This is not my 911 wig!

[DropTheSoap]

I like DGAF Lola.

[Suzywriter]

I am never having that look down the throat procedure. It looks so icky.

[Guest]

OMG. I am so embarrassed for this woman. Get your shit together, Erica! 

[Scratches19]

Sedated Erica: The longest consecutive time stretch she hasn’t said @Jimmy. 

[Armchair Critic]

I will admit my hair salon has these super deep sofas and I always try to perch myself a bit forward so I won't look like I am scrambling when I have to stand up. 😂

why do you think Jimmy left you?

“All the medical stuff. My Journey was hard on him. “
 

i thought of the band. 

Jimmy stopped Beleivin'? He was not forever hers Faithfully? He got tired of Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin' her folds?

I’m willing to bet there’s nothing wrong with her.

If only she knew how to do the I think I'm having a heart attack swoon.

"Call Jimmy. He knows my veins. He has his own ambulance. He built the Great Wall of China. I think he's just about found a vaccine for COVID-19. That's my Jimmy."

That's it, I'm dead.

He’ll be thanking his lucky stars that he got away, changing his phone number, and locking down any social media presence in case she tries to find him again.

If Jimmy has any sense he's living in Luxembourg under an assumed name. And has had plastic surgery that renders him unrecognizable. 

[dreadfulLeigh]

Holy shit, she’s reverted to full on baby! 😳 

[Suzywriter]

Jeez, she's practically sucking her thumb!

[aliya]

I think I missed something. Did she just have a panic attack? Did Dr Now find anything when he went in, other than she stretched her stomach?

[JunkFoodTV]

Jimmy for all our sakes please take her back! 😩

One is sedated so one doesn't even realize what's happening.

I’ve only had them when I’ve had colonoscopies, so I get knocked the fuck out. Good thing, too. Just the numbing spray they out in the throat freaks me out. 

[Gbb]

Is she sucking her blanket? Her thumb?

[ams1001]

Benji's daughter is holding onto his giant cup for safekeeping while he has surgery.

Lola all but glanced at her watch. "I have another patient at 2, Erica. Lets get a move on".

I'm checking the clock. Forty minutes to go. I wonder what's wrong with Erica. 

At 8 PM when this show is over, it's howling time. Here in Denver we go outside or to our windows and HOWL at 8 PM, to show appreciation for health care workers, and just generally as a show of solidarity during this time. I'm in a third floor condo so I stand at the open window of my (glass enclosed) balcony and howl. The first time, I could faintly hear howls and felt a little silly letting loose with one, but I did, and heard answering howls. We had some snowy nights recently but on the first night without snowfall, I was inside and heard howling through the windows. So I ran out to the balcony and joined in. Howling like a wolf at the moon. 

We bang pots and yell at 730, it hailed here yesterday

Lola called Erica on her shit, and she got a tummy ache and needed an ambulance.

[MrsClaus]

Did they quit doing follow ups on David?

[ams1001]

God, it looks like they cut him in half.

So I will be ugly and unaware! I'll need Dr. Paradise afterward. "Every person I see on the street, I worry that they saw me open mouthed and drooling with my innards on a screen."

It was psychosomatic panic attack.  It didn't cause her illness.

My next patient has a phobia about fat people who talk about Jimmy.

It's a piece of cake, you get good drugs and don't remember it.

Seems like it.

[MsVixen]

Learn something new everyday!  Didn't know that anything could be done if a patient ate back a lot of weight.

[ShortyMac]

The skin with the fat looks like tentacles...

[Scratches19]

Finally a surgery on the surgery show. 

[sainte-chapelle]

Just now, MrsClaus said:

Maybe because he is suing. 

[Snarkastikate]

My friend had WLS and had the skin around her middle removed like Benji.  It's a brutal thing.  Staples all the way around her like a belt, painful thing to recuperate from.   Brutal.

Gross all that excess skin taken off

[LizzyB]

Dr.Now is such a butcher with the skin surgeries, I hate to say (because I love him).  If I were a Poundicipant, I'd try to get myself to a more skilled plastic surgeon at this point.

I changed "Pounder" to "Poundicipant." I AM a Pounder!

It appeared to me that David was content and dropped out of the program.

[PA SweetPea]

Good evening, pounders! So glad to be here. No sooner had i joined a live chat, then i lost my access to the show. Tonight's eating habit is nothing, i haven't slept in days and I'm fading in and out of sleep lol. As for tonight's poundtestants...Benji, good job man! A little slip and gain, but you've got this. David... seriously, dude, just ugh. Yeah, *you*settled. They were one of those annoying "babe" couples, if i recall. Hey babe? Yeah babe? Babe, get me a couple pizzas, will you babe? Sure babe, you hungry babe? AAAHHHHH!!! And Eeyore. Oh, that's Erica. What a whiner! I must have missed the introduction of Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy but she's worse than a 14 year old with her infatuation. Holy hell, did i read that correctly, she gained back 260 lbs? Omg stop whining, i hope the cameraman was put on suicide watch after spending so much time alone with her. Whew, ok, on to the rest of the show! 

[88Keys]

Were those gallstones?!

I tried to get my neighbors in Savannah to do this with me. After a few days of howling by myself I gave up. I felt like a fool.

Sweeney Todd Dr. Now !!!!

[Suzywriter]

Dr. Now is getting better at putting people back together without it looking like they were operated on by a tree surgeon.

Why is David suing?

That’s the exact word I was just thinking. I’ve had a lot of abdominal surgeries but having skin removal surgery in that area—oof, brutal.
