Biello wants to walk again. Jean-Pierre Allard wants his son to see how
energetic he once was. And Vanessa Hull simply hopes not to be dead before
30. Three people of different worlds, yet inextricably linked to a condition
that Dr. Nicholas Christou says is poised to spread more rapidly than
smoking—morbid obesity. This clinical program follows the three as they each
seek an answer in the form of gastric bypass surgery. Medical professionals
explain the physiology of obesity and argue the effectiveness of the
procedure, and weight-loss surgery advocates analyze the ever-existing
social stigmas against obese people. Contains explicit nudity. Portions are
in French with English subtitles. (48 minutes)
