Thoughts on why the show is so popular on this app? I know it's about ow/obese people but it truly makes me sad to watch.. can't watch another episode.

I think he is a bad Dr for a lot of reasons but mainly because he does every surgery under the sun and a good surgeon doesn't do that.

He drives me nuts

Fat Doctor is a much better show. The surgeon on there is a cutie patootie and he's MUCH more empathetic than Dr Now. You can see he really cares about the well being of his patients.

Check it out! Seasons 1-4 are on YouTube.

Totally agree about Fat Doctor.

Dr Now has little empathy. I hate his bedside manner.

I have never heard of that show! I'll have to check it out thanks for the tip!

Once was enough for me.

I kind of do research by watching it. Also I find similarities between my life and some of theirs. I also feel good when they succeed and it makes me hopeful because I am not as big as them and feel like I can do it if they can.

I watch it because as they give excuses,I can hear myself making the same excuses. It helps me realize that I could have gone up to 600 too. I was sleeved December 1, and I am down to a BMI of 34 from the 40's. In 30 pounds,I will be just overweight. The first part of this is hard.

Same reason why lots of people subscribe to the channel of Eugenia Cooney maybe? It's some kind of a modern freak show.

His patients survive and they lose weight. What more is he supposed to do?

The ones we see on the show...

If you watch skin tight he is doing plastics and all kinds of other surgeries. Surgeons specialize for a reason.

I don't like his personality and I don't like his methods. My dislike of him isn't really for debate.

Some people like him, he helps people. He could take some lessons from the guys on Fat Doctor though.

My surgeon does other surgeries too. Not sure what there is to like about Fat Doctor. All the episodes I have seen of Fat Doctor, he doesn't even do the surgery laparoscopically. I've also saw the Fat Doctor tell patients they have a 10% chance of dyeing. That doesn't sound too good to me. I never gained weight at any of my appointments with my surgeon so I think I would get along with Dr Now just fine.
