S06.E14: Jennifer & Marissa's Story LIVE CHAT

[rlc]

That’s a really big stomach. I love Dr Now.

[WillowG]

 like a 10lb baby being pulled out C-section

[Barb23]

It's taken 6 months to get to the surgery.   Sorry, don't see either of them being a success.  They're thinking surgery will be the magic pill.

[hoosiermomma]

Dr. Now has a marathon day

[ams1001]

I wonder how long the average surgery takes..

[Guest]

OK, who's thinking there's a lot of telegraphing here from Dr Now, "Hopefully there will be nothing to stop us [from doing the surgery]."

What the hell kind of steak is that?

And where the hell is Dawayne? Didn't he just move to Houston? Who would he know there to "get in trouble with?"

I'm calling booze. Don't wanna eat when you're liquored up.

Seems like he’s only doing the gastric sleeve these days. 

There’s got to be a joke there, but I can’t find it. Anyone?

I believe most bariatric surgeons do several procedures in one day. They often only do the surgeries one or two days per week.

I thought the same thing as we go to commercial break.  Foreshadowing?

Hey, if you’re gonna live in Texas, you'll need to learn how to pronounce guacamole!!

Something about those ubiquitous cold-shoulder shirts...(which I believe one of them was wearing, with the open sleeve to the elbow)...

Wine break!?

What is with that "friend"?  Does she have a life?  She looks moronic.

They all do.

[Stusan]

Dang. My bed is going to shit and I REALLY want one of those purple mattresses. I’ve been researching awhile and it looks kind of awesome. 

Money though. Ugh. 

[hoosiermom]

I just want to eat and go to bed.

[fonfereksglen]

I'm watching Twister.  Damn, now on to Aunt Meg's house in Wakita.  Hope she is still alive!

Thats me, every day. But I've worked a full day and had a grueling 2 hour commute.

If there's anything this show has taught us, it's that there's nothing to stop you from eating while you go to bed.

[ChicksDigScars]

Hey Ty. As long as Hildi is still on the show, no one is going to think that you suck.

 On a different episode, Dr. Now mentioned that the distance from the end of the esophagus to the small intestine is too great. These people’s abdomen stretch so much that the logistics  don’t work out. It’s easier for them to do a sleeve and not have to reconnect things.

Nothing to stop you from deep frying a turkey in there, either.

Gastric sleeve takes about two hours.  Gastric bypass about four hours.  I'm guessing that Dr. Now does the sleeve procedure on his "larger" patients to reduce the possible complications that can occur by them being under anesthesia for longer period of time and the bypass is more complicated than the sleeve.

Lol! My daughter ( who is away at school  but always watches with me when she’s home) just texted me: Hello Mudder?

[Kiss mah grits]

I am so bored that I drank too much wine and now have a headache.

Don't bother- it's the "next big thing" that is completely useless... I work for a mattress manufacturer and the purple thing is just the latest (useless) trend...

[Armchair Critic]

We have a HoosierMom and HoosierMomma posting here? What is this an episode of The Middle? 

[WillowG]

 Pecan sandies leave a lot of bed crumbs.

[umgoblue]

I am finally home in time to hang out with you live, and this is so boring.  Grrrr...

[PeaceLily2]

Looks like Marissa is going to deliver newspapers.

Just now?  I'm an hour into my bottle.  :)

 

You guys, this is really dull.  I changed the channel 15 minutes ago and just came back and they look/sound exactly the same.

[dreadfulLeigh]

So, if Jennifer had Marissa at 16 and her drug habit got her kids taken away by her, What, mid-twenties, at some point as an adult Marissa chose to move in with her mother. To be her parent. 

[mellowjoi]

It doesn't appear that the mother matured past her first pregnancy age, which was 15/16 years old.  

Not sure where the friend is but maybe she's out with Dwayne spending the money.

[Guest]

Um, how much "protecting" was Marissa doing of Jennifer when Jennifer dumped her on her own mother when she and Duwayne went off to do meth (or whatever)? 

Both of these women are delusional.

[Miracle Maxie]

We need an index of which therapists treat which  people. This office looks familiar but the doc doesn’t.
