Very sorry to hear of this. She just wasn't accepting of the help like Allen was. 😞

I've been thinking about this episode since last night. I think Shakyia has a big truth problem. Fairly obvious she was lying about being in hospice & likely about the entire medical emergency/ventilator also. If she told the hospital to call Dr Now like she claimed, they would have. And she said she wasn't allowed visitors? All lies. I'm going to give her family some benefit of the doubt here because they really did seem to be supportive. I suspect she never even tried & maybe that angered them as she got less mobile & mom & sister decided they did not want to be her bedbound caretakers God forbid & made her a ward of the state before it happened. Family looked active & I can imagine how frustrated they were to see her eating all day not trying to help herself. She needs that place where Tammy Slaton stayed! Along with the successes, I think it's good to show these episodes too, it shows how hard obesity is to overcome for some folks & that's just reality. Sometimes we can be surprised too, like Dr Now says....there's always hope.

Her final words were how she was going to get that surgery some day & "won't that be glorious". 😞

I'm really sad about this. For some unknown reason she's got zero support. Totally unknown medical status, her story is suspicious to say the least. We'll likely never know what happened to her and that's that.

Where did the sister go? The friend sister? Mom? There was a house full of people but now she's alone? Obviously she doesn't know the meaning of hospice, which is for terminally ill conditions. She probably meant rehab, which would still be a lie. She's going to disappear in 4...2...1...

What the hell happened to all her support system? She can afford an extended stay hotel all of a sudden? None of this adds up.

I'm giving her a 25% chance of success. Prove me wrong, Rose.

He's not as big as some of the heavyweights we've seen in this show. I think a lot of his pain is from those infected bedsores. I hope Dr Now can do something to help improve this guy's situation, it's obvious he wants to.

I really hope this guy can be helped. I think he's trying & has a good attitude. What a nightmare situation he's in. Infected bedsores are a very bad scene.

How did that happen? 😵‍💫

So they live in Houston now. And that's about the only "accomplishment" here. We've seen Dr Now for about 3 minutes so far.

So actual weight loss just got kinda lost in this story.

Their rental mobile home has a plywood floor. No way they could afford a hired driver. But on a positive note, dude is a working man & damn I respect that.

Yeah this isn't going well. Something's off here & it's not just the change in there usual background music.n Dr Now is not giving enabler hubby enough shit for his part in the household eating dysfunction. Where's the usual input from other family members?

4 months & car still in the shop? I sense that initial spurt of motivation to diet & move to Houston has subsided somewhat.

Can already tell that hubby isn't going to have much patience for this diet shit.

OMG I just realized I haven't noticed any tattoos!!!! Can this be true or did I just miss them?

It's gonna take the 1st hour just to get her to Dr Now for visit #1. I can't believe they'll move to Houston. Doesn't bode well, but I'm always hoping for the best.

That shop gave them a free rental car, despite her size & possible extra wear & tear on the car? Wow. 👍🏼

This show has a big vehicle breakdown rate for the trip to Houston.

I think the show pays extra for shower scene, so maybe it pays for shopping trip too?

Looks like this is her first time ever leaving the house, is it due to the TLC obligatory grocery shopping trip?

Thanks for the synopsis. She was going too fast for my weak comprehension skills & I couldn't catch up.

Whoa there. What happened to her first child?

She's still mobile? Wowza.
