Shaw Sommers discussing bariatric surgery on ch4
My work colleagues were talking about Embarrassing Bodies the other day and they couldn't believe people would subject themselves to it. But I really can see how folk can be desparate - especially for plastics/weight loss procedures where funding is a huge lottery. Is it a small price to pay dignity-wise if Channel 4 funds your procedures which you can't pay for yourself but really need and the NHS won't pay out for? In my view yes. Still find it hard though when people go on with things like piles which surely would be treated through their own GP??!
Having been on Supersize vs Superskinny I can relate to being so desperate you'll go on tv. Having said that, I'll never do it again!
They put you on a diet for 12 weeks, but no long term help/exercise regime at all. Everyone in the series I was in has gained weight back to what they were or more. The only person who's lost weight since the series has had a gastric sleeve done!
