Can we comment on her being on disability since she mentioned it? Not that I will.

I still can't keep up with chat and show. I hope to develop that skill some day.

Keep up with the chat and rewatch the show tomorrow :P

[Snarkastikate]

Ruh-roh..... trouble at the airport already!  

[Wanda]

Willing to try sans wheelchair without a huge scene. But still thinks everyone is looking at her because of her weight. Not because she has a camera crew with her

[Guest]

If most places don't have what you need so you can be "accommodated" maybe, at what point does it not become the business' problem but YOURS?

[Suzywriter]

Airport dude is hannndsome.

[DC Gal in VA]

Whoa, great save sexy helpful guy. "We don't have a chair that can, uh ......... can help you." Hee.

[cmpbl]

Maybe you should have arranged to have a wheelchair ahead of time?

[CrazyInAlabama]

Mom isn't any lightweight either.   

So she's flying?     That poor man at the airport, having to say they don't have big enough wheel chairs.    My guess is Mom will need two seats, and Lacey will need three.  

They live in Bay City, Michigan.

 I think you are onto something here. She demonstrates a great deal of verbal insight,  but no corresponding behaviors to follow what she says she thinks. I'm afraid she's going to be difficult.

I tend to agree.   And I find her expectations that world SHOULD accommodate her and if it does not, it's the world's problem and not hers, ahem, detrimental to her future success.

Word. I say the same thing to myself every week since finding this group a few weeks ago.

Very typical post WWII house in the upper midwest.  It probably has a full basement and an attic.

I like it. Its cute. Fine for one person. 

[Wanda]

She has a much better attitude than most of them getting on a plane. Good for her.

[chickenella]

I would have asked the handsome airport attendant to carry me! 

Hi pounders! How y'all doing?

Bay City MI 

[fonfereksglen]

At times, she looks like what WWT will look like when her fabulous show bites the dust.

[Pepper Mostly]

Guy at the airport for the win. He was lovely.

Aww Hell, which show do you think we're watching!? Tee hee 😊

[Miss Chevious]

She’s so excited, she lost a pound walking from the waiting area to the plane!

[FormeryHeavyJ]

Is that a seat belt or a cargo strap?

Lacey is mobile, wears shoes, and doesn't use double negatives. She's ahead of the game (by this shows standards.)

LOL this show has lowered our standards

[ClareWalks]

Airport Guy is the first eye candy we've seen on this show all season!

[Hellga]

She is excited about airplanes.  It's her first time flying!   So far she is more likeable than irritating.

Michigan, I think Bay City.

 True. Who was the one who screeched and had a panic attack and had to be taken off the plane or something? That was quite the sh*tshow.

[Wanda]

Airport personnel very friendly and helpful. Guess it’s not Delta.

YES! This has GOT to a first—someone actually enjoying themselves while flying.

[Donut Bear]

Wonder how she likes those little bags of pretzels

[hoosiermom]

Never seen an airplane land or take off? That's something sad.

[aliya]

Wow. At least she didn't moan throughout the flight (Janine) or cry in the car like so many of them do, she got on the plane and enjoyed the flight. There might be hope.

And hopefully not the last...

[ams1001]

Two young men needed to push her in a wheelchair...

[Wanda]

They had the Dr Now package for her upon landing

[88Keys]

What up, Pounders?!  My eating habit was pretty good tonight.  Salmon, steamed veggies, and quinoa.  Trying to resist the urge for a glass or two of wine, though.

I missed the tragic backstory.

Wow- Mom has crazy eyes.

What's her name?  Lacey?  Is she one of the few who we've seen with actual friends and not just family members?  At least she sounds optimistic.

20 minutes ago, Pepper Mostly said:

she mixed butter and sugar together and ate it? Wow,that's dedication. 

You guys...brown sugar and butter is really, really good.  I wouldn't eat a lot of it for supper or anything, but I've been known to mix a bit of the two together and eat it.  Did it this evening, actually.  It is the first components in chocolate chip cookies, actually.

[FormeryHeavyJ]

Is this the one who falls out of the van?

[katycat74]

When you need 2 people to push your wheelchair...

[MrsRopersCaftan]

Anybody else see these folks get on a plane and wonder how the hell they navigate the teeny tiny bathroom? I'm nowhere near 600 pounds and I feel like fat guy on a little toilet on a plane. I would not go anywhere near an airplane bathroom if I was that size.

And holy crap. It's taking two guys pushing with all their might to get her through the airport. That has to be so embarrassing. But Lacey seems to be taking it in stride. 

[CrazyInAlabama]

The panic attack lady was Janine from Seattle area, the same on who went through the McDonald's drive thru on her scooter.    She took two tries to actually get on the plane, and had to get off in Dallas.  

The Houston airport probably has a special crew for Dr. Now's patients, with super heavy duty wheelchairs, and a strong crew to push them.  

So she's the one who falls out of the taxi on the trailer for the season.     Wow, she fell, and turned really mean at everyone.    It wasn't their fault she fell.

Last supper. Check.

[hoosiermom]

I don't know if the world's strongest man could carry her nearly 700 pound ass all the way across an airport!

[Pepper Mostly]

Oh, those two skinny airport guys struggling to push that wheelchair! They won't have to go to the gym tonight. 

[Wanda]

Have we seen someone ask a taxi driver to go through a drive thru before?

[CSunshine76]

We are having a taxi drive through and get food? Good lord.

[DC Gal in VA]

Oh dayum, she needs two people to push her. And my dear, you ain't starving. I would be way too embarrassed to have the shuttle stop at a drive thru.... But not her.
