Ok guys. Let's talk when it goes off!

This week's recap:

Charles: returns; last week he was turned away after being rejected due to not losing enough weight pre-op. he got angry after being jerked around and "fired" the drs. he comes back this week to ask that they please do his surgery.
OK whats with the shrink saying they shouldnt do it because "angry patients sue" what the hell is THAT??? after 23 days he is down 50lbs

Jennifer: infertitlity issues force her to seek relief thru WLS. i missed part of what they were saying. she developes a stenosis? i only heard them talk about "ballooning". did she have a stricture? 7 weeks out she is down 60 lbs ( IM JEALOUS )

Denise: her surgeon was under investigation for mistakes and has since had his license revoked. She is looking into plastic surgery at this point. Butt and thigh lift.


*Allen: 7 months post op visit. drs discuss removal of breasts

Kenya how does Allen look? I cant watch right now cuz my cable is turned off for the moment

[Kenyar]

well i didnt see the first time they showed him so i cant report changes. he looks VERY saggy. his breasts are literally in his armpits which is why they want to remove them i would guess. they havent showed his story just yet just clips so far

[Kenyar]

why does he have a breathing tube in his throat?

[beckamarie]

because when he was over 1,000 pounds he had breathing troubles and had to have a trake (sp) put in...I wonder if he'll ever get it taken out?

[Kenyar]

oh wow. ok they are going to show his story after the commercial.

[beckamarie]

ok I'll be waiting..lol

[Kenyar]

ok allen is 7 mos post op. they want to discuss removing skin at this point. he looks a lot better. they showed him before and now. he is down to 510 lbs. he has A LOT of skin under the arms, his breasts, his legs....i feel bad doc wants to remove the breasts completely.

[beckamarie]

Oh wow he will be in for a HUGE operation for all that I wonder if his body can handle it?

I always enjoy this show...I look forward to watching every week !
I was surprised to see Charles come back actually...Last week he fired the Drs because the Drs suggested that he wait 2-3 weeks to get his weight down a little to make the surgery more safe ! I could understand him getting angry if they said 2-3 months but I thought Charles was out of line ! I thought it was interesting when he did come back to talk to the Drs , that he brought his children with him...really brave move on his part ! I was impressed with his 50 lb loss in 23 days though...thats a pretty good start !
Allen ...with his weight is really doing good...I understand hes weighing less than 600 lbs . Hes got a pretty rough go ahead of him though. There going to take off his breasts ...each side weighing about 30 lbs I think they said ! Then there going to slowly work down word ! But Im pretty sure hes going to get threw this OK...He seems to be really positive !!
