Any online documentaries that are recommended?



Recommended Posts

I performed some basic YouTube searches and what not, but have only found a few home-made videos about the processes.

Granted, those are very informative, but also include personal interjection based upon ones personal experience, which isn't what everyone may experience. With the temptation some have to offer armchair therapist advice, I am wondering if there are any medically sound documentaries that could be recommended with regard to the sleeve procedure, pre and post op.

Any recommendations/links would be greatly appreciated.

Fat Doctor on youtube...a FAB british show about weight loss surgeons. mostly RNY surgeries, a couple sleeves and a few lapbands. all around though a great show.

really covers post op, eating, family, successes, etc. much better than my 600 lb life.

youtube has the first four seasons totally uploaded and season 5 is coming in a couple months

also the series "Independent Lens" on PBS did a great weight loss show last month i think it was called 'all of me' or something similar. the entire show is fully uploaded on their website.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
