Fat Doctor

does anyone watch?? I just found 5 seasons on Hulu. It's a UK show following SMO individuals as they go through wls. 

I like it so far! Of course I'm on episode 1 haha. 

I haven't seen it, I found his youtube channel.. I'm currently catching up on the vikings but once I am caught up I'll check it out.. thank you!

I love Vikings. Such an excellent show.

my wls doctor was fat! he gave himself wls

true story

I've watched every episode and find myself going back and watching them again. At first I had to turn my head or close my eyes when they showed the actual surgery now it doesn't bother me.

I found this before I had surgery, and I wouldn'****ch, because I didn't want to freak myself out.  I think I'll go back and watch it now.

I really enjoy this show and found it encouraging as I was making my decision to get the sleeve.  Dr. Shaw Somers, the main surgeon they profile, is so compassionate and such a strong advocate for the basic dignity and worth of overweight people.  I found it very validating and inspiring.  There are also a bunch of episodes on YouTube.  Check it out!

I watched it a long time ago but they only had five episodes available at the time. I guess they added more. The ones I watched he was only doing lap band and RNY.

It's a good show! It's interesting how the rnys are all done open on the show- I wonder if it's because of the patients size or the fact it makes for more interesting footage. Sometimes it makes me a little squeamish, esp when the dr is elbow deep pulling out intestines- but it's quite informative! I thought it was neat when in season 1 episode 2 he removed a gallbladder with gallstones- he opened it up and it was just full of these black rocks! Crazy.
