Christina March 23, 2017 Share March 23, 2017 I would have guessed she was smaller than 605 at the beginning and larger that 388 at the end. Her legs were still so large that she looked so much bigger than she was. 4 Link to comment

crazycatlady58 March 23, 2017 Share March 23, 2017 I guess Anthony was not a jerk after all like someone said,just practicing tough love. This is one I did not want to end, I wanted to see the rest of her surgeries, and her go hone and walk in and hug her kids and grandkids . 12 Link to comment
operalover March 23, 2017 Share March 23, 2017 I still don't understand why no other doctor told her about decreasing her salt to help the lymphadema swelling. Even Dr. Na didn't seem to mention it. 6 Link to comment

baileylucas1216 March 23, 2017 Share March 23, 2017 I think Anthony is one of the best caretakers we've seen. What a good guy and a great episode! Nice change of pace from last week's "OW MAH LEHGG" 1000x over 12 Link to comment
DC Gal in VA March 23, 2017 Share March 23, 2017 (edited) Okay, I will take back my asshole label of Anthony, but he was giving off those vibes. So glad to have a happy ending, but I agree with you crazycatlady58 and Melissa Minion and I want to see more of her and Anthony. Wow, whaddya know, Anthony is a real live dis-enabler! Are you watching Lisa!? Great fun you all, but watching Designated Survivor now........... Edited March 23, 2017 by DC Gal in VA For clarifications. 5 Link to comment
Thriftykins March 23, 2017 Share March 23, 2017 Well that was a refreshing episode. Tracey was like a model patient. She faltered a little by eating stuff she wasn't supposed to, but she didn't do terribly. She had a fairly positive attitude and a strong work ethic despite her bad childhood. Her husband was supportive but firm in applying tough love. Her legs were in terrible shape, especially right after the surgery, but she gritted her teeth and bore it. Great episode. Very unusual though, since like last week there was no bariatric surgery. Her problem seemed not as much severe obesity but more like severe lymphadema. I hope we can see a followup episode on her. 11 Link to comment

Thriftykins March 23, 2017 Share March 23, 2017 The next episode will be a Mega-sized, 4 hour 2-parter aired in the 2 successive weeks. But this doesn't sound particularly promising.... On March 29th Steven and Justin's Story Part 18:00 PM on TLC, 3 hr 2017 TV-14 Part 1 of 2. Two brothers weigh nearly 1400 pounds combined, and their father drives them 35 hours to see a doctor even though they can't stand each other. Then part 2 on April 5th Steven and Justin's Story Part 28:00 PM on TLC, 3 hr 2017 TV-14 Conclusion. Time is running out for two brothers when one of them focuses on his new career instead of his diet, and the other spends a year on a weight-loss program but is completely noncompliant. Strap yourselves in.... this could be rough. 16 Link to comment

Thriftykins March 23, 2017 Share March 23, 2017 46 minutes ago, Christina said: It sounded like he said that with the removal of the tissue, she would be at near her goal weight and wouldn't need the weight loss surgery. Well she was at 400 at her last weigh in. The lymphadema mass Dr. Now removed was 10 pounds, plus 5 pounds of fluid. And it was the first of 4. So she's probably got about 45-50 pounds of lymphadema left up there, after which she'll be down to only 350. Still some distance to go. 1 Link to comment

DC Gal in VA March 23, 2017 Share March 23, 2017 Okay commercial break for Designated Survivor. So can Tracey use diuretics? Also, wouldn't elevating her legs help? And one more thing, since she didn't have the surgery, she could possibly go on a low carb high protein diet with yummy good fats. Lots of cookbooks and websites out there and much tastier than the gruesome looking meal plans they're usually stuck with. 2 Link to comment

I think he might be one the first who've moved there temporarily and started working. Although he is still being a jerk bag about the appts. Yeah, that was unusual because most of them move to Houston for a year or two (maybe more) and they never work the entire time. Or at least they don't show it if they do. 3 Link to comment
