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

At Brookhaven, super morbidly obese people struggle to reclaim their health and their lives.

I apologize for any moving or disturbances. I was trying to position the camera properly, and get the picture to work properly, without weird black lines.

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.

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.

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.

@LucyShy so incredily true and wll stated!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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