My 600 lb. life

I wish they would show a more complete picture ( so to speak ) of the whole process his patients go through. I would love to know if the doc requires a psych eval and counseling if needed. It would seem by the editing that he doesn't, but of course we don't know for sure. 

I do think he is good about telling his patients to shape up if they go off their food plan. 

I don't happen to agree with his "3 meals a day and no snacks" plan, but hey...every doc's plans are different. 

I agree here also, I wonder if the three meals is anything to do with them bing 600  plus pounds, ? not sure how it would be any different but I  just can not say I have known anyone that weight that had the surgery....  I would love to see a show on JUST the dr. WE  should email them :)

My NUT mandates 3 meals and no snacks! I can't get enough protein that way, plus I need a snack when I workout so I generally sneak one snack a day. Isn't it crazy how plans vary?

I always thought I was the odd person out here. My Surgeon and Nut also have the same plan for me.  No liquid calories. It tough for me to get my protein, although it's been easier since I started eating some solid foods.

I generally have to have one shake a day and it's often my snack. I like to have "food" (ie something chewable for b, l and d. But before the gym I will have a cheese stick or maybe a hard boiled egg. And then after the gym I may have a shake. I don't eat dinner until 7:30 or so and lunch is noon and the gym is 5 or 6 and that's a long time to go without food! Luckily a lot of people on here have snacks so I convince myself it's ok :)

I noticed, and it might be due to editing, he has the person try and lose weight, they don't, a month later they do and bam he schedules them for surgery the next week.Maybe because I had to do a years worth of visits to my NUT, it just seems like it is awful fast..but they may do stuff before that we don 't see.

I am pretty much addicted to the show.  Don't have cable bu****ch it on Roku Amazon Prime.

The doctor is trying to help people that most people will not work with.  He is willing to give them a chance.  The first season was success stories.  This season we are seeing more people who are not being helped by surgery.

This season is more about people with dysfunctional families :(

I too would like to see more about the doctor. He seems like a no nonsense guy. There was the one woman who simply refused to follow his suggestions. I agree, there's so much that we don't see. I didn't know it had been on before. Is the rny the only wls he does? I think I saw a band in the background in one episode.

Here's his website: http://www.drnowmd.com/hos/Pages/TreatmentPages/Treatments.h tml

He does RNY, lap band, and VSG.

His OH profile says he does the DS (http://www.obesityhelp.com/profiles/bariatric-surgeon/dr-you nan-nowzaradan/), but I don't see that on his official website.
