※ This video is part of the special documentary - Family Health Project Part 2: A Project to Find the Lost Health of a Severely Obese Mother and Daughter, Approaching 100kg, that aired on November 22, 2012. Kim Jeong-ja, who was 157cm tall, weighed 48kg, and boasted a 21-inch waist size until she was 20. However, after experiencing the bitterness of life, such as the pain of a failed marriage, divorce, and separation from her children, she became a severely obese patient, weighing close to 100kg and with a waist size of well over 40 inches. “I want to eat like crazy, but I hold back because I’m afraid I’ll be a burden to my children when I die.” This is what she said, having already suffered from high blood pressure, diabetes, and hypothyroidism due to obesity. However, what hurts her more than her own loss of health is her daughter. The mother’s misguided love for her daughter, who came to visit her as an adult, not sparing food to make up for the time she had lost, also made her daughter severely obese! The daughter, who is worried about pregnancy-induced hypertension that occurs when a morbidly obese patient becomes pregnant, is very worried about pregnancy. So the production team, together with the medical dream team, provided various solutions to these two people, such as diet control, exercise, surgery, and psychotherapy. They helped them with their diet, lifestyle, and psychological recovery over a period of two months. ✔ Program name: Special documentary - Family health project Part 2: A project to find the lost health of a morbidly obese mother and daughter, who are close to 100 kg ✔ Broadcast date: 2012.11.22
