S06.E12: Sarah's Story LIVE CHAT

[Leemah]

Might require two seats??? Might??!!

[Kvv9862]

Well shit at least she’s mobile. Somewhat. Miles ahead of some of the other disasters on this show. 

[PeaceLily2]

Suck it up buttercup!  You’ll sit down soon enough.

[emma1420]

Might require 2 seats?

However, I’m impressed she’s walking through the airport.

[Kid]

Flip flops!!!Why do morbidly obese people wear flip-flops?

I just did a search - there are mobile tattoo artists (have van will travel). My state stopped issuing permits for mobile tattooists in 2016. 

Who knew?!  :)

Look how mobile she is! There's no excuse for making Mom wait on her.

Right?! She's walking around just fine!

[BuddhaBelly]

The varying level of mobilty across the different patients is so interesting. 

[Miracle Maxie]

Are there direct flights from Dayton to Houston? 

[Lizz]

I don’t know how she can fit down the aisle of the plane. I’m not overweight and have trouble squashing through with my carry on     

[zoemom]

Why didn't she ask for one of those carts that they use at airports.

[Leemah]

Was that a lil jog?? Go girl 

[Kvv9862]

Getting off that escalator coulda been a real disaster real quick

I legit never feel fatter than on a plane and im a shrimp. 

[Ellie Godfrey]

She "might" need 2 seats?? I'll be surprised if 2 is enough.

I think it is because she is so young, her body can handle it for now. By 30 she will be immobile

Let’s not pretend you didn’t get fired from the fast food restaurant because you were sneaking the product...

Tee hee, I thought exactly the same thing but props to you for actually saying it!!!

There are nonstop flights from Indianapolis to Houston on Southwest

[zoemom]

Ah Dayton - thought that airport looked familiar. Yes they do have directs, just surprised that the plane was so large.  Oh my not eating for five hours that feels like "forever".

Surprise - her nerves are frazzled.

Drive through scene and push back from the fast food guy....that's a first.

[junip]

That airplane seat is gonna get pummeled with flatulence.

[Leemah]

An additional??!!! Wow you have sunk to an all time low when the fast food worker is questioning you!!

[PeaceLily2]

Thank God she didn’t all 4’s the escalator.

[Guest]

What's in that teeny-tiny carry-on Sarah has? Surely not more than some underwear and a cosmetics bag.

Or some extra fries.

Gotta live up to my name ?

[aliya]

OMGoodness - she's never been in an airport and the sis is making her walk "it's good for you."  No.  She's 600 lbs. She needs a golf cart or a wheelchair. Have you seen the distances in airports? I thought I was gonna die in Detroit Metro (probably carrying too much stuff). On the way back, I learned my lesson and got a wheel chair. Sometimes you can't do it. I'm not gonna snark on her for having a hard time in the airport. 

The sister sounds like a bit of a bitch, eh?

They gave my Mom a ride in a golf cart and she wasn’t overweight, just mobility issues

[zoemom]

Stuff that face while sister watches.......nice............

[Kid]

The sister, who is giving up a year of her life, better laydown the law.

[ShortyMac]

Severely obese woman walking into a hotel with a bag of fast food...

[hoosiermom]

Was that Detroit airport?

[CouchTater]

Her sister seems so miserable to be with her.

I guess I'd be miserable, too.

[Miracle Maxie]

I remain unconvinced she really wants to save her life.

That struck me as a little odd, though. It's a drive-thru, and there are two people in the car. Why would the worker assume all the food is for the one person who happens to be placing the order? The could be splitting it and/or bringing some home for someone else.

[junip]

Genuine question: Do the super obese fart more than the average?

[emma1420]

Just now, Miracle Maxie said:

I’m not sure.  I do think she believes the operation will allow her to lose weight while eating whatever she wants.

[elly1517]

I give her props, she's not on a mattress in the back of a van 

[zoemom]

Dayton, OH - and compared to alot of other airports, its relatively small (not great walking distances)

Cool sculpting - trying to advertise for the "after" of Dr. Now's patients?

[JudgeyMcJudgyPants]

“I’m dying.”

Yes, yes you are.  

[Any day now]

Not only is she mobile, but she is surprisingly relatively fast on her feet

I think everyone on this show believes that. 

[CouchTater]

I think the McDonalds meals can be "upsized" to medium or large?  So maybe the drive-through worker was clarifying if she wanted an additional fry, or a medium-sized meal.  That was my first thought, not that he was judging her.

I'd imagine yes, just from the sheer quantities of food they eat.

[Kid]

Last thing I need during the commercial is listening to Whitney bray!!!I quit watching the show because I can’t stand the sight or the sound of her and they’re still running commercials and  the season’s over.

Edited March 29, 2018 by Kid

[zoemom]

OH WHITNEY - keep it up girl....I'm still waiting for the crossover - Whitney goes to Houston.  I'd love to see Dr. Now with her!

[dreadfulLeigh]

She comes across as rather ambivalent about life. She needs to find a reason to want to live. Beyond being some karmic payback for her shitty mother. 

[Trixie Friganza]

Dayton!  My hometown!  I am impressed that Sarah didn’t ride a flatbed to Texas.

[Miracle Maxie]

I took an irrational dislike to her almost from the beginning. Despite her background, I’m having real trouble feeling much sympathy (and I’m all out of empathy). There’s something about her that strikes me as extremely entitled. 

[steff13]

I missed the beginning.  Is she in Ohio?  I have the same Miami University t-shirt she was wearing in one of her picture.

Well it's been a while but you are definitely leading the pack for who gets the "Going to Hell in Gasoline Soaked Drawers" Award tonight! What a naughty Misfit you are.
