第一季第七集(2)

Gastric bypass is a procedure normally done on obese patients

to help them lose weight.

Claire?

She doesn't need to lose weight.

Are you kidding?

This means the world to her.

But it is so typical of this girl to take the easy way out.

She's done it with everything since she was a little kid.

Mrs. Rice, nothing about this is gonna be easy. Rice

She's gonna face a lifelong struggle with malnutrition

unless she has surgery to reverse the procedure.

Do the surgery.

I told her to watch the freshman 15 --

don't eat junk, exercise.

But when she came home Christmas, who had to take her out and buy her

a brand-new pair of size-6 jeans because she couldn't get in the ones I got her last summer?

Tina, you know, she tries so hard. Tina,

She does. She gets good grades. She gets "A"s.

She has illegal surgery in Mexico.

Unfortunately, there were complications with the bypass.

What do you mean?

She has what looks like an abscess under her diaphragm --

an edema, which is a swelling of the bowel wall.

I can't say for certain she'll recover completely.

Just... do whatever you have to do to make her well, okay?
