episode description

In this episode we meet people living with morbid obesity. Francis is hoping surgery can save him from his runaway appetite, now that he's ballooned to over 500lb. Kate’s staggering obesity was caused by Cushing's Syndrome, a rare condition that causes people to pile on pounds without over-eating. Plus, we meet two men who actually work at gaining weight – sumo wrestlers.
