Gastric Band Gone Wrong | Weight Loss Ward | True Lives

Описание: Documentary series chronicling the work of the UK's biggest and busiest obesity unit based at the Sunderland Royal Hospital. Today, we catch up with 31 stone Doreen Thomas on her week long assessment on the weight loss ward. At the age of 56, this is the first time she has slept away from home in 37 years but she is determined to do things her own way. Sometimes weight loss does not always go to plan as 66-year-old Jeff Allan discovered. He weighed in at 36 stone before having a gastric balloon fitted, but lost too much weight too quickly. He soon became dehydrated and had to have it removed as an emergency procedure. A similar thing happened to 29-year-old Natalie Middleton, who had her gastric band removed when her weight plummeted to eight stone and endangered her life..
