Tina’s surgery day looms large on this week’s 1000-lb Best Friends and while Tina grapples with pre-op jitters – wouldn’t you? – Vannessa continues her seemingly endless search for a plastic surgeon to perform skin removal surgery.
Surgery is scary under any circumstances, but weight-loss surgery carries its own unique set of anxieties. Tina’s journey has been marked by ups and downs, and this episode looks to capture the raw vulnerability of facing such a major life change. Will she make it through with the support of her friends? I’m thinking some serious hand-holding and pep talks will be required.
Meanwhile, Vannessa’s quest for skin removal surgery takes another turn. Viewers will see her consult with yet another plastic surgeon. This storyline has been a recurring one for Vannessa, highlighting the complicated relationship many individuals have with their bodies after significant weight loss. Hopefully, this consultation brings her closer to a resolution.
This episode looks to be a classic 1000-lb Best Friends blend of raw emotion, humor, and the shared struggle of weight loss. Tune in to TLC on Tuesday, November 19, at 10:00 PM to see how Tina handles surgery day and whether Vannessa finds the surgical solution she’s seeking.
