 Yes, it is on TLC as was mentioned.  Yesterday they aired it at at midnight (that's when I watched it).  Unfortunately it doesn't appear that Melissa's episode is in the schedule to be re-aired between now and the 16th.

There might be the option of downloading or streaming it.

I also see that Melissa's story appears to be the only one that was 2 hours long.  The next couple are only slated in for an hour.  That is a real pity.

 I have watched it 3 times now.  I always say this journey is a rollercoaster and man her journey was for sure.  I would be excited for her and then crying for her.  
It is on TLC, here where I am it is channel 34.  I think the next person they follow is on Wed night.  I think the next three people they follow are men.

That is good to hear.  I don't think there is quite enough representation for men when it comes to this subject.

 You're correct about it being men (at least for the next two anyway...not sure what the fourth episode is).

The third episode featuring Henry will be the one I'm eagerly awaiting.  He started at the same weight as mean (750lbs), so it might provide some representation of what I can expect.

I missed it again. I started watching it but it's on too late for me to watch the whole thing. But the next episode looks really interesting. I think the next participant ends up with health issues after surgery.

I wish I knew how to use the PVR function on my TV....

Well, if there is one thing TLC is good for, it is reruns.  They will probably show it half a million times before the end of the month :)

I haven'****ched the show...as a couple of years ago I watched a series that showed people with binging/purging and obesity and it followed them around the clock while they were hospitalized trying to get their additions/disorders under control

..one of those individuals was hospitalized due to obesity and was trying to lose weight to have bariatric surgery..that whole series, was very emotional. and teh patient didn;t survive, they had a massive heart attack

I wish all individuals trying to get a hold on their additions/habits..I find it a bit too heart wrenching to watch most of the time.

prior to surgery 323lbs....4 years post-op maintaining between 108- 114 lb loss. 

life is AMAZING when you continue on the right path~!.  Use your surgeons gift to the fullest~!
