Dr Now Kicks Patient Out Of The Project My 600 lb Life Where Are They Now YouTube

We are preparing to do an endoscopy on Noshanda today to look inside of her stomach because she's complaining of abdominal pain for the past couple of weeks. So we're gonna make sure we can determine what the issue is with her. She's been in the hospital for a month now, but unfortunately, she doesn't have a lot of progress to show from that time here because she barely lost anything and she's still not getting out of it. So she has small hypohermia and very large stomach. Other than that, everything looks okay. I think we have a clear picture of what's going on with Noshanda at this point, and it is unfortunate. A month ago, I approved her for weight loss surgery with the understanding that we would help her lose another 50 pounds. Noshanda has been complaining of stomach pain for the past couple of weeks, but none of the tests we ran are showing any significant issues that will cause that. So it is likely a result of her getting an enabler to sneak food in and gorging herself all at once because she has been on a controlled diet here in the hospital for a little over a month and has hardly been losing weight. On top of that, she has not been cooperative with PT to get out of bed. So I think it's clear at this point there is no reason to keep her here in the hospital and keep playing games with her. So I'm gonna send her home, and if she decides to start making the changes she needs and get back on track, we can work with her. But if not, then there is nothing more we can do for her. 521. So essentially in one month, you lost only eight pounds instead of 100. So why I should believe right now that you're gonna go home and change? Why? Just wait till I come back and you'll see the results. Well, you told me that more than a dozen times. Yeah, so you told me that in Louisiana. You told me that on Skype when I called you. You told me when you got to Houston. So, so far, your track record is zero, and you have no credibility at all. I just wanna get my surgery. So I'm working towards that. So I'm not only doing a diet. I'm doing my PT exercises three times a week. Trying to stand, trying to help my mobility out. And I'm gonna try to do that again today when PT come for my next session. Hi, it's Dr. Carter, the physical therapist. Come in, Dr. Carter. My PT person is Dr. Sterling Carter, and he's been helping me get my legs stronger with different exercises. So let's go ahead and sit up on the side of the bed. I'm gonna show you some exercises that I want you to start doing, but I'm actually gonna try to assist you from back in the back. And we have a strategy for getting me up. Okay. One, two, three. Ah! Okay, good, good. I hurt so bad. I need to stand. Oh! That is awesome. You did a great job, you made it. Dr. Carter, I hurt so bad, I lied to you. No, you did great. That was awesome. I need you to show him how to lift me like you was doing. I'm feeling down because I had to meet with Dr. Nile today, and I couldn't keep my appointment because my legs was bothering me. Hello, Dr. Nile? This is LaShonta. Yeah, what's going on? You were supposed to come in earlier today, but just like last time, you didn't make it. So what happened? I know I was supposed to come in, but my legs, I don't know, my leg was real heavy and real shaky. I couldn't stand. Well, LaShonta, you told me that you were getting up and walking every day, and not only that, you said you were doing PT and exercises every day. So you should be getting better at that. I am. Can I reschedule? Reschedule for what? To come in. So if you can't come in now, what is rescheduling gonna be different? Dr. Nile, listen. You listening? Yeah. I want to reschedule. If I can't reschedule, I can come in an ambulance. What is the point of coming in the ambulance to the office to tell me that you haven't lost any weight? You're either lying to me or you're lying to yourself too. I'm not lying to myself and I'm not lying to you. Give me one more chance. LaShonta, I'm not gonna play any more games with you. So in one month, no matter what, we're gonna get your weight and see if you're walking. And if what you've been telling me isn't accurate, then that's it. You're out of the program. Okay. We brought LaShonta into the hospital to get an update of her progress. But the fact that we have to send an ambulance to get her because she still can't walk isn't a good sign. So I am very concerned that what we're gonna learn today isn't going to be positive. So it looked like you gained another 81 pounds since last time you were here. So you wanna explain how that is and what happened when you've been telling me how great you've been doing? You know, I told you I had fell off and I told you I got back on track. Every time I call you, you say you're following the diet and you're walking and you're getting physical therapy. And now after all this time, you don't even fit in the bed anymore. And this is what else I wanted to tell you. Since I've been back on my diet. You haven't been back on your diet. Don't tell me that. Yes, I have. Now listen to me. Since I've been back on my diet, like every time I eat- LaShonta, stop lying, okay? There's no way you've been on a diet that you gained 80 pounds. You can't get up and walk, right? No. You can't get out of bed, right? No. So why are you lying to me on the phone? You're telling me that you can get out of bed and you can walk and you're doing physical therapy. I am doing physical therapy. What do you mean you're doing, you've been walking? I will tell you, a couple of weeks ago, the physical therapist, she was helping me. She was helping me stand. But I didn't walk, really, Dr. Now, and I've been doing it. LaShonta, there is no way with these legs you can stand up. Don't lie. Dr. Now, I need to get some x-rays on my knees. I'm telling you, something is wrong. You have been saying that for a year, and we have checked that issue out a number of times. The only issue is your weight, and you have pain from strain of that and from being immobile. So we're gonna do some tests on you to make sure everything's all right, and that we don't need to address anything with you. And if there isn't, then we send you home. Because we're done, and I'm not playing games with you any longer because you won't tell me the truth, and I can't work with that. I really am trying my hardest, Dr. Now. I wish you'd believe me. LaShonta, for the past year, we have told you the same thing, that until you lose 50 pounds and get up and walk on your own, there's nothing we can do for you, okay? You keep saying that you're doing physical therapy and you get walking. There is no way, with all that weight you got on you, you're gonna be walking, and you need to stop lying for me, okay? I'm telling you, Dr. Now. No, I don't wanna hear that. We've given you all the tools you need to change your life, so we can help you with your weight loss, okay? And you keep lying and saying that you've been doing physical therapy, you're doing your diet. Last time I even talked with you, you told me you were walking and you were doing physical therapy, which is totally a lie. There's no way you can stand and walk. For the past two years, you haven't been working hard. We're giving you all the support to get you out of the bed, to turn your life around, and it's very clear that you're not serious about this. I am serious. Well, the action doesn't show, okay? At this point, we're done, because- You're not serious about losing weight. You're not serious about having weight loss surgery. So you're kicking me out of the- No, you're yourself. You're kicking yourself out of the program, Roshanta, because we've given you all the tools that you need to lose weight, and for past two years, you haven't done any of that. But if you ever decide to wake up, then I expect you to be under 500 pounds and be able to walk. That's the same thing we told you last time you were here.
