Wow. I just stumbled across this and watched the videos. Serious wake up call. There is no amount of fussing and crying, no feeling sorry for yourself and cheating, no skipping exercise, no grazing, no lying, no self decption that gets past the reality of the consequences of addiction to food.

Dominique Lanoise, a 600-pound food addict, remains trapped in her bedroom -- and desperate to lose weight.

TLCexternal-link.png reports on her story at 9 p.m. Wednesday in “600-Pound Mom: Race Against Time.”

I am watching it now! She acts like the surgery is her magic bullet. She is not even trying to stick to a diet. Hard to believe they will do the surgery for her when she keeps gaining weight.

I watched it, also!

I watched that entire series of "my 600 lb life" I think is what it was called. Huge eye opener. My heart ached for all of them. But it was great to watch because it followed 4 people over e course of 7 years. It showed the struggles they continued to have over that entire time frame. I highly recommend it for anyone who thinks WLS is an easy way out.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
