My 600 Pound Life: 2016 Season

Did anyone watch skin tight last week?

I'm really not impressed with any of these procedures. They just remove skin they make no efforts or bad efforts at body sculpting.

Seeing the complications afterward is educational.

I watched. They must be getting the surgery for free...the Hispanic woman was from NYC and had Dr. Now do her surgery down in Houston. Makes no sense to go out of town..or to go to him. He's not a plastic surgeon and it showed. Though with all that loose skin the first woman had, I'd just want it gone as well. All that skin must have been horrible to carry around.

I love that show! It motivates me and makes me remember all the emotions I've gone through so I don't forget where I started 3 years out VSG

I watched and found the results depressing or I need to lower my expectations of what plastic surgery can do.

Go into @ JamieLogical 's profile and see her plastic surgery results. Impressive. And she had it done in Mexico.

You are right @Babbs. She does look great! That gives me hope! Can't wait until dr gives ok to start researching it! I am obsessed with getting my arms done this year if nothing else!

I beleive she had a Tummy Tuck and boobs done. But her tummy tuck is one of the best I've seen! I know that Cowgirl Jane has had her arms done, too. So yeah, there is definitely hope for good plastics. I just think much research on the surgeon ahead of time is the key.

Dr Now is not a plastic surgeon and he is old. The other 2 doctors are just not very skilled. Every outcome on this show so far has been sub par.

There are lots of good doctors, many of the skilled affordable ones are out of the US. Start researching on Real Self. The good doctors are already booked until 2017.

i have watched this show from day 1 ... and find it a somewhat honest showing of what it is like inside the mind and life of an obese person ... especially the parts we like to hide from everyone ...

In Nikki's episode ... I wanted to SLAP her sister silly ... when they were having their talk on the bed ... I could tell right away the sister wanted no part of her STILL .... and didn't even really want to hug her ... did anyone else notice the sister's arm slumped down at her side rather than AROUND Nikki ?!

And her lame excuse for why she didn't want to get close to Nikki or remain in contact? "I was afraid I'd lose you" ... OK AND ?!?!?! IF we all used that excuse for keeping away from someone ... the world would end.

Geesh woman ... quit being so freaking selfish and realize that Nikki may NEED you ... had you been there for her all those years ... MAYBE she wouldn't have ended up so self indulgent and MAYBE she wouldn't have needed surgery to fix it ...

Ugh.

Ugh.

This is likely the family dynamic...and a big reason why she got so heavy in the first place. Some of us just like to eat but most of us have issues that just manifest themselves in overeating. Our addiction is just more noticeable and unfortunately less acceptable than others.

Okay tonight's episode with Chad:

Did anyone else get annoyed with Dr Now for getting mad at Chad for not wanting to take TWO HUNDRED DOLLAR A MONTH MEDICATION??

I mean, really? I wouldn't take it, either! I'm sorry!

[Daveo 485]

can't watch it until I get home from work tonight, what was the medication for? @@Babbs

[Daisee68 2,493]

I missed that part. Just turned it on during Skin Tight to learn that both patients did it "the hard way - good old fashioned diet and exercise on their own..." Really? This is a show about WLS?! Ok, I know I said I wasn't going to watch anymore but what can I say - I am a liar.

[Daisee68 2,493]

And PS - when I finally get this surgery, PLEASE FOR Goodness sake, Do NOT bring me the big tub of removed skin for me to look at while I am holding a vomit bag in my hand! Blech!

That's what was odd to me. He had a bypass, and it seems it was to keep the swelling down in the opening in his pouch? So because he wasn't taking it, he couldn't keep anything down and Dr Now had to go in and widen the opening. My husband had a bypass, and I don't remember him taking any medication for that? Of course, his was almost 10 years ago, so maybe I don't remember?
