Dr. Phil show featured a women that lost 300 pounds with the VSG

I watched an interesting episode yesterday on the Dr. Phil show. S16 Ep8 Even after losing weight she still feels less than.... We can lose the weigh but the inside we have to work on every day

I'm Having Trouble Connecting With Who I Am Now,? Says Woman After Losing 300 Lbs.

I watched that last night from my dvr and I could totally relate to how she felt about herself after losing the weight. For me I have lost over 200 with my sleeve and due to the excess skin I have I still struggle with feeling like I have big fat rolls even though it's just skin. I measure myself often and weigh myself daily to make sure I stay the course and don't regain at all. It is hard to not still feel that less than feeling.

I watched that episode yesterday. I had tears on my eyes when I saw how happy she was when they surprised her with a facelift and a tummy tuck.

If she doesn't get rid of the 200lbs she was on the show with, she'll end up dead. She was a perfect example of an abused spouse.

Her daughter was the only saving grace.

Making arrangements to give her a tummy tuck and face lift was a giant Dr Phil fail, but then let's be honest, she was only on there because she gave him the opportunity to plug his Dr on Demand business and his son's show The Doctors.

I hope she lives to enjoy her free plastics

I agree...her spouse is definitely abusing her and he thinks it's OK...he's going to kill her.nance

I completely understand. The loss doesn't fix our brains. I have lost more than 50lbs, and TONS of inches (I'm under 5feet tall so 50 lbs is a lot on me, and there are still days when I feel like I haven't lost an ounce.
I try my best to push those thoughts out of my head. If I'm having a really hard day I just open up pics of me on my phone from before opti - that always helps.

It proves how low our self worth is as an obese person and when she kept saying he loved her so deeply and was a good person I was thinking take off your fat girl glasses.

I love Dr. Phil so I need to find this episode and DVR it.

I love his comment "how's that working for ya"!
