00:11:47,034 AND I WAS HAPPY THEN, 194 00:11:47,034 --> 00:11:49,517 AND I THOUGHT MY LIFE WAS TURNING AROUND. 195 00:11:49,517 --> 00:11:52,206 I WAS EVEN ABLE TO LOSE SOME WEIGHT BEFORE THE WEDDING, 196 00:11:52,206 --> 00:11:55,482 BUT NOT A WHOLE LOT BECAUSE I WAS STILL AROUND 450 POUNDS. 197 00:11:57,931 --> 00:12:01,241 BUT SOON AFTER WE GOT MARRIED AND I MOVED IN WITH HIM, 198 00:12:01,241 --> 00:12:03,862 THINGS STARTED TO GET HARDER. 199 00:12:03,862 --> 00:12:07,758 HE WAS IN THE MILITARY, AND IT TOOK A TOLL ON HIM. 200 00:12:07,758 --> 00:12:12,965 HE CAME BACK FROM THE WAR IN IRAQ WITH UNDIAGNOSED PTSD, 201 00:12:12,965 --> 00:12:14,965 SO HE STARTED TO SUFFER THESE EPISODES 202 00:12:14,965 --> 00:12:18,379 WHERE HE THOUGHT HE WAS BACK THERE. 203 00:12:18,379 --> 00:12:21,586 I WAS WAKING UP TO GUNS IN MY FACE AT HOME 204 00:12:21,586 --> 00:12:24,896 BECAUSE HE WAS HAVING NIGHTMARES. 205 00:12:24,896 --> 00:12:30,206 AND THAT WENT ON FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS OF MY LIFE. 206 00:12:30,206 --> 00:12:35,655 BEING IN ANOTHER SITUATION WHERE I DIDN'T FEEL SAFE, 207 00:12:35,655 --> 00:12:40,000 FOOD WAS, YET AGAIN, ANOTHER COMFORT TO ME, 208 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:44,137 AND MY WEIGHT GOT UP TO AROUND 600 BY THE TIME I WAS 30. 209 00:12:44,137 --> 00:12:47,862 AT THAT POINT, I FINALLY DECIDED THAT MY LIFE WAS GETTING SO BAD 210 00:12:47,862 --> 00:12:49,241 THAT I HAD TO DO SOMETHING, 211 00:12:49,241 --> 00:12:52,620 OR I JUST WASN'T GONNA LAST MUCH LONGER. 212 00:12:52,620 --> 00:12:57,206 MY FIRST HUSBAND, HE WAS THE FIRST GUY I HAD TRUSTED, 213 00:12:57,206 --> 00:12:59,689 AND I FELT LIKE HE HAD BETRAYED THAT TRUST 214 00:12:59,689 --> 00:13:03,103 WITH HOW HE TREATED ME FOR 10 YEARS. 215 00:13:03,103 --> 00:13:06,655 SO I LEFT HIM AND GOT WEIGHT-LOSS SURGERY. 216 00:13:06,655 --> 00:13:09,689 I WANTED TO TAKE MY LIFE BACK AND FINALLY LOSE ALL THE WEIGHT, 217 00:13:09,689 --> 00:13:12,931 SO I HAD MY STOMACH STAPLED. 218 00:13:12,931 --> 00:13:14,551 AND FOR THE YEAR AFTER THAT, 219 00:13:14,551 --> 00:13:19,413 I STARTED TO REALLY LOSE WEIGHT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE. 220 00:13:19,413 --> 00:13:25,793 AND AT FIRST THE SURGERY WORKED AND I GOT DOWN TO 398 POUNDS. 221 00:13:25,793 --> 00:13:29,586 AND I WAS REALLY EXCITED, BECAUSE I WAS DOING WELL. 222 00:13:29,586 --> 00:13:31,103 I WAS 32 THEN, 223 00:13:31,103 --> 00:13:34,586 SO IT WAS ALMOST 20 YEARS SINCE I WAS DOWN THAT LOW. 224 00:13:37,137 --> 00:13:39,034 BUT THAT'S AS FAR AS MY WEIGHT LOSS WENT, 225 00:13:39,034 --> 00:13:40,931 BECAUSE AFTER, I STARTED STRUGGLING 226 00:13:40,931 --> 00:13:42,793 WITH WANTING TO EAT AGAIN. 227 00:13:42,793 --> 00:13:45,793 SO I STARTED EATING MORE, EVEN WHEN I WAS FULL. 228 00:13:47,827 --> 00:13:50,103 AND I ENDED UP BUSTING MY STAPLES 229 00:13:50,103 --> 00:13:54,482 AND WAS BACK IN THE 500s AGAIN BY THE TIME I WAS 33. 230 00:13:54,482 --> 00:13:57,137 AND I WAS REALLY DEPRESSED ABOUT THAT, 231 00:13:57,137 --> 00:13:58,862 AND I STARTED TO GIVE UP. 232 00:14:01,103 --> 00:14:04,551 BUT, THANKFULLY, THAT'S WHEN I MET RAY. 233 00:14:04,551 --> 00:14:06,000 I HAD NO FRIENDS OR ANYONE, 234 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,310 SO I JOINED SOME ONLINE CHAT ROOMS 235 00:14:08,310 --> 00:14:11,689 JUST TO CONNECT WITH PEOPLE AND I MET RAY IN ONE OF THEM 236 00:14:11,689 --> 00:14:13,172 AND I REALLY LIKED CHATTING WITH HIM, 237 00:14:13,172 --> 00:14:17,103 SO WE STARTED TALKING OFFLINE. 238 00:14:17,103 --> 00:14:20,241 RAY CAME INTO MY LIFE KIND OF AS A RAY OF SUNSHINE 239 00:14:20,241 --> 00:14:24,931 AND REALLY SHOWED ME WHAT LIFE COULD BE. 240 00:14:24,931 --> 00:14:26,448 AND THREE MONTHS AFTER WE MET, 241 00:14:26,448 --> 00:14:29,344 HE OFFERED TO LET ME MOVE IN WITH HIM, AND I DID. 242 00:14:29,344 --> 00:14:31,482 AND WE'VE BEEN TOGETHER EVER SINCE. 243 00:14:33,586 --> 00:14:35,482 WHEN RAY AND ME WERE FIRST TOGETHER, 244 00:14:35,482 --> 00:14:37,931 EVEN THOUGH IT WAS HARD, I WAS STILL ABLE TO GO OUT, 245 00:14:37,931 --> 00:14:39,965 AND WE COULD DO THINGS TOGETHER. 246 00:14:42,137 --> 00:14:45,620 BUT EVEN THOUGH I HAD RAY IN MY LIFE AND THINGS WERE BETTER, 247 00:14:45,620 --> 00:14:48,862 AT THAT POINT, MY FOOD ADDICTION WAS ALREADY OUT OF CONTROL, 248 00:14:48,862 --> 00:14:52,068 AND I JUST KEPT EATING. 249 00:14:52,068 --> 00:14:56,172 AND IT WASN'T

IT'S A HUGE RISK, 1307 01:10:33,068 --> 01:10:37,758 BUT EVERYTHING'S RIDING ON IT, AND THE REST OF MY LIFE 1308 01:10:37,758 --> 01:10:40,413 DEPENDS ON THE SURGERY BEING SUCCESSFUL. 1309 01:10:43,931 --> 01:10:46,172 Dr. Now: TODAY WE ARE HOPEFULLY GOING TO BE ABLE 1310 01:10:46,172 --> 01:10:49,758 TO PERFORM BYPASS SURGERY ON HOLLY. 1311 01:10:49,758 --> 01:10:52,827 BUT BECAUSE SHE'S ALREADY HAD A PREVIOUS SURGERY 1312 01:10:52,827 --> 01:10:55,379 WHERE SHE BLEW HER STAPLES OUT, 1313 01:10:55,379 --> 01:10:57,965 THERE IS A LOT OF SCAR TISSUE AND ISSUES 1314 01:10:57,965 --> 01:11:01,413 WE HAVE TO TRY TO WORK AROUND TO SEE WHAT'S POSSIBLE. 1315 01:11:05,103 --> 01:11:07,862 I DID AN ENDOSCOPY ON HER A FEW DAYS AGO, 1316 01:11:07,862 --> 01:11:10,379 WHERE WE PUT A CAMERA DOWN INTO HER STOMACH 1317 01:11:10,379 --> 01:11:13,586 AND CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE ARE ANY SEVERE ISSUES 1318 01:11:13,586 --> 01:11:15,827 THAT WOULD PREVENT SURGERY. 1319 01:11:15,827 --> 01:11:19,344 WE CAN TURN THE ROOM LIGHT OFF. 1320 01:11:19,344 --> 01:11:23,551 THERE WERE NO SIGNIFICANT ISSUES INSIDE HER STOMACH CAVITY, 1321 01:11:23,551 --> 01:11:26,827 BUT THE REAL PROBLEM WOULD BE CAUSED BY SCAR TISSUE 1322 01:11:26,827 --> 01:11:30,172 AROUND HER STOMACH MUSCLES AND INCISIONS. 1323 01:11:34,931 --> 01:11:38,068 SO THERE IS NO WAY TO KNOW HOW SEVERE THE ISSUES ARE 1324 01:11:38,068 --> 01:11:42,275 UNTIL WE SEE HOW IT ALL LOOKS INSIDE THOSE AREAS. 1325 01:11:42,275 --> 01:11:45,586 BUT MY GOAL IS TO REPAIR ALL THE DAMAGE I FIND 1326 01:11:45,586 --> 01:11:48,310 AND PERFORM THE GASTRIC BYPASS ON HER 1327 01:11:48,310 --> 01:11:53,000 BECAUSE SHE NEEDS AS AGGRESSIVE A PROCEDURE AS POSSIBLE. 1328 01:11:53,000 --> 01:11:55,896 AND GASTRIC BYPASS IS AN OPERATION 1329 01:11:55,896 --> 01:11:59,586 THAT REDUCES SIZE OF STOMACH BY 90% 1330 01:11:59,586 --> 01:12:02,965 AND BYPASS THE UPPER PART OF SMALL INTESTINE. 1331 01:12:02,965 --> 01:12:06,896 SO IT IMPEDES THE ABSORPTION OF FOOD INTO THE BODY. 1332 01:12:06,896 --> 01:12:09,482 AND THIS ALSO LIMITS THE AMOUNT OF FOOD 1333 01:12:09,482 --> 01:12:12,551 THAT THE PATIENT CAN EAT AT ONE TIME. 1334 01:12:12,551 --> 01:12:17,068 SO THIS WILL HELP THEM TO LOSE MORE WEIGHT OVER THE LONG TERM. 1335 01:12:27,275 --> 01:12:31,965 IT LOOKS LIKE HOLLY HAS A HERNIA AROUND HER BELLY BUTTON, 1336 01:12:31,965 --> 01:12:36,137 AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT IS WRAPPING AROUND SOME OF HER INTESTINES 1337 01:12:36,137 --> 01:12:37,551 AND THE STOMACH. 1338 01:12:37,551 --> 01:12:40,758 AND THIS HERNIA WILL CAUSE SEVERE COMPLICATIONS 1339 01:12:40,758 --> 01:12:44,172 AND COULD EVEN BE LIFE-THREATENING FOR HER. 1340 01:12:44,172 --> 01:12:47,379 SO THIS IS AN EXTREMELY UNFORTUNATE SITUATION 1341 01:12:47,379 --> 01:12:49,275 WITH HOLLY RIGHT NOW, 1342 01:12:49,275 --> 01:12:52,000 BECAUSE AS LONG AS THIS HERNIA IS HERE, 1343 01:12:52,000 --> 01:12:54,413 THERE IS NO WAY WE CAN SAFELY COMPLETE 1344 01:12:54,413 --> 01:12:55,241 WEIGHT-LOSS SURGERY ON HER. 1345 01:13:12,448 --> 01:13:15,137 Dr. Now: RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTING TO PERFORM 1346 01:13:15,137 --> 01:13:17,517 GASTRIC BYPASS ON HOLLY, 1347 01:13:17,517 --> 01:13:20,620 BUT WE HAVE ENCOUNTERED A SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM 1348 01:13:20,620 --> 01:13:24,310 THAT IS A RESULT OF HER PREVIOUS SURGERY. 1349 01:13:24,310 --> 01:13:27,896 ON TOP OF ALL THE SCAR TISSUE WE ARE HAVING TO WORK AROUND, 1350 01:13:27,896 --> 01:13:31,310 SHE HAS A SEVERE HERNIA AROUND HER BELLY BUTTON 1351 01:13:31,310 --> 01:13:34,827 THAT IS EXTENDED AND WRAPPED AROUND HER INTESTINE 1352 01:13:34,827 --> 01:13:37,310 AND HER ABDOMINAL CAVITY. 1353 01:13:37,310 --> 01:13:39,000 AND IF THAT'S NOT FIXED, 1354 01:13:39,000 --> 01:13:43,379 THEN COMPLETING ANY WEIGHT-LOSS SURGERY ON HER WON'T BE POSSIBLE 1355 01:13:43,379 --> 01:13:47,275 BECAUSE IT COULD RESULT IN SEVERE COMPLICATION FOR HER 1356 01:13:47,275 --> 01:13:49,482 THAT COULD BE LIFE-THREATENING. 1357 01:13:49,482 --> 01:13:52,310 SO I AM ATTEMPTING TO FIX HER HERNIA, 1358 01:13:52,310 --> 01:13:54,137 BECAUSE IT IS THE ONLY CHANCE 1359 01:13:54,137 --> 01:13:56,965 HOLLY HAS TO HAVE THIS OPERATION. 1360 01:14:02,482 --> 01:14:04,172 ROOM LIGHT ON. 1361 01:14:06,344 --> 01:14:09,586 I'M ALMOST FINISHED REPAIRING HER HERNIA, 1362 01:14:09,586 --> 01:14:11,068 AND ONCE I DO THAT, 1363 01:14:11,068 --> 01:14:14,655 I WILL NEED TO REPAIR SOME OF THE DAMAGE AROUND HER STOMACH 1364 01:14:14,655 --> 01:14:17,275 FROM HER PREVIOUS WEIGHT-LOSS SURGERY 1365 01:14:17,275 --> 01:14:22,137 AND THEN I'M GOING TO ATTEMPT TO COMPLETE A FULL GASTRIC BYPASS. 1366 01:14:22,137 --> 01:14:24,793 BUT I STILL HAVE A WAYS TO GO. 1367 01:14:33,551 --> 01:14:37,517 IT'S NERVE-WRACKING WHEN YOU'RE WAITING FOR NEWS, 1368 01:14:37,517 --> 01:14:40,586 AND I'M NERVOUS FOR HOLLY. 1369 01:14:40,586 --> 01:14:42,172 THERE'S ALWAYS A POSSIBILITY 1370 01:14:42,172 --> 01:14:45,034 THAT HOLLY'S NOT GONNA COME OUT OF THE SURGERY ALIVE, 1371 01:14:45,034 --> 01:14:47,931 BUT I ALSO KNOW SHE'S A STRONG PERSON 1372 01:14:47,931 --> 01:14:49,655 AND THAT SHE'S GONNA DO WELL. 1373 01:15:11,241 --> 01:15:13,448 ROOM LIGHT ON. 1374 01:15:13,448 --> 01:15:15,137 LET'S CLOSE IT UP. 1375 01:15:17,379 --> 01:15:20,103 OKAY, ALL FINISHED. 1376 01:15:20,103 --> 01:15:23,793 OKAY, HOLLY'S SURGERY WENT VERY WELL. 1377 01:15:23,793 --> 01:15:28,172 IT WAS VERY CHALLENGING BECAUSE OF HER PREVIOUS SURGERY. 1378 01:15:28,172 --> 01:15:30,896 THERE WERE A FEW MOMENTS WHERE I WAS UNCERTAIN 1379 01:15:30,896 --> 01:15:34,586 IF WE WERE GOING TO BE ABLE TO COMPLETE THE OPERATION. 1380 01:15:34,586 --> 01:15:37,241 WE HAD TO MAKE AN INCISION AND FIX THAT HERNIA 1381 01:15:37,241 --> 01:15:39,344 THAT SHE HAD IN BELLY BUTTON 1382 01:15:39,344 --> 01:15:41,103 SO THE BOWEL WOULD NOT GET INTO IT 1383 01:15:41,103 --> 01:15:43,931 AND HAVE COMPLICATION AFTER SURGERY. 1384 01:15:43,931 --> 01:15:47,931 SO, OVERALL, SURGERY WAS COMPLICATED BUT WENT VERY WELL, 1385 01:15:47,931 --> 01:15:52,068 AND WE WERE ABLE TO DO GASTRIC BYPASS ON HER. 1386 01:15:52,068 --> 01:15:54,482 AND THIS IS GONNA GIVE HER THE HELP SHE NEEDS 1387 01:15:54,482 --> 01:15:56,931 TO STAY ON TRACK AND KEEP LOSING WEIGHT 1388 01:15:56,931 --> 01:16:00,103 WHILE SHE WORKS ON HER DEEPER EMOTIONAL ISSUES. 1389 01:16:00,103 --> 01:16:03,793 THAT WILL BE VITAL FOR LONG-TERM SUCCESS. 1390 01:16:03,793 --> 01:16:06,965 AND WITH THIS SURGERY, HOLLY SHOULD LOSE 40 POUNDS 1391 01:16:06,965 --> 01:16:08,310 THIS FIRST MONTH, 1392 01:16:08,310 --> 01:16:10,413 AND THEN 25 POUNDS EACH MONTH 1393 01:16:10,413 --> 01:16:14,034 UNTIL SHE GETS IN THE LOWER 300s. 1394 01:16:14,034 --> 01:16:17,620 BUT IF HOLLY WANTS TO SEE THAT PROGRESS CONTINUE, 1395 01:16:17,620 --> 01:16:20,517 THEN SHE'S GOING TO HAVE TO MAKE SURE SHE DEALS 1396 01:16:20,517 --> 01:16:24,206 WITH THE ISSUES THAT HAVE BEEN DRIVING HER TO EAT. 1397 01:16:24,206 --> 01:16:27,448 SO WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT HOLLY WILL FOLLOW 1398 01:16:27,448 --> 01:16:30,137 WITH THE THERAPIST AND CONTINUE WITH THAT, 1399 01:16:30,137 --> 01:16:33,137 BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO BE VERY EASY FOR HER 1400 01:16:33,137 --> 01:16:38,275 TO FALL BACK INTO USING FOOD TO DEAL WITH HER EMOTIONS. 1401 01:16:38,275 --> 01:16:41,000
