So happy he could save the patient. It’s so hard because when you start the epinephrine it’s hard with someone or that size to predict perfusion. You also may get arrhythmia you have to correct. The compartments in an obese body are hard to predict like more fat less water based so perfusion is affected. Then if compressions are needed it’s hard. Im just so happy she’s okay.

They stayed so calm and just got to work. I would have been freaking out these doctors are amazing

[@gabbylopez9091]

I appreciate how they show that these situations do happen in real life; not just on medical dramas. Praise to the team for remaining calm. The nurses and Dr. Now were so sweet.

[@dinosaursneverexisted8985]

She seemed more upset that the surgery was called off than that her heart stopped. Her heart stopping was pretty much 0 inconvenience to her thanks to the magic of anesthesia. Pretty fascinating

What a simple yet powerful gesture of kindness 🥺

[@MelissaSeoulLiving2023]

I really feel for her, she worked so hard just to have a complication during her weight loss surgery. You can hear the true pain and disappointment when she said "I didn't get the operation?"

[@sarajane5306]

All the people asking for surgery and having complaints when being denied should be forced to watch this.

[@britney-lee]

7:50 - “when i woke up and found out i hadn’t gotten the surgery, it was life shattering” you mean LIFE SAVING?

[@Jackiemw22]

I absolutely balled my eyes out for her. The determination she had then met with disappointment, as a obese person myself working on my health I just felt for her so much 😭😭😭

You have to be during situations like this

[@davidbarahona5550]

Wow that’s so tough. Kudos to all the medical professionals who were able to revive her. I had the sleeve last May. Lost about 100 pounds, I couldn’t imagine being told I had a heart attack and couldn’t have the surgery…

[@brennoxwallace2203]

As hard as the dr is on these people I believe he truly cares for each one of them. If he sugar- coats everything it wouldn’t push them. He has to be the mean dr to push them in the right direction. He’s an amazing person

[@pearlguy6351]

She doesn’t realize how incredibly lucky she is to have survived that they saved her

[@KatieDe_G]

Dr. Now is a model of medical professionalism. He never externally panics- goes in to calm and collected mode ❤

[@lotharsoran3604]

It's endearing how Dr. Now has platforms for surgery. He's just this little packet of awesome. He's so kind and considerate with his patients, and staff. He seems like such a sweetheart. You can see that sweetness as he talks to Kaleesa when she's brought around: holding her hand to comfort her. Even if he has to tell someone off it is polite. Watching him work on these huge patients reminds me a bit of the fable where a mouse takes the thorn out of the lion's paw. Basically, he is doing the same thing, only a bigger operation: removing something which is causing his patients distress and their ill health. By taking away their ability to eat huge portions, and their cravings in some cases, he is doing them a huge favour. Those who get to the op have worked hard to get there, and completely deserve it.

[@pamelawynne3403]

Dr Now made the right choice. And the nurse who spoke to her when she woke up is a beautiful human.

[@UnKnownUser123-i2o]

I’m an ER and ICU nurse, it’s daily routine for me to give compressions to people who come with cardiac arrest in the ER, when we (as a team of nurses and doctors) finally save a person, you feel the relieve, and I always sweet talk to the people who suffered the cardiac arrest, we are all humans and the least that I could do is make them feel better with sweet words. I feel that nurse so much.

[@beleakswordsteel]

When they started pushing her back into the ICU, you could see the disappointment on his face. He's such a good man and really cares about his patients.

[@Serendipity989]

Kudos to Dr. Now for paying good attention to the monitor as well as the surgery...technically that's the anesthesiologist's job alone but that just shows what a good surgeon he is.

[@jackiehoward7300]

Dr Now is so compassionate. He’s sharp as a tack. I was surprised how fast things went south after Dr Now noticed her heart started struggling.

[@danefilander6306]

That was actually a good call stopping the surgery as it was too much for the patients heart. It was good the nurse and Doctor Now said your will get the surgery at a later date when things settle down.

[@Kara-kx1lb]

You know, Dr. Now didn't say that she couldn't get it. She just had to wait a little longer..

[@arianapaige6746]

You can just see how much she wants to go through with it, it warms my heart when they are actually trying to help her

[@cocofellas]

They “saved” that sow’s life so she could go home and bellyache about eating healthy. They should have let her learn her lesson and not revive her.

[@slashbash1347]

She and her husband have such a loving relationship. When you got two food addicts, they have to both be on board or else one will drag the other down. It seems they decided, "I've got to make a change for her" and "I've got to make a change for him."

[@zer0sixx]

Amazing how calm and good they are working together'!

[@SunRise-lr7ch]

You prefer freaked out? This is what it looks like when you study and train.

[@RvssianCreme]

@@SunRise-lr7ch Sheesh. They were just complimenting the staff. Where do you get that they’d *prefer* freaked out? Not all medical professionals handle themselves so well. They are human after all.

[@allengainzmma]

All those doctors are hero’s. You can tell how much it meant to them to save her life when they knew the situation wasn’t good at all.

[@momofschnauzers]

Maybe this will be a wakeup call for others suffering from extreme obesity, that at any given moment your time to begin taking care of your health and body might be over. I so hope she is able to get the surgery in the future and can live a long healthy life. UPDATE: Just read that both she and her partner were able to get the gastric bypass surgery and are both doing SO well. She is almost unrecognizable in her photos, she has lost so much weight. Wishing them both a healthy future.

[@carolinekinney2364]

Dr Nowzardan is such an awesome caring doctor. He truly cares for his patients. I’d like to know him. Great job

[@amandalove2657]

I just had surgery two weeks ago and I went into cardiac arrest twice but my surgery wasn't one they could just stop and not do. So it doesn't matter how big or small, sick or healthy you are, everyone runs the risk of that happening. It was the scariest thing I've ever been through so I know how she feels. I hope she was able to lose the weight and get her surgery.

[@Vihabpointe]

Dr was absolutely calm and in control. I understand that's his profession, however even with the highest training when things go left, there's usually a flinch even in the best of circumstances. Well done doctor now, patient and God.

[@SevenGC89]

I have had more surgeries than I can count in my life and the way the nurse was talking to her is something I wish I've seen more of. The way she reacted when Dr Now told her she didn't have the surgery because her heart stopped, I know he wasn't trying to come off as uncaring but you could see the way Vianey started rapidly breathing and almost broke down but before she could the other nurse leaned over and said what she said in a very caring voice while comforting her and you can immeditly see her exhale and calm down. I think surgeons tend to forget that just because they are around life threatening situations every day that they're more desensitized to it. Nurses are the unsung heroes of hospitals, the way a patient feels pre and post surgery mentally plays a huge part in recovery. I remember after my kidney transplant my Mom had stepped out of the ICU to grab a coffee and during the 15 min she was gona I spiked a 102 fever and needed to be reintubated, it was a freak occurance but the doctor barely said much, he looked at me and said "You're spiking a fever, we need to put the tube in to help you breathe" and just walked out. The nurse could see I was visually upset and scared and literally sat down in the chair next to me and held my hand and took 10 min to comfort me and explain everything until my Mom got back and they put me under again.

[@sadib4782]

i have no idea how often this medical team practices for a scenario like this, but they did absolutely amazing and handled everything by the book. i’m doing my emergency medical responder training right now so i’m in the thick of arrest treatment, and i can say right now they did everything amazing especially for the situation.

I knew why patients had to lose some weight before the surgery but now I understand why. This is sad. The same thing that happened during surgery is the same thing that happens when we eat ourselves to death😞
