I think I have bingo!

Damn...I was so close.

[CircusPeanuts]

Hey—  I don’t know if you guys knew, but she’s willing to work really hard and do everything she can do to get to her target weight??!?

cough, cough. Bullshit. 

Getting “healthy” is what she has always wanted!

I'm behind in the ep but I'm wondering if she has some sort of physical condition where she can't feel full. She really shovels that food down, it's more disturbing than usual.

IIRC, a previous patient--Diane I think--had a stomach four times the size of the average person according to Dr. Now. If that's the case with her, then she really doesn't ever feel full which is quite sad really.

My neighbor is morbidly obese. I ran into her husband at the store and he was buying biscuits, sausage, and sausage biscuits.

I love those but never eat them. I would feel awful.

Jazz is turning into her mother. I wish they'd all just STFU with all the whining.

[QuinnInND]

Good God!!! What did they just pull out of her???? 

[Hellga]

Ah, so he fixed the hernia.  This surgery must be taking way longer than usual...

[CrazyInAlabama]

Another woman last season had to have a huge abdominal hernia repaired, and then had a separate surgery for weight loss.   

[Erinw522]

Dammit. Looks like she’s getting the surgery after all. 😒👎🏼

[Caoimhe]

Aw darn.  She gets her bypass after all.  How many months until her first cheat meal?

My friend and her family were out of their house for a year because they had to have it raised (hurricane Sandy aftermath), and they stayed a house that belonged to a friend of her mom's. The place was straight out of an early '70s time machine. We were born in '75 and I am 100% positive the stove and oven are older than we are. And yes, there was shag carpet in the family room. (And wall-to-wall carpet in the bathroom. I can't even.) 

We bought our current house four years ago.  We buy oldish houses, update them and live in them a few years before moving to the next.  This house had a 50 year old  blue dishwasher, which still worked.  It is gone!

Did that commercial break seem unusually long or was it just me?

It was the suspense.

[dreadfulLeigh]

Whelp, she got it. Full gastric bypass. She has no excuses not to lose weight.

Same here. But Jazz is becoming a drama llama like mom.

This is the LIVE CHAT thread for Holly's story.   It will be open during the US East Coast showing for your snarking pleasure. 

Original air date 2019.01.30

Please let Holly's childhood story have to do with her father who was a high school chemistry teacher until he was diagnosed with lung cancer.   Then he started manufacturing meth, becoming the infamous cook Heisenberg. Is that too much to ask?

Holly's dad is certainly no Heisenberg.  Bummer😡

Months? You’re an optimist! 

[Hellga]

With all that work, I really hope she doesn't try to outeat her surgical restrictions again!  Next time she will probably end up with peritonitis and dead, as likely as not.

[Erinw522]

I love how the second surgery’s done, dr now throws of his gloves like ‘peace out fuckers” and rolls out while the rest of the staff stays to deal w the aftermath. He’s the man 😍

[Armchair Critic]

I hate how the patients sound like they are reading from cue cards written by Jack Handey

[Guest]

Is there anything on earth that Holly ISN'T nervous about?

Months?   Are you kidding?   It won't be long before she stops losing, and start gaining.   

Lost 36 pounds since surgery, after full gastric bypass, and the huge hernia?   I bet she lost a bunch of weight the first week from being too sore to eat.  

[Hellga]

They are driving back to Georgia.  To fast food meal or not to fast food, that is the question.

[mysticalflute]

Oh boy. She's going home. That rarely ends well.

Also, a 12 hour drive in a day? That seems like a lot, even for me... and I'm 27 and healthy.

[sainte-chapelle]

My mind is so warped, I met a woman who had gastric bypass....her starting weight was 'only' 250. 

[dreadfulLeigh]

Next week looks funnnnn!

[Miracle Maxie]

Looks like another train wreck next week!

If it still worked, why did you get rid of it? We've been in this house for almost 5 years. It had a new dishwasher when we moved in. It started making a howling noise today. I hope we PCS before it fails completely.

I really miss Justin. 

[Guest]

LOLOLOLOL 

If I'm exhausted by the drive, I won't be able to talk to my mom. 

I'm so glad this episode is almost over.

Next week looks like a doozy!

How to fit a 2nd breakfast and 2nd dinner into her busy schedule.

Please be sure to pick up your gasoline-soaked drawers on your way out!

[Julyolo]

The dog seems to be a normal weight. I guess they're not feeding him off their plates.

Yes it does.

[CrazyInAlabama]

From what I've read, some centers have rather low weight requirements for gastric bypass, or sleeve, and the lapband is even lower, because it's removable.

If you're willing to go to Mexico for WLS, they do it at any weight, no qualifications or requirements at all.

You're obviously not from Texas. Lol. We drove from Houston to El Paso in one trip.

Eh, I used to make a 12 hr drive to see my parents. I’d always do it in a day. 

[Caoimhe]

Holly those cravings are NOT gone, you WILL feel them again, and dealing with what you felt were problems with your mom is NOT going to make them go away forever.  Will there be a fast food stop on this trip?

[Stusan]

Dr. Now inferred she had stomach muscles.  I don't believe that.

My cousin had the surgery. She lost weight but will never be thin. She looks good though

Same writer maybe?  Yes the monotone script is just a lot of blah blah.   So now comes the obligatory chat with the person she blames for all her problems....mommy!  Zero accountability.  Oh, next well looks like a real doozy.

You’re right. I should ease into. I’ll do from couch to armchair. Not going go crazy.
