Big Medicine’s Allen Almost Stands Up

Tonight’s episode of Big Medicine focused on Allen (formerly 700 lbs), a mother/daughter team, and one man who didn’t appear to be obese, yet was in just as much danger due to his pot belly.
I felt really proud of Allen tonight. Considering he was 700 lbs before his gastric bypass, he has made great progress. His fitness coach set him up with a few light dumbbells and Allen was able to do some arm exercises. Towards the end of the show, Allen attempted to stand up but his legs were still a little too weak to handle it.
The mother and daughter on the show both had gastric bypass as well as excess skin removal. They seemed to be doing well after their surgeries and were very happy with the results.
The most surprising of everyone was the man who had fat removed from his mid-section. Belly fat is really dangerous, even if you’re not obese. He also looked great after dropping his excess weight.
I’m looking forward to seeing Allen’s progress throughout the show.
