Inside Brookhaven Obesity Clinic (Episode 1, Pt. 3/5)

[agaichapter25]

1.19 shud be enough for anyone with a weight problem to wake up and get themselves seriously sorted out,because that is just madness.

[ImoenOfTelengard]

Both Bill Surratt and his wife died. Man, that must be devastating for the son.

[PaperMoon2010]

Wow her hmo should let her stay there while she's making good progress!

[Pafuts]

I love the staff member at 4:18.

[Herstory4321]

I was a skinny runner, after injuries I stopped exercising and ate way more than I ever did as a runner... I would have to say that I would be a way better staff person at this facility now as a person who has experience obesity than I was when I only understood what perfect health is like.

[Spiderweb127]

You would think that watching like 8 people around you trying to move you like a baby whale would be a wake up call.

[Krysta52]

hahaha... but u r right juss... itz funny how u said it... maybe bc itz so late...

[evilfelicia1]

You are right!

[Kyle7181]

How does Isabel even have health insurance if she doesn't even have a job?

[jazzybee1]

She might be married to someone that has insurance and she's probably on the plan.

[listerstorm239]

She might have a spouse whose policy covers her. Or maybe she's retired and has coverage from that. Or perhaps one of her parents is buying her health insurance.

[Pafuts]

My understanding is that a lot of these patients are on medicare/medicaid. The owner of the facility knows how to work the system to get people covered for a longer period of time.

[DanaBanana75]

I was so sad to read Bill has passed on, I felt very bad for him. Some of the others are belligerent and hard to sympathize with, Bill really touched my heart.

[LucyShy]

When the two brothers put that pizza in their mouths they had the EXACT same expression on their faces as heroin addicts seconds after injecting the needle.

Pizza is like an orgasm for them, I swear they're getting off on it!

PS- American 'health insurance' is more like 'welfare insurance'. They'll give you JUST enough to have a chance to stay alive - but not enough to actually become, "healthy".

If someones succeeding in their recovery program, WHY rip the rug out from under them??

Dirtbags.

[mrbrandon71]

@LucyShy so incredily true and wll stated!

[amburrr13]

maybe they were patients of the clinic also and it is a part of their recovery.....

and if you were trying to lose an incredible amount of weight, seeing skinny people most likely wouldn't give you much confidence....

[missyouhoo]

The narrator is fucking horrible

[macunicorn]

damn these guys wat a shame

to watch themsleves just eat junk all the time.

[pookoos]

I feel really bad for Chad. You KNOW the kids at school are probably not very kind about his obese parents. He's a teen; the notoriety is probably not much fun. And he's lost his father now. I really feel for Chad, because it's probably not easy being him right now.

[popmomcorn]

and dont the pressure to eat as much as he does...

[Speakerofthehouse2]

Have a heart you all.  The kid lost his father since the airing of this show.

[ordealbyfire]

Yeah they are definitely ignorant.

[agentdc7]

"liked how joseph? rolled his pizza though. i'll have to try that sometime... "

The sounds they make freak me out.

[ordealbyfire]

That one mom at about 5 minutes in is SO stupid. "It's not that I want them so lose weight, I just want them to be healthy." Wow. She is stupid.

[jm2trash]

No she's not - what she MEANS is that she doesn't care how they look, she just wants them to be healthy. She's saying she's not judging them.

[sorbet87]

I cant help feeling its a bit pessimistic the way they suggest that Bill's son will become obese too. He looks perfectly healthy and, even though statistically his risk is higher because of his parents, theres no reason he can't stay healthy his whole life.

[kasutra]

the eating habit for some people is just freaking ... we have to eat healthy
