[QUOTE="Lesleywo, post: 620489, member: 112692"] We watched a couple of episodes ..... [USER=97664]@jack412[/USER] is this the one where he lived with his 2 sisters, the older one was his carer? My first reaction to this poor man was, as mentioned above, where does he get the food from? If the sister was cooking it for him .... or going out and buying it for him Also, when he had the bariatric surgery there was no mention of any therapy to address what was going on mentally. Bariatric surgery only addresses the physical side of obesity ... I know people who have had it yet remain morbidly obese because they get round the not being able to eat much by eating icecream and chocolate (as it melts and goes down like liquid) and drink a bottle of wine every night. As also mentioned above, there was no mention of diabetes or insulin resistance ...... maybe he (and others like him) are just not genetically pre-disposed to diabetes. We only got to see 2 episodes. After he discharged himself from hospital it suddenly stopped recording .. unless there was a glitch with Foxtel. Dunno what happened to him after that. [/QUOTE]
