That is useful to know that Medicaid requires they lose a certain amount of weight and consult a dietitian.
I’ve watched every episode of my 600 pound life, and Dr. Nowzarden always asks that they lose “Tirty pounds in one munt” before he schedules them for weight loss surgery, So now I know the source for that standard requirement.
That is useful to know that they have consulted with a dietitian, because that piece is always left out of the TV show and I always wonder do these people not have any training in appropriate eating habits?
This show treats most subjects in a sympathetic way. I would say 6 out of 10 are presented sympathetically, 2-3 are presented somewhat as brats, and 1 out of 10 is a complete turd. Fan favorites for turd behavior are James K. who recently died, Scheena, Lisa F., Maja, Penny, and of course Stephen Assanti.
My favorite was Sean who weighed in one time at a over 1000 pounds.What a shitshow that was, poor guy.
I’ve read the TV show producers pay for fast food orgies to get those on camera.
I am amazed at the few, the very few, who get out of bed each day and go to work. At that weight it is a Herculean task. Most are disabled and getting gubmnt money, I assume, with their caretakers paid thru gubmnt programs as well.
I have a crush on Dr. Paradise and I think Lola is a trip.
These are my confessions and you can judge the hell out of me for watching my 600 pound life TV show!
