S07.E20: Vianey and Allen's Story LIVE CHAT


  • Start Topic

Recommended Posts

The reason we keep seeing Kate G. get her shows is the producer is her best buddy, and was the one pushing this dating show (for years on end), and I personally am hoping it has the lowest ratings ever for TLC.  

I bet Dr. Now did tell Vianey she would eventually get surgery, but I bet she wasn't ready to hear it.     She needs Dr. Paradise, not Lola the Letter Writer to the Rotten Departed Relatives. 

I wish Allen would get rid of the beard, and I hope he and Vianey do well, and both succeed.

Hi, fellow Pounders!  I've been lurking for a while, but after Mercedes, and then Angie (!), I had to sign up.  The show has been a late-night guilty pleasure for some years, but after I was off work recently for five months after major back surgery I've been snarking along with you.  I originally found the poundicipants inspirational and touching, but the weekly shower-with-the-clear-curtain/close-up-of shoveled-breakfast/hour-long-road-(there's nothing to eat on the road but fast food--it's a no-salad zone all the way)  the droning voice overs etc...following your hilarious comments is the best part of the show.  We have an early west coast showing, but I will watch later so Mr. Carboncat can watch baseball.  Can't wait for the Angie J. rewatch and the Assanti bros. update next week.  It's great having other folks out there I can share this with, and I've learned so much...like, Tater Tot Casserole!

Welcome aboard!

Welcome!  

I nearly made tater tot casserole again tonight. But when I realized I didn’t have an onion or peas, I put my ground sirloin in the fridge and made my wedge salad.

Last time I sang the theme from M*A*S*H and tried to catch fairies, apparently.

I don't think I ever did anything weird but I did rip the needle out of my hand when I got ear tubes (I was 15). I don't remember this but I do vaguely remember some dried blood on my hand when I woke up.

One time when I got teeth pulled I got whiny after a while in the little recovery room (to be fair, I was 11), wanting to go home, so they finally said we could go...and I promptly passed out at the desk while my mom was writing a check, grabbed her arm on the way down and took her with me. And had to stay another half hour. When I got my wisdom teeth out (at 18 and a good 3-4 inches taller than her by then) she made my dad come with us.

I like how the actual people on this show assume they're going to heaven and we're in this thread choosing our seats on the party bus heading the other way. P.S. come on my bus, it has a stripper pole and disco lights.

If pirates are included it must mean you are in the realm of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Napaste!

I came up off the stretcher, attacked the staff, and tore apart the O.R. Woke up in 4 point restraints. MD said "For a small woman you're really strong".

It boggles my mind that sitting in a car is some kind of ordeal that they can't handle for more than a few hours. I love to travel and even though I'm overweight, I can sit in a coach seat for a twenty hour trip to Thailand.

For people who are used to lying down or sitting up in bed most of the day, yes, sitting in a car where there is no room to shift around or to stretch out your legs, can be very painful particularly for the joints, and can cause swelling which is also painful. Even for those who are lying on blankets or a mattress in the back of a van, it can be terribly uncomfortable. The worse shape they are in, the more pain they have traveling.

Gastric sleeve they chop the stomach down to a column of stomach, but don't bypass part of the intestines.     Gastric bypass is more severe.     Don't look at the medical sites to see what it looks like unless you're not squeamish.

We've seen Dr. Now playing with the part of stomach he's cut off.

I am glad they were able to revive her.  I think this is the first where they haven't been able to complete the procedure on the show?

There have been others. I recall one woman who had so much scar tissue from previous surgeries, that when Dr. Now went in, he could not perform the weight-loss surgery. He had to remove the scar tissue, give her some time to heal, then do the WL surgery. But it was still done before end of episode. She must have been approved for surgery early enough in the year that there was time to wait and still do the surgery the same year.
