Excellent TV Show about Bariatric Surgery

I've been watching a show called "Fat Doctor" on YouTube. It's a British show which documents different people and their weight loss surgeries with a doctor named Shaw Somers. Very well made (very graphic surgery scenes too)

FYI - for those of you like me who love their smart phones apps - you can Stream YouTube shows to your tv with a FREE app called Twonky if you have a Roku box or Xbox or Wii and some of the DVD players that have Netflix capabilities (I love this app it's the best invention ever) PM if you need any help with it ! (No I'm not affiliated and I'm not a salesperson !!)

Very cool. I just watched an episode. I just wish they waited like a year to show the result.

I know I totally agree - as much as I really enjoy the show, I always wish they perhaps did a six and 12 month follow up so you can really see how they did. Although if you watch at the beginning they show one of the yearly reunions where they all come back and share stories and you will see a couple of the people in there and how they look now. Some of them are just breathtaking. But I just have to take my hat off to some of these people in the shows for their complete honesty because sometimes it's absolutely startling how truthful they are about themselves.

Did they give a reason why they were open bypass?

Well I might be wrong but the show started in 2006 so that might have been the main surgery available then. But that's just a guess.
