My heart broke Dr proctor when one of your patients passed away after a huge swelling on her leg. she became sepsis and we all know what that means. She died. I felt so bad for her and her family. She did everything right but still died. God Bless he. You were so PROUD of her Dr Proctor.
Ahhh, Dr Proctor finished his training here in Greenville SC, where I've been living for 28 years after moving from NY, where I was born and raised. I used to think that Greenville, SC was just a small country town- BUT so many people seem to have some sort of history here!
I love that you focus on the patient after care. You many feel that bariatric surgery cures all & gives them license to eat what they want. And if they don't address why they eat & how they use food they will not be success. Thanks for making it real
Now, I had actually been working hard at losing weight, all to no avail. Finally, a couple of years ago, my doctor's office ordered some bloodwork, and the results of the blood tests showed severe hypothyroidism. I was immediately prescribed medication, and the dosage is being adjusted as needed. For years, my GP kept telling me to just eat healthier and exercise more, even though I was already very good about doing both of those things. I honestly feel badly for those people on shows like, "1000 lb Sisters, "1000 lb Best Friends," "My 600 lb Life," and, "Too Large," when doctors tell them they need to work harder at losing weight, as that was what my GP had been telling me for years.
Dr. Proctor I love watching you and the amazing work you do I know how hard it is to loose weight naturally as I have lost 6st (because of health reasons) almost 4 years ago and kept it off watching shows like yours has help me to keep going so thank you from me and hello from Ireland 🇮🇪 😊
Dr Procter is extremely nice person. He is very sympathetic to his patients. I would go to him if I needed the surgery. Plus he is not bad to look at!!! Ha ha

I am 61 and 380 pounds. When i was 26 had gastric bypass and at 31 it had to be reversed. Over the years i have gained weight back. I had my family doctor ask local barac. Dr. Locally, in my insurance network, to do me a sleeve. That was abou 7 years ago. She said none would even see me because i had last one reversed in 1991. That one was bypass. Is it possible for someone at my age that has had one reversed to get a sleeve. I have high blood pressure that is usually around 119/78 as i am on med. I have no diabetes or heart disease. Last checked for both in the last year, angela h
You are doing a wonderful job with all the people that have extra kilos is a blessings for them I watch your programs and feel happy for the one's who have three life back you are cutie good looking kind 😘 God bless you and again thanks for what you do
I’ve watched you doctor on Amy and Tammys show, please I need your assistance, I’m from Melbourne Australia, lost weight through so many diets but not stacked it all back on, you know if you have any branches hear in Melbourne please ?, if you could help me please I feel very heavy, always been over 100kg, never been 2 digits, if you could assist please 🇦🇺👮🏽♂️🇼🇸👍🏾
Hi, we do not have any surgeons we work with in Australia. However we have a lot of resources on our blog as well as some free content guides. bcofa.com/blog/ Hope this helps!
Its good thats not only surgery but after care is needed for a life time. And that u inform you're patients a bond between a doc and a patient is inportent.A lot operate u only for the money
I so wish I would have known him sooner, I would not be in a wheel chair since severe back injury. No doctor would operate on me, I wanted to lose weight.
Hi Nancy, we are sorry to hear that! Hopefully you were able to find a bariatric surgeon and program that was able to help you lose weight and be relieved from your pain.
Same here. Yes it is their fault, no one is shoving food down their throat, surgery is only a tool in the weight loss journey. They first have to learn how to eat right and make healthy food choices. If they worked on that first and foremost they could very possibly avoid this surgery. Sadly we are living in a world where people are blaming everyone and everything, instead of themselves, for their poor choices.
My story would blow ur mind. First i was born on Dayton Ohio. Now ...Georgia. sir i have suffered with a eatin disorder....one of my daughters can not seem to loose weight. Shes over weight and im anorexic. Eatting disorders are for a life time something u have to do change life style.
Eating disorders are a dangerous condition that must be taken seriously. We hope you and your daughter are able to get the treatment needed to overcome this condition and begin to have a healthy relationship with food.
It depends on their body mass index. We do bariatric surgery on patients with a BMI of 35 or greater although some surgeons and insurance will cover the surgery if you BMI is 30 or greater with weight related medical conditions.
For patients with diabetes, we recommend they follow a lot carb diet. Here is a guide to bariatric nutrition that details what our surgeons tell bariatric patients bcofa.com/guide/complete-bariatric-nutrition-guide/
Hi Dr. Proctor! I need your help! I am 220 lbs And a diabetic. I am trying to lose weight and make right choices I take pills and insulin for my diabetes. I swing one way of over eating or I swing the other way and not eat enough Help me please It be great if TLC will do a show like myself Thanks, Sarah
I wish you would've been my doctor when I had my surgery back in 2010. I think it's the worst thing I ever did I've had nothing but problems I traded four different health problems for 4 new health problems and I wish I could change it I would love to have my stomach back but I can't so anybody thinking about doing the surgery please think twice.
Hi Janette, we are sorry to hear that! Unfortunately, some patients can experience negative side effects from WLS. Have you followed up with a reputable bariatric surgeon (one that is a part of a Center of Excellence program) to talk about ways they might be able to help? Depending on the type of procedure you had, a revision may be an option
@@bariatriccenters I had gastric bypass in March 2010 and I've had three hernias and I have an iron disorder where I have to have infusions and some other things and I go once a year for bloodwork and I am here in Oregon so I go to Oregon health sciences university and I do go for my regular follow ups but it's been a struggle thank you so much for your reply after all that I have been through I wouldn't recommend this to anybody and I wish I knew all that was ahead of me before I chose this surgery.
Know him from the 1000 pound sisters. He did a good job on Amy.

That's very concerning if you're overweight your DR should encourage you to loose weight! Where are they from?

Hi Dr. Proctor!
I need your help!
I am 220 lbs
And a diabetic.
I am trying to lose weight and make right choices
I take pills and insulin for my diabetes.
I swing one way of over eating or I swing the other way and not eat enough
Help me please
It be great if TLC will do a show like myself
Thanks, Sarah
Weight loss surgery is a great option for diabetic patients. If this is something you are open to, we recommend you explore bariatric surgery.
If you're 220 lb you should have no problem losing weight and you don't necessarily need weight loss surgery
I wish you would've been my doctor when I had my surgery back in 2010. I think it's the worst thing I ever did I've had nothing but problems I traded four different health problems for 4 new health problems and I wish I could change it I would love to have my stomach back but I can't so anybody thinking about doing the surgery please think twice.
