'The Fat Doctor'

Streamline Surgical’s bariatric surgeons Shaw Somers and Guy Slater are Discovery Home & Health’s ‘Fat Doctors’. They battle to help the nation’s obese lose weight, changing and ultimately saving their lives.

‘The Fat Doctor’ is returning to our screens with series three premiering 13th October at 9pm. With more of Britain’s biggest going under the knife in an attempt to lose the weight, this series is set to be even more riveting and astonishing.

Shaw and Guy perform bariatric surgery on Britain’s most obese and face the challenges associated with this before, during and after the surgery. The show gives an insider’s perspective into the surgery from both the patient’s and surgeon’s perspective, and we follow their progress throughout each programme.
