Her voice sounds animated, but I’ve rarely seen such an affect-less expression on anyone’s face. 

Maybe she has something like resting bitch face only it's a blank look?

We've seen Dr Now order ambulances for 600 pounders WHY would he put this woman in a cab??

I've been wondering if the CHF is a factor in her overall affect. 

I don't think she's had a whole lot of joy in her life. She may not know how to be happy. And CHF does not help the situation

Sometimes Gary looks like he knows the cameras are there and he’s working to look “casual”. He seems like a nice guy. 

And a good looking guy too.

She's smiling! Yay!

I just noticed that too. She's a pretty lady and looks younger than her 41 years. Good for her losing 33 pounds on her own and not just in a controlled environment.

[Splashes]

Has anyone noticed how a lot of the poundticerpants dont seem to hold their head up?

[Smoothcoat]

Yay! She seems to be perking up some!

They're special medical transport ambulances. You call 911 and you get a regular ambulance. 

[Twopper]

Well, looks like she may get her surgery.   Hope they can get her heart in better shape.

I am wondering if it has to do with being in a lying position most of the time.

[cmpbl]

Why is Matt Roloff on tv? 

[Concerned]

The Charmin bears are based on the expression does a bear shi* in the woods.

[3girlsforus]

I don’t use Charmin but my underwear is still clean

He said he wanted her to go by ambulance but they said they weren’t equipped for someone over 700 lbs.

I wonder if they cannot, because of the fat roll in their shoulders/back of the neck.  And their overall lack of movement and arthritis and stiffness.

Maybe and they just dont have the strengrh in their neck to hold their head up. That sounds so awful.

Look at her go!   She's moving much better.

Down 33 more pounds to 505.   Down a total of 220.

Actually more because she had lost and then gained  32 lbs back and had to re lose them.

I wondered about that too but it was explained in a previous post that you have to special order an ambulance for someone over 700 pounds because a regular ambulance can't handle it. Oh the things we learn on this forum! 😊

[CircusPeanuts]

 Did you notice how cousin Gary parked his car way far away from the front door? Most every poundticipant parks in the handicapped spot right by the front door. Good for him!

Some of the heart failure meds can make you feel like you're in a fog, slow, groggy. Carvedilol for one. I think that may be the case here. Either you get used to it, or you're condition improves and they'll lower the dose.  

[Caoimhe]

I don’t like this music.

[sainte-chapelle]

Arg...Ashley needs to F off with that passive aggressive bullshit. Run Vanessa.

[Any day now]

Awww. She has nice extended family members.

[Minivanessa]

Man, the soundtrack music ahead of the surgery is heavy and ominous. 

[OoogleEyes]

This background music....yikes!

[Donut Bear]

Why is the music so ominous?

[DC Gal in VA]

Gee she's lucky to have such a loving and supportive family.

She’s got this!  I think she’s a pretty tough cookie

I live in WI.  It is. 

Unlike coming from soy, almonds and rice.

I'm so happy she has family around her now

I was just wondering how old she was. Her voice sounds young. She looks younger when she smiles, too.

I'm scared for her. Seriously.

I know, it's kinda scaring me.

[poeticlicensed]

Her family seems really nice.

[Guest]

Is this surgery really a good idea at this point? Why not encourage a continued low-fat, low-carb diet? Man, I dunno. It's not a risk I'd be willing to take.

[Julyolo]

Worried family in the waiting room. Another bad sign.

I know - she said she was scared - and so am I

[mmecorday]

Sounded like her dad said, "Kelly's having meatball surgery." I've been watching to much "M*A*S*H" lately.

[Hellga]

At least she survived the surgery, ominous music be damned.

But we are on month five or six?  How are they fitting the remaining six months into the last 15 minutes?  I am worried.

Is Frank Burns in the operating room?  

[ShortyMac]

I am getting bad vibes with this choice of music.

[Azubah]

That's not Dad, that's Uncle. If she has all these supportive family members in Texas, she should have moved there years ago!

[Splashes]

Are they just copy pasting previous film/voiceover of him talking about the surgery? It sounded almost exactly the same.

I swear I heard "meatball surgery" too!

[iwasish]

My fav commercial is the Constant Contact one. “Doris is down” . Cracks me up every time.  Not sure I’ve seen it on this channel.  

[sainte-chapelle]

Dr. Now is mentioning the window for complications....oh boy
