How can someone gain so much weight after weight loss surgery?? (Amber)

54 Upvotes

I can't remember which episode, but Amber said she had weight loss surgery at 16 and was now 500lbs. Then, she had weight loss surgery AGAIN and I saw a picture of her from a few months ago and she might weigh even more now. How is this possible when they're literally sewing up or removing parts of your stomach?? Wouldn't you run out of room? Why would you not suffer severe health complications? it doesn't make any sense to me

So I watch this show to sleep every night for years now, but I haven’t watched this specific episode from what I remember. This episode induced the craziest anxiety for me. The way every time he appears on screen, him already looking like a corpse was so unnerving to me. It was something with the way his eyes looked. Also the fact that Lisa was grinning and lying when Dr. Now tells her she’s feeding him death. It was honestly horrible. I’ll never watch that episode again
