He needs to be literally attached to the table so he doesn't fall....😲

[OoogleEyes]

No family means no obligatory hand wringing scenes, so there's that. Little miracles!

My leg hurts just looking at him...and this is my first view and he has already lost 270 pounds.  I can't imagined what you witness in the first 5 minutes!

Its slowly gotten worse with time appearence wise. Though it has thinned out some. Looked like a giant testicle.

Why not hack off the lymphedema first?

Likely, too much tissue/blood vessels, and risk of bleeding/infection.

TIMBER!

[CrazyInAlabama]

My guess is the Lymphedema is a separate surgery.   Removing that will take hours tying off blood vessels, and all of the issues with vascular masses.   I think it will take Dr. Now, and a few other vascular surgeons to do that.    I can't imagine how much it weights.

I'm hoping when Jessica left and went home, she picked up Bella (the dog), and left.

Yes, because if one of his legs falls off the table, he will roll right off with it. OMG!

How ya'll doin'?

Just got in from rehearsal.  Eating habit was a pork chop, mashed potatoes, salad, garlic bread, lemonade,  peach cobbler with ice cream.   Not on the 1200 calorie a day diet plan.

I can't watch at the moment, but will try to read the chat for an idea of how much of a train wreck we have tonight.  I did see a mention of an 8 pound weight loss  so that can't be good.

Damn, that sounds like a mighty fine dinner to me! Any extras? 😊

Looking sort of salami-like now...

[Ivylady]

"Just be cognizant that this thing can overshoot very easily!" I don't know why, but that cracked me up. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[MelissaMinion]

Oh, I’m glad they will be keeping him in the hospital during recovery.

Man, I had one bite of pizza left and you had to throw that out there.

[peaceknit]

Ten minutes left. Doesn't look good.

[DropTheSoap]

Not sure which is worse....the 3rd testicle or the moobs/chest hair.

Sorry. I couldn't resist.

I laughed. Out loud. In reality.

I was SURE they were setting us up for a scene in which they DID overshoot, and we would see a terrible tumble(r).

[Hellga]

Dr. Now was going easy on him... maybe because he felt the approval would motivate him, and no-approval would lead to him dropping out...  this approach seems to have paid off.

[DEG9]

Hopefully, the dog belongs to girlfriend, and she took with her when she exited stage left.

What is that food he ordered? Soup broth? Didn't know you could do that. Too bad nobody is ever there. No friends. 

I thought Chinese food - wonton soup or something?

If you get it from delivery, the broth is usually separate from the rest of the stuff.

I thought about that - but he didn't dump the veg & meat in that I saw, so it looked like he was just eating broth.

One of the 600+ reasons why Dr. Now is a better person than me.

[mellowjoi]

I do feel bad for him that no family member or friend was there for his surgery.  

 

[Wollstonecraft]

I want to push Mr. Liberty Bibbity into the water.

Maybe he'll realize he's just got himself to rely on, along with some visits from the cousin.

[Callaphera]

Jesus, Pimple Lady, stop fondling that guy's nose. So much for dessert tonight.

Now, THAT would be something to see! That would beat "ow ma laig!" in a heartbeat

I'm sure his winning personality had something to do with that.

I have been laughing like a hyena for the last two hours. My husband has the TV on in the other room, or I'm sure he'd burst in to see if I'm in need of aid.

Only the take out box I brought home for Mr Twopper.   I may never want to eat again unlike the people we see who won't stop.   Can't wait to watch this trainwreck.  Guess he was not successful or got surgery very late in the episode.

Good night, til next time, if there is a next time.  Can't wait for a break in the rehearsal schedule so I can get here on time. 

[MelissaMinion]

There are no book, no magazines, nothing to show he has the slightest bit of interest in anything but eating. The guy needs serious counseling.

[gameshowjunkie]

My company IM system has a gif of Dr. Now wheeling in the scale and smiling. I use it way too often.

[Pepper Mostly]

Holy shit, he's lost over 300 pounds but still as big as a large farm animal. 

[hoosiermom]

My bowels have sympathy pains for these patient's bowels because I always have to poop during the show! And who has that kind of time?

[Callaphera]

There better be a "Where are they now?" special at the end of this season with all these late bloomers.

Now the table on his leg looks like a testicle that oops slid down too far.

Yikes, that room look like the one in OK.

Oh boy, a good testicle joke never, ever gets old for me! Here's your pair of gasoline soaked drawers. Wear them with pride my friend! 😁

All this without Lola???

This guy is chronic. They could get another 2 hours out of him next week.

Yup, lost 373 and STILL has to be transported by stretcher and ambulance.  Poor dude.

[MelissaMinion]

I’m torn between wanting to see a second episode where he gets the leg salami removed, and just never seeing his annoying self again.

What I really want is a follow up on the dog.

Edited January 23, 2020 by MelissaMinion

[novhappy]

I feel like he is just A happier person with his food

[Ivylady]

His leg is tragic. 

[CrazyInAlabama]

Without the Lyphedema showing, both legs are huge (when he was weighing in at the hospital you really couldn't see it).    Oh no, he found a close by market.

"ow ma testicle is dragging on the ground"

Yea I'm going to hell.

Edited January 23, 2020 by Chicklet
Thanks for the drawers.

[Callaphera]

Aw, he's taking his lymphedema for a walk. That poor dog is jealous as shit right now. 

[mmecorday]

Little kid: Mommy! What's on that man's leg?

Mom: It's not polite to stare! (Continues staring)

[Wollstonecraft]

That lymphedema has got to go.

It said he liked video games. Although Jessica probably took the console.

[DC Gal in VA]

Is there anyone here who cares less than me whether or not this shit stain succeeds? Please, please no follow-ups on this waste of space.
