    I’m 15 and almost 200lbs. I’ve been going to the gym every day now, eating salads, and drinking water. I’m trying to cut out added sugars, I’m trying to turn my life around

      He sure is, He has been a Godsend for numerous people. Some people sadly flat out refuse to help themselves thinking that a surgery will magically cause instant weight loss, they will look like models with zero effort on their end. Dr Now will be 80 in Oct and still going strong, I hope he writes a book about working with severely morbidly obese people.

      @winniethepoohandeeyore2 He even provides the hard truth to those stubborn ones. It amazes me. People tend to back off when met with resistance and that stubborn personality. He snaps some out, but like you said, some can't be helped. I believe his hard truth approach should be taught in colleges for people earning their doctorate. Can't save them all, but Dr. Now seems to save more.

It always confuses me as to why the caregivers would take such treatment, then at the same time continue to give into the demands for unhealthy bags full of junk food! someone needs to grow a spine

      Have you ever heard of mental abuse or verbal abuse?? It's worse than physical. Also I don't believe most of what these people say! They're only telling you one side of the story. I'm related to someone who had someone like this in their family let someone scream at you all night long all day long call the police on you and say they're abusing you!! After 40 years my cousin finally got sick of it. She abandoned him. Good for her. If I had to live with someone like this who complain all the time someone might get hurt

    Why do these people think their food addiction becomes more manageable just because they'll get a smaller stomach? It is incredibly common for bypass patients to switch to drugs or alcohol because the underlying trauma is never addressed. It bothers me that not every person on the show gets mental health counseling when literally every one of them needs it.

      @moconnorduber1787 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +19

      There are a lot of people who experience trauma growing up, myself included. Very little to eat included. But they do not do this. Neither did I. These people should have been addressing their weight before it reached this level. The people who enable them buy actually buying,cooking, and serving the food should have never been doing that.

    I have always been overweight. My highest weight was 300 lbs, thats when i told myself enough is enough and i have nobody to blame but myself. I have maintained 175 for 9 years now. One thing i do is to NOT eat passed 5 o'clock in the afternoon!! I also try to only have carbs twice a week only. Just those 2 things have really helped me take off weight and keep it off. Small changes can lead to big accomplishments!!

    Why do these massive people ALWAYS have wives/girl friends or husbands/boy friends who do EVERYTHING for them? I had trouble getting dates in high school because I was 15 pounds overweight. In those days, if you were 30 lbs. overweight you were a freak. It just seems to be part of the syndrome to have a partner who is virtually captive and just keeps the addiction going.

Shannon is one of the best examples of it. She focuses WAY too much on issues in her childhood - which nearly all of these patients do. They are adults - this woman is middle aged - yet they talk on and on about events that happened when they were seven and how that explains all of the bad choices they make as adults. It’s not helpful and seems to be a psychological crutch for them. They have a toddler-like relationship to food, staring at it and just wolfing it down, and they throw tantrums like toddlers. Sad.

      I don't know about other states, but here where I live, if one spouse is the certified caregiver of the other spouse, that caregiver receives SS benefits, nearly as much as if they were working a full-time outside job. They do have to show/prove that they have been trained and certified as a primary caregiver, they cannot just walk in and say so.
      My next door neighbor, the wife, is her husband's primary caregiver, certified, so she receives benefits from SS. They aren't overweight, though; he has a degenerative spinal condition and he had to retire at an age that was too young for Social Security benefits, so he had to take SSD.
      The ginormous one is also typically on SSD (which Social Security should not be doing). They also receive SNAPS/food stamps, Medicare and Medicaid (and again, should not), they raid food banks to get free food, they buy other food from places like the Dollar stores, getting the absolute cheapest junk there is, etc.

      Well the surgery will kind of force them to eat less because their stomachs are physically smaller. They can try to do it the old fashioned way but the only thing stopping them from eating more is discipline. And who’s to say they won’t crack one day and just go back to old ways? If they try that soon after the surgery there’s dire consequences.

      Because the surgery can potentially do two important things:
      1. Make their stomach MUCH smaller, so if they overeat, they get sick and throw up
      2. Sometimes (this is unpredictable, because it varies just like fingerprints and arteries do) the surgical removal also removes some of the person's body's ghrelin production, so their hunger gets reduced.
      That said, I'm glad I lost weight without surgery, because it can be risky.

    2. My will to live tastes better than any food.
    3. Simply eat less and slowly weened myself off of certain foods. For example, if I'm craving something instead of eating a troth of it. Smaller portions of it.
    4. Drink more water, even if it's flavored water, versus soda and juices.
    5. Incorporate fruits & vegetables.
    6. And lastly....Move! Wiggle feet, kick legs, lift arms. Simply move if possible. Something is better than nothing, and build yourself up.
