My 600 Pound Life: 2016 Season



Recommended Posts

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!

But, Dr Now did say why didn't you let us know it was too expensive instead of not taking it?

He did. I missed that apparently.

you would think someone who was wanting to get WLS would have researched enough to know that if you can't keep food down then there is something wrong. I am glad he finally went to the doctor though.

Did anyone notice after Skin Tight last week that they were looking for participants? Would any of you consider the show? I'm not near my goal so it's not an option yet.

@@Daveo - Heck no!! Those surgeons appear to be hacks PLUS I would NEVER (no matter how much free surgery or how much they paid me) be able to show that skin on TV! How about you? If you were at goal (which still am not either), would you be game?

@@Daisee68 I've thought a lot about it and as of right now I would say no because I think they could do better at the skin removal. But once I'm at goal and see all the skin I might change my mind if I couldn't get it on my own depending on the cost! It would be a tough decision though because I don't even like my picture taken now. lol

I don't just want someone to hack my loose skin off. I want contouring and muscle repair so I can have a sexy, flat tummy. Those surgeons leave too much fat and skin IMO. I need a PS who is an artist and can see my body's potential.

my thought is maybe they will get so many complaints from viewers that they will do a better job! then I might consider it. lol but again, I don't think I could ever feel comfortable on TV showing all that.

RIght? I mean why would that guy go from MI to Austin, TX for surgeons who clearly are not experts as this? And did you just see his stomach which he said is swelling? That looked very odd to me....

Well the lady from tonight's skin tight actually looked good after hers was done. Probably the best I've seen on there so far.

No worries! Dr Now is so soft spoken it's a miracle he doesn't need sub titles ????

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
