Plus, I'm a sucker for almost anything British (though you will have to keep a calculator handy to figure out how many pounds is 25 stone! [14 lbs = 1 stone])

I love that show! LOL, I did keep my phone right by me to calculate the weights as well :) The Dr seems to care and I love hearing him talk ;) Great show, very informative.

This show is more intense, shows the actual surgery, it has way more episodes than my 600 lb life. Fantastic series!!

5 seasons of Fat Doctor are streaming on Hulu now. I just got started watching it - it's definitely worth checking out.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
