Such big arms - this is where I wonder why these people don't stop at 3-400 lbs? The bariatric surgery is one thing, but she will have to have a number of skin surgeries, to get anywhere near normal looking. 

The bariatric surgery looks like a cakewalk compared to those ongoing hellish skin removal surgeries ...

[dreadfulLeigh]

She’s never even had the chance for a normal life. I just want to hug her. She seems bright, articulate, self aware. I want her to do so well!

[Armchair Critic]

They need to stop with the whole "If he (Dr. Now) can't help me" nonsense because otherwise they wouldn't be on the show. 

[88Keys]

"Anxious."  "I'm nervous."  "My legs already hurt."

Check, check, and check.

Thanks. They're doing great. They're going to be 3 next month. They're excited. My 8 year old is sad. He doesn't want to leave his friends. I don't want to leave either really. This is a great base. Great people. But we're going back to DC. I've still got friends there, so it will be ok. 

Actually DC or the surrounding area? (DC native here)  What base? (Air Force brat here, born at Walter Reed)  

[suev3333]

mah laygs!!

[Julyolo]

Gosh, I hope no one stares at her in the airport!

Nope. We’ve seen that before.  I can’t remember the person’s name. But they were from the north east? It was a year or two ago. 

I stand corrected.  Assanti had a bed made of cinder blocks and plywood

[aliya]

Two wheelchairs!

[Barb23]

Well the wheelchair stretcher has to be a first.

[Hellga]

I have never seen anyone wheeled on TWO wheelchairs before!

[novhappy]

she’s so alone. No enabler bringing her food really. I don’t watch all the time but it seems unusual. Who is the woman helping her st the airport?

Interesting..."voiceover" actually on camera. She even sounds like someone just talking more or less naturally instead of reading poorly off a script.

Yes! Everything so far has sounded far less stilted than normal. 

[cmpbl]

Of course everyone is staring, they're pushing you through an airport with 2 wheelchairs 

[OoogleEyes]

How mortifying 

[JudgeyMcJudgyPants]

I’m not gonna lie, I see someone being pushed in two wheel chairs, I’m gonna stare.

It's a friend of hers. With a really cool hairstyle!

AF brat here too!  People can’t believe I went to 10 different schools in 12 years of education.  My years at Andrews were when I was tiny though.

[MsVixen]

Good evening, Pound People!  My eating habit tonight is an Eating Well Frozen dinner.   How are y'all?

Kelly does sound articulate!

[Snarkastikate]

Oh she's big, I'm gonna say 770.   

[DC Gal in VA]

Damn, is this a first? Tag team assistants and TWO wheelchairs at the airport?

That oil should be screaming hot for frying...it is not. That makes the fried chicken even moe oily 

[FormeryHeavyJ]

I push a weighted device called The Tank on leg days at the gym.   Should just push her in the wheelchair up a ramp.

[Concerned]

The good thing about requiring two seats on the plane is that you also get two meals.

He's going back to the Pentagon.   We found a house in Burke VA. We used to live in Woodbridge a few years ago.

My boys turned 3 in December.  We went ahead and put them in pre-K in January, and it's been very good for them.  May I ask what military branch you are in?

Now I am jealous.  The 21 years total, during two different post military retirement times in the DC area, were the happiest years of my life.  Enjoy.

[Midnightblue]

She talks like a regular person with normal pauses, and emotion in her voice! The words are a lot of the same script, but  she is soooo much easier to listen to than most of the others.

[Splashes]

I think this is going to be a big drama episode. Normally they arent this far yet and pad the run time with them just talking sitting still.

[Pepper Mostly]

I am amazed and pleased that she is not whinging about being anxious, or about people staring at her, or that she's in paaaaaaiiiiinnnnnnn. She gets on with it. I like her and I hope she succeeds. She's so broken. She deserves a chance at happiness. I love how kind all the airport people are being to her. 

[Hellga]

And she fit into a regular car without complaints!  Maja, watch and learn!

[PrincessPurrsALot]

I like to think of this as her having a wheelchair limousine.

Thank you for your service and dedication from all of us.

[Armchair Critic]

Did I miss the STUCK part? She is not as fun to laugh at as Assanti falling off the golf cart because so far she seems decent.

[chickenella]

Good thing they have bigger wheelchairs in TX. Don't they say everything is bigger in Texas?l lol.

I think she handled the how airport thing very well. Unlike 99% of the others, she didn’t have a fit or meltdown. I can definitely understand going from barely mobile to being utterly exhausted by the time she got to her hotel room.

That's way out there. If it's not Silver Spring or Bethesda, I feel like I'm in a foreign country.  😃

That was a BIG pizza too. I'll be honest, I can eat 3 slices but in polite company I will keep it to 2. 😁

There is a place near me that makes really good, super-thin-crust, smaller-than-average pies. I can eat a whole one of those (but usually it's 2-3 servings for me). A regular pizza? Two slices, and often I don't finish the crust.

Side note, it's hard to type and peel an orange at the same time.

I really, really want her to succeed.  She had pretty awful childhood, she deserves a second chance - and I sure hopes she takes it!

[CrazyInAlabama]

Too bad her POS mother wasn't sitting in the car, next to the rapist the mother ignored.    Kelly could have gone to college online.  

Steven Assanti, the king of the cinder block bed.   

Please tell me she didn't get air sick.   

I wonder if she's the one that gets stuck in the taxi at Dr. Now's office, and he comes out side to help?   One woman is on the preview with that situation.   

Who is the large woman who is on the trip with her?    They need a group rate at Dr. Now's. 

This poor woman has been through the wringer, and I hope she's one of Dr. Now's success stories.   She deserves some good things to happen to her.

I really hate the Samsung kid's lispy singing voice.

Yes...except for some random gawking asshole at the cab area who was quickly cut to pieces by Kelly's friend. 

[Snarkastikate]

She complained a whole lot less than most of the drama queens we've seen flying before.  I wouldn't want to get on her friend's bad side though.

That what I’m was yelling in my head! Can you imagine marine all the extra oil it soaked up? Ugh, it was barely a simmer.

We couldn't find a house we liked there. Unfortunately. 

[Kid]

Frankly, I’m surprised that trip didn’t kill her.

I’m convinced that Houston’s airport  has extra-large wheelchairs because of all Dr Now’s patients that fly in.
