I like Skin Tight because it's people closer to my weight at their start. My 600 lb life is harder for me to relate to.

Steven ... I wanted to smack that kid .. the disrespect and dysfunction in that family.. I thought I was watching Maury.



The whole family is so dysfunctional, Steven needs some inpatient therapy. I so wish he would get the help he needs. I wonder if a court order could keep him in treatment to get off the drugs and get healthy.

Plus I low key hate Dr Now.


HE seems like the alien to me. That whiny, nasally voice. The thought of him fumbling around with my innards gives me the creeps.

Haha been watching since the first show.. there have been several I would love to slap around...they just kill me.. they don't understand that some of us had to fight tooth and nail and then wait forever to even get a date.. what a blessing they got and skin removal on top of it all.....and you know most if not all of them were paid and got free Healthcare because they couldn't get out a bed to work.

He is really mentally ill! The way he treats people, like they are peasants smh. And his dad is such an enabler & Steven talks to him like he's NOTHING. I wonder how he's doing now, 🤔

I don't recall which episode it was, but there was one I watched right after I had surgery where the mother was bringing this kid a trough of taco bell and asking him if it felt good in his tummy. I never wanted to harm someone so much as that lady.

...well maybe I was a little envious of the food trough at the time. :D

Fat Doctor UK is very cool. I watch a few episodes over the weekend. I did have to get a stones = lbs app to follow along. I kind of like the show a little better because I can actually understand the doctor and it seem like the patients are very normal. Then again the trailer park drama is kinda fun =D

One of my favorite Dr. Noz-isms was when one of his bigger, bed-ridden patients said .. "but I'm starving!" and Dr. Noz replied "You're not starving you have over 800 lbs of fat!" (that was a paraphrase) Yes it was a childish response BUT sometimes its like he is dealing with impulsive children who don't get it! How could you not get it! When they don't lose anything or even gain a few and they have this look like, what did I do? It's almost comical. My other favorite response is when they have gained and say .. Dr Noz isn't going to be happy with me... He isn't their parent! I just wish one of them would say .. Doc I have been cheating all month, I am so mad at myself!

WLS isn't a magic pill .. its all up to you!

I caught a few minutes of one episode. Patient was over a year out and had already lost like 200lbs, but needed to lose another 50 before getting some skin removed. Doc thought she could do it in 2 months, and everyone was disappointed when she "only" lost 8 in that time. It showed some of what she was eating, and it looked fine to me!

Unrealistic expectations...

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
