Addicted to My 600 pound life.



Recommended Posts

My 600 lb life is a great motivator and reminder why I got sleeved, even though I was not even close to being that size. Sometimes I want to throat punch the whiney patients though LOL

Personally, never got why people like shows such as this or Hoarders. I'm not a fan of watching other real peoples' struggles as entertainment.

To each their own, haha!

I started binge watching it the night before my surgery. Lost a few hours of sleep from it. Since surgery, 10 days ago, I've finished season 3. Season 1 & 2 aren't available on demand so I need to track them down.

I like watching My 600# life and the transformation show. I agree with what someone said earlier about the enablers and the whiney patients. I like Dr. Now because he doesn't play into the lazy game and tells you how it is. I prefer someone to be straight with me and not sugar coat things. I watch the show as often as I can.

You know what's a funny (odd) observation I just made?

All the comments about this show and how it drives people crazy that some of these people aren't compliant with their surgeries and how they like Dr Now because he doesn't put up with excuses? People who point the same things out to others in this very forum are told they aren't being supportive and are called bullies.

Why is that?

"Do as I say, not as I do" didn't get to be a cliche for nothing!

I've watched a few episodes but mostly I just want to slap the stupid out of the families. Can't watch hoarders either.

One more vote for Fat Doctor. It's real about the benefits and the risks. One of the patients never wakes up from the procedure????. Additionally, it's got the best videos of the surgery itself. I learned more about what the surgery actually looks like by watching that show than all of the doctors' charts put together.

I love that show! Though, one episode really frustrated me. There was one guy who almost completely refused to change. He was also an ass. It was hard to watch, but it was nice watching the doctor set him straight.

There's one patient in the beginning scenes of the show that says "I need somebody to help me say no"

For some reason seeing that one part in the beginning of each episode pisses me off.

Still love the show tho!!! It makes my family crazy that I'm so addicted to it!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
