[Fat doctor]. The Johnson sisters

Description

The extraordinary story of three overweight sisters, all weighing about 23 stone who have suffered with their weight since childhood. Food has now become an obsession; the only solution is weight loss surgery. Unusually, surgeon Shaw Somers performs all three of their operations on the same day. In this programme we also examine the year on year rise in bariatric operations and follow Shaw Somers as he trains up a new surgeon for the unit.
