Heads up - New Series of British TV Documentary "Fat Doctors"



Recommended Posts

Several months ago I let everyone know about a great TV series I had found on Youtube called "Fat Doctor" about bariatric surgeon Shaw Somers. The show follows one or two new patients undergoing wls. It's a bit graphic but real and interesting.



There is at least another entire new season now on youtube and a show called "Fat Surgeons"


and for those of you who watched the earlier seasons you'll be happy to know that they follow up on earlier patients so you can get a real feel of how much weight they have lost.



I won't give anything away but there is one patient they follow up on and I literally had no idea who he was until they showed his before photos. The transformation was utterly breathtaking.



Anyway enjoy !!

I don't know whether you would be able access this - as it is on a British website - but this is the channel over here that is showing the series 'Fat Surgeons'.

This is the link to both series and all the episodes. Hopefully it'll work for you all. You may have to register to access.

Fingers crossed! :)

Yes he's lovely and we mostly seem to talk about music as I'm a singer in a band and he plays guitar. He instantly gives you confidence that you have done the right thing.

Yes, I started watching it before I saw your announcement.

For anyone who wanted a quick link with searching, go to: http://bit.ly/2vJ9uZf

This lists the series (almost) from beginning to end ... it's nearly in order on the FAT DOCTOR Youtube page.

      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.
