Just watched one this afternoon - got bored of working (dangerous when working from home). So sad - he died, but I can't believe the PCT denied his funding 7 years before as they deemed wls as COSMETIC. At least he tried though, thought Mr Somers looked really upset. I know mortality is quite rare after wls, but it still brings home the risk of it all - as well as the risks of remaining morbidly obese.
OMG was that the one with the young man who was 40 stone? (I dipped into this programme for the first (and final) time this afternoon and I lasted about 30 seconds when they were removing this guy's apron and I had to turn over straight away to Cash In the Attic or something equally non-gory. Did he ever come round from the anaesthetic?)Just watched one this afternoon - got bored of working (dangerous when working from home).

Hi,
Will the programme be on Virgin as well. I currently watch it on Discovery Home and Health.
Thanks

That's really sad. He only looked young.No, he had a few problems after the surgery, breathing and heart problems which I believe he had prior to the op anyway.
