The 13-part series chronicles the personal stories of severely obese patients who turn to the Houston Methodist Weight Management Center as a life-changing last resort. One of the most innovative bariatric surgery practices, Methodist adheres to a long-term, multidisciplinary approach that includes a plan for lifelong follow-up. At the heart of the operation is passionate father and son surgeon team Dr. Robert and Garth Davis, a pair who have dedicated their professional lives to raising awareness about obesity. Each episode chronicles the emotional journeys and transformation of obese people who undergo weight-loss surgery in an attempt to regain their lives. Patients are captured at various stages in the process – before and during the surgery, through recovery and post-op care and often through cosmetic procedures designed to remove sagging skin after dramatic weight loss.
