I watch it everytime I see it on tv. I have seen several episodes now with eating disorders like bulletin and anorexia. I have yet to see one where they follow a morbidly obese patient who is addicted to food.< /p>

I think they definately should!

Netflix has a season of intervention available of instant download now. There are 3 episodes in this season about people with binging disorders. Of course, these three people are all average to underweight. I agree, they need to have a show centered around food addictions/binge eating of a person that is obese. I have watched 6 seasons of this show on Amazon Prime and they never did this on any episode. I can only speculate as to why.

When you watch these shows, its amazing the correlation you begin to see between drug addiction and food addiction. I know this first hand since I've had problems with both at different times in the past. Unfortunately, I've come across many morbidly obese individuals (with food addiction) that refuse to see this or be related in any way to a drug addict or their problems.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
