I know I haven't been good to him, and I
really want him to try and get weight loss surgery too. I know, I just want to apologize for
everything I put you through in the past, and I will earn your forgiveness. You have to. That's the only way you get it
back. I'm not sure if I can believe anything
Stephen says because he has mood swings. He has different personalities. It depends on which Stephen he is today. I just want you to know that I care about
you. Steven Asante, from what I understand, is
going to be a unique case. It looks really yummy. His brother Justin is over £600 and he's also
coming with him. Steven's never going to change. Even before he was on the drugs, he was
still a bad person. So it sounds like me may be facing the
hardest challenge yet. Try to help the Asantes. It's going to be a whole nother story in the
news worldwide, because I'm not going to be stuck here. See? You want to go to jail? No. No, sir. Call the police department. From what I understand, Steven suffers from
severe psychological issues, so it sounds like a perfect storm of dysfunction is
coming. Did it, did it, did it, did it did it did. I'm in a lot of pain and I could really use
some pain medicine. Stephen is asking for pain medication and his
body language shows that he really wants it. So we are dealing with a very addictive and
pathological personality here. Yeah. Let me talk to him first. Hold on. Justin, social anxiety is very
advanced. First of all, we got all the lab work back
and everything looked okay. He's looking at Cinecitta. The camera. And this is something that
probably worked with his father, but that behavior is not going to work here. Say bye to your brother. Bye bye. I just want to get as far away from him as
possible right now. This whole family is in a downward death
spiral together. I need somebody in my room immediately. I have been waiting. I want this light off. It's ridiculous what I have to do to get
people to respond around here. We're starting to develop some issues with
Stephen. A lot of his pathological behavior has
started to come out. You're done here. Unless you have an emergency, you will not
be admitted back. Please. Wonderful. Stephen will cry and he'll beg. But the reality is he doesn't care about
changing. Steven is abusing the system to get
painkillers, and that behavior is unacceptable because right now his addiction
to pain medication is going to kill him before his overeating does. Steven, you lying about everything you're
doing. So here's what we're going to do. I'm suspending you from the weight loss
program, and you're going from here to a drug addiction program. I'm really excited today because we are
finally opening up my hobby store. This is a big deal for Justin, and with
Stephen no longer here to bully Justin all day long, he's leaving his room more and
he's made two good friends already. They're a bit of spray paint. You should be
all golden. It feels really good to start a career in a
business like this. Since Stephen left, things have been better
here. I don't really like him much because he's a
big bully that just tortured me all day, so I'm happy with how things are. Except for my weight. I know I'm getting a lot, and I am getting
worried that I'm going to end up like Stephen. If Stephen thinks he can come here and try to
get some painkillers, then I'm going to adjust his perspective on things. Your days of manipulating the system and
getting painkillers are over. Get that through your head, because if you
don't, you're going to end up either dead or in jail. I'm at Dr. Niles, and I'm about to find out
how much I've lost over the last few months, so I'm just hoping for a really good weight
loss to show him today. Stephen is the most dysfunctional patient I
ever seen in my life. The only option you got left right now. Do a sleeve gastrectomy on you, and
hopefully that will control your eating habit. I'm here to see Dr. Nile for my first official post surgery
appointment. Wow. Like that. I know I haven't been good to him, and I
really want him to try and get weight loss surgery too. I know, I just want to apologize for
everything I put you through in the past, and I will earn your forgiveness. You have to. That's the only way you get it
back. I'm not sure if I can believe anything
Stephen says because he has mood swings. He has different personalities. It depends on which Stephen he is today. I just want you to know that I care about
you. I think when you come down here, we're going
to check your weight. And hopefully when I see you, you'll be
under 560. Okay. Okay. I've adjusted my diet a good bit, so
I'm hoping I lost 60, £70. And I'm hoping that I get approved for my
surgery. You gained £43 in the last year? Yeah. Justin hasn't been honest with me or
himself this past year about his eating habits. I think it was a mistake for me to come down,
but I learned that I need to do better than what I'm doing now. Since I got back from
seeing Doctor Now in Houston, I've made more drastic changes to my diet, and I'm not
making any exceptions to Dr. Now's program. So, Justin, you lost £47 in a month. You see the difference in what you can do if
you stick to the diet. Yes. All right. We're going to improve you for weight loss
surgery. Okay. Awesome. I'm definitely not going. What is the big deal? You want to. Know the truth? I don't want to be in the
same car, same room with him. You know why? Because he beat the out of me
every single day for 18 years. I beat the. Out of you for 18 years. Yeah, you did try to draw me out of a car. You slammed my hand on the door. You punched me every single day. You grabbed. Me. I can't stand being in the same. Room every single day. Justin. I get why Justin is upset. I would be, too, if someone took my
painkillers. But they both cannot continue to behave like
this. And Jesse get this so I can pick up that dog. And I don't think anybody saw it. I'm not staying in the same city as Stephen
for another minute, and as soon as I lose the weight and get on my own, there'll be no one
to try to force me to talk to him. I wanted to say to see what happens with
Stephen. But justice already made up his mind. So for right now, we're going to go back and
then we'll see what the future holds. It's been two months since I had my weight
loss surgery and I started back on solid foods. How are you guys doing today? You guys want to get the event going? Yeah, sure. Let's take a seat and I'll give
you guys a quick to do. Okay. I had a follow up doctor's appointment
in Rhode Island and got my stitches out, and I'm really proud of myself. Because I was down to 573 then, and I can't
remember the last time I weighed this little. I haven't even talked to Dr. Now since I left, but at this point, even
without Dr. Nell's help, I know that I'm losing weight,
doing really good, and I'm working really hard. I run Hobby Haven and I've just been
slowly building up the store and now it's thriving. The store has been wonders for me. It's really helping me with my social
anxiety issues because I do have to interact with people. And when people come in, you
know, they like to talk. So I talk back to them and people bring
their kits, or they buy something from the store and they build them while talking to
people that have the same interests and the same issues with their social anxiety. And I think it helps them. I mean, it helps me. These kids are very simple. They're under 30 pieces. You just snap them together and they should
go together real easy. I've been trying to maintain a healthy life. I've been controlling what I'm eating,
walking places just to try to be healthy. Going that way. So this. You just let it sit there? Yeah. And then you line up the peg. That's on the bottom of that one. Yep. My dad's going back down to Houston
soon to see Steven. And he wants me to go back down there. But I don't want to see Steven again. And now I'm doing better without Stephen,
and I'm glad to finally have him out of my life, because now it's no longer anything
standing in my way. I'm really excited about everything right
now. The last couple of weeks have been good. Really good things happen in life we can't
explain. I guess it just things just happen. I'm still working on getting my life
together and it's just so hard without painkillers, especially since I really don't
have anyone to take care of me. But I've been learning to take care of
myself, and I've gotten pretty good at it. So that means cleaning up after myself and
cleaning up helps me get a little exercise too. So right now I'm just cleaning up a
little and trying to make the place more relaxing and smell a little better, because
I actually met a woman and I have a girlfriend now, and she's coming to pick me
up. Really amazing, right? Her name is Stephanie, and I'm going to be
moving in with her in Iowa with her daughter. So I'm going to be relocating 14 something
hours away and my cat as well. And some things, a few things I want to
bring with me. And I'm I'm just mostly in shock about it
and trying to process what's going to happen in the next few days. But hopefully this is a pivotal moment in my
life and I could start looking to a better future because I think we make a good team. Basically, how it went down is I was doing an
internet video chat where people could see you from a social media page. She was one of the people that were in
there. And then I noticed in The Messenger, she
says, would really like to get to know you. And I noticed that clicked on it. And that's when we began to chat and it just
led on from there. We've only been talking for a couple of
months, and she came down and got a hotel, and she sent a car out to pick me up, and I
went there, and the rest is history. Started a new chapter and move in is
definitely a big change for me because I've never been in a steady, serious relationship
with a real girl in person, especially a woman that has a child. Her daughter is 13 and she's looking forward
to my arrival to Iowa, but I've never met her yet. Me giving parental guidance to a
teenager is new to me, but I'm going to just go with the flow. I don't want to overthink
it too much, but I'm definitely still trying to lose weight. And I would love to have
skin surgery if I lost enough weight. And Stephanie wants to help me. She really, really does. She does not believe in frozen food. She believes in home cooked meals and only
home cooked meals. So I feel extremely blessed that I have
found a woman that wants to help me with all of my goals. It's going to be a positive
side effect. It's also going to help me lose weight
quicker, because I'm not going to be so focused on food. I'm going to be focused on
sex. I feel like the light at the end of the
tunnel has finally shine on me brighter now. Ever since I got a girlfriend. My dad and bro are both jealous. They started calling her things like a
prostitute, a porn star and things like that because she's so beautiful, I guess. And so they think she has to be a porn star
to be with me. But she's not. She's a total opposite. She's a massage therapist. They're just saying all those things because
they're jealous and they can either accept it or not accept it. I really don't care
because my relationship with them is not so good. I talk to my dad occasionally, but I
don't talk to my bro because we just don't understand each other. He will never understand me. We are two different people. But I've definitely spoken to them and
defended that she is not what they say she is. She's not, you know, porn stars take
your money, they don't give you money and gifts, and they don't buy a beautiful house
in Iowa and move you in and want to take care of you. Porn star prostitutes don't do that. I definitely want to keep in contact with
Dr. Nazar and via webcam or something like that. And when he feels I'm ready to come back for
skin surgery, then yeah, I still want him to be my surgeon, and I want to show them I'm
still committed and that I met somebody. And I think it would be shocked at the
girlfriend part, especially if he finds out what she looks like. Jeez, no one believes
me. But the scale says it all and the scale
doesn't lie. So I'm sticking to the diet no matter what,
and I'm already working to lose more weight. So that's what I'm going to try to do,
because I feel like I have this second chance to have a future ahead of me and the life I
want with my girlfriend and her child. And I'm not letting this one slip through my
hands no matter what. Even if you want to get married to Stephanie. Yes. And you want to get married to Steven? Yes. Okay. Even get a ring for Stephanie. All right. Take your ring. Place it on the third finger of your left
hand and repeat after me. With this ring. With this ring, I thee wed. I feel very good. And, Stephanie, do you ever remember seeing
him take your ring and place it on the third finger of his left hand? And repeat after me. With this ring, I thee wed. Very good. So, pursuant to the express
desires of the parties, and by virtue of the authority vested in me as a judge of the
district court of the state of Iowa, I now pronounce the two of you married. Stephen, you may kiss the bride. Wow. I've been back in Rhode Island for about four
months, and I feel like I've been losing a lot of weight. And I've been working hard to
do that. I've been doing doctor now is 1200 calorie
diet. And sticking with that and trying to do as
much exercise as possible. And I really want to keep this momentum
going. Today, me and Tony are going to look at
apartments and start the process of me seeing if I could find a place that I can afford,
and that works for me. I spent the last couple of months learning
everything I needed to be able to take care of myself, and I feel like I'm ready. Hey. How are you doing? Hey. How are you doing? All right. Ronnie fraley. Nice to meet you, Justin. All right, so y'all looking for some
apartments in the Providence area? Correct? Yes. All right, now, I know we didn't get a
chance to speak on the phone. Is there a specific, like, price range or
amount of bedrooms that you're looking for? One bedroom, one bedroom. All right. I could probably show you two
apartments here in Providence. The unit that I can show you right now, it's
actually upstairs. We rent it out ourselves. So if you want, we can just go right now and
take a look at it and then you guys, you can follow me to the other location. It's over near Providence College. So they're both in great areas. Okay. All right. All right. Justin, you go up in front. Take your time. I'm really excited about how
far I've come and the progress I've been making, and I'm running a successful
business now and I can stop providing for myself, so there's no reason I shouldn't be
taking this step. It is a two bedroom, so it's a little bit
more space than you need, but it's a real nice unit. Washer and dryer. It's not like a small stackable. Oh, nice. These front loaders. So you got the bathroom here with a
skylight. This is a. Nice size bathroom, Justin. Oh, yeah. That's nice. I'm doing really good. And I'm working really hard. And I'm going to make sure I stay on track. Yeah, she was out of my life, and I don't
have to worry about him derailing me or doing anything to mess with me. So I think from here on out, I'm just going
to work as hard as I can to stay on track and make the progress I need until I get to my
target weight. Okay, off to the next one. But if I do want to need skin surgery,
because I know that once I lose a little more that the sagging skin is really going to
hurt. And I know I have to address them, but. So I'm not sure what I'm going to do. There's no way I can leave the store on a
daily basis. I have too much to do in there every day. Can't leave it into somebody's hands for
that long. But I guess I'll have to wait and see how it
goes. But I still have a lot of time to think
about it. And I'm an optimist about the future, so I
want to find a way to make it work. Okay, so you're in a fantastic area over
here. They're right next to Providence College. Okay, so you got your private entrance here
in the back. Okay. Whatever it takes. I'll just have to figure it out. That's why I haven't put a lot of pressure
on thinking about the future. Because you don't know what's going to
happen. The little steep. I know it might be a little
difficult, but, you know, it's a quick shot straight up. I'll give an example to do with Steven. I can't believe this. When I left Houston, he started telling my
dad that he met someone online and that he was going to go move in with her. We thought he was just messing with us, but
apparently he really did move there. Who knows? I got the nice big bathroom right here. Take a peek in there. It was a big bathroom. I don't really know much about Steven other
than what my father told me about it. I don't know if it's a solid relationship or
not, and I don't really care to ask. It's really not my place. I have no idea what Steven's plans are. If he wants to come visit. I don't really care what he does, but I just
know that he better not come anywhere near me. And I think it'll be good. Because about 6 or 7 months ago, we put
everything of his in boxes and moved it down to the garage just to get it out of the
house. And now that he's moving on with his life,
my dad said, we're getting rid of all Steven's junk. So I'm looking forward to
that because I really want him out of my life. I'm just trying to focus on myself
right now, and as far as I'm concerned, I don't need Dr. No's help. I'll definitely be in touch with you guys and
let you know if anything else comes up. All right. All right. Great, I appreciate it. Thank you so much. Thank you. Have a great day. You too. All right. Right now I'm getting excited. The more I think about getting out on my own
and being independent. I know I have a lot of hard work ahead of
me, but I'm ready for it. It's been about five months since I talked
to Dr. Now, and the last time I talked to him, he
wanted me to go to my doctor here in Rhode Island to get my weight checked. But because of the store and how much I work
and plus I didn't want to go back down to Houston. And since Stephen has been gone. But now that he no longer lives in Houston,
I'm willing to go back down there because I don't have to worry about being in the same
city as Stephen anymore. So I'm headed into the doctor's appointment
to get my weight checked. My doctor now asked me to do because I want
to be able to get back on this program. I feel like my skin is starting to sag, and
eventually I'm going to want skin surgery. And the only way I can do that is if I'm
doing Dr. Nel's program. But I have no idea if he'll
even let me get back on it. I'm not sure what away right now because I
don't have a scale, but I feel like I've lost a lot of weight just judging by my clothes
size. And I hope the scale shows I weigh low
fours, because that'll show, doctor, now that I'm still very serious about all this. Dr. knows. Out and calls on the appointment for. Me. Okay. Your name? Justin Asante. Okay, great. I'm going to take you right in. All righty. Seven months ago, when I got the weight loss
surgery, I got down to about £600. And doctor now told me I should be losing 20
to £30 a month. So that means I probably need to be into the
lower four hundreds. This is Justin. Awesome. Thank you. I'm going to get a weight on you. Okay? All righty. All right. I'm just going to turn this on. Fire it up here. I'll just give it a minute here. All right, Justin. Looks like £432 today. All right, I'll have you come with me into
the exam room. We'll get some vitals off you. It's not as much as the way it was supposed
to lose to get to the goal he gave me, but that amount of weight loss is good enough
for me. I feel very good right now. Okay. I got to call doctor now to tell him
my weight. Call him if you have to call him. Hello, dark darknell. Hi, Justin. How are you today? I'm good today. So, what's going on? Did you have your weight
check and you go to clinic? Yes I. Did. So what is your weight doing? My weight is. 432 right now. Okay. So far, you lost £30 from your highest
weight, huh? Yes. Okay. That's good. But if you stay in Texas right
now, you'll be in 300. So even though you lost £230 when you stay
in a program that we have concept evaluation and keep you on track, you are able to lose
more weight. Okay. Yep. And your goal weight is around
200. So we get 200 more to go to get you to your
goal weight, because you will have £2,030 of extra skin that needs to come out. So this is all important that you stay with
your diet and continue losing 20 to £30 unit now. And that's going to be very important. Yep. Okay. Yep. All right. So are you taking your vitamins and sticking
with your eating habit okay. Yes. Okay. So Justin, what is your goal in your life? What do you want to see happen? Right now, I just want to lose more weight. I just want to get down to about 230 and
just continue what I'm doing every day. And you think getting bad skin removal
surgery in the future? Yes, in the future. So you lose another £100 in skin surgery will
be a good option for you. Okay. And don't forget, exercise is going to
be very important for you. So you need to do that periodic blood test
to make sure the chemistry and blood count is okay. All right. Okay. Yep. Justin, you're doing good with
your diet and you are making good progress. So I think I see a better future for you
than Steven, because Stephen will continue to follow the path of getting pain medication
and not being compliant. And even though he lost some weight, he
still got a long way to go to get to the point that the surgery is going to be
possible for him. So your progress is much more significant
than Steven. Yep. Okay, so he's planning to get your life
back in order and be more active and do more stuff. Yes. What I want to accomplish when I get to my
goal way is I always want to keep growing the business and make it more popular. And of course, you know, do more stuff, more
physical activities. Okay, that's going to be good. How was your dad doing? I'm doing very well, thank you. How are you doing? All right. Yeah. So far. Still any problem? No, not at all. And will adjust in behaving better than
Stephen. Well, I'll tell you right now, since Stephen
got married, his attitude really changed a lot. And that's a good start for him. But is he off of the pain medicine? He. As far as I know of, he's not doing it no
more because she won't allow it and she's down to like £400 now. Well that's good. He needs somebody to shake
his life and make him a better person. Huh? Yep. No. Since he got married, he's doing very
well. Good. That's good. Okay. And just in behavior, too. Yeah, he's all right. He gets on my nerves every now and then. Still, he can't eat that much because he
still pukes it up if he tries to overdo it. And I laugh at him, you know what I mean? Why are you laughing at him? Because when he was younger, until he was 20
something years old, before you did the operation, he says, I never get sick. And now that he gets sick, I laugh about it. All right, you know. Okay. All right. Justin, if you ever decided to
have a skin surgery and you want to come down, you're going to have to stay till you
completely well before you go back. So this is going to be the deal, okay? Yep. Do you understand that? Right. Yes. Okay, great. So, Justin, you need to
continue with their eating habit and take your vitamins, do your exercise because it's
going to be important. The success rate ten years after surgery is
not very good, because almost everybody goes back to their old habit and their stomach
get bigger, and they can eat more and eat more often and eat more high calorie food. So stick with the program and train yourself
so you never get back to those eating habits, okay? And exercise is going to be very
important part of your well being. So make sure you stick with the program. You have your periodic checkup with your
doctor and make sure everything's okay. All right, all right. Yep. All right, Justin, I'm proud of your
progress. I'm glad you are doing well. Being lucky and leaving town doesn't make it
right. And I'm glad you were lucky and nothing bad
happened to you. And overall, I'm glad you're doing well and
proud of your progress. Continue with your progress and we'll have
this visit periodically. And make sure you get your checkup routinely
and stick with the program and do your daily exercises. And we have a plan. If you lose £100, we can consider it. Skin surgery. Okay. All right. I like to thank your doctor now for what
you've done and you know everything. Accepting me back into the program. So thank you. Oh you're welcome Justin. We want best for you and want you to have a
successful outcome. And this is going to be something that is
going to help you in the long run. You have a long life. Live in front of you. So the health and well-being is going to be
the main thing that you need to pay attention. Okay. Yep. And Justin, you take care and I'll be
talking to you again. Okay. All right. All right. You take care. You too, doctor. Now take care. Okay. Bye bye. Thank you ladies. Thank you ladies. You have a good night, guys. You too. Good luck. Chelsea. You want some? He called the doctor, I think went well. The doctor told me he wanted me to lose £100
within the year so I can get skin surgery. I can try to reach that goal. And if I don't get scared and move, it's not
a problem. But I do want to at least try. I'm still losing weight, but I still have a
ways to go. I really want to keep this momentum going,
but I'm running a successful business now and I can start providing for myself. And that really needs my attention. I know I'll lose a lot more weight. But right now I need to focus on other
things. Hello. Hello. How are you. Steven? How are you doing? All right. How are you doing? I'm doing well. So it's been about two years since I'm
looking at your chart. Since I saw you last. I saw you have five, £550. So how are you doing? I'm all right. I've regained a bit. I'm about in that area still. So. So what did you weight now? About what you said. It's about like 518, but it might have
climbed. But yeah, it's around that area 518. So when was the last time you checked that? About. Three months ago. Maybe two months ago. So you probably gained since then. So you haven't any issues with the medical
condition, shortness of breath or pain or swelling in the leg? Infection or anything. Swelling in the leg? Um, I've dealt with for a while, and the
lumps seem to be healing, so I don't really feel them really anymore. So. So are you getting up and walking? How is your walking activity? Well, I live here, a townhome type place, and
it's like two levels, so I have to climb up and down stairs. So. Okay. For, you know, I have to go upstairs and
downstairs. So are you. Able to walk okay. Okay. Yeah. I don't do it often though. I don't go out any. Um, honestly, sometimes I do. I like to shop for, like, collectibles and a
little bit more active than I was when I used to live in Texas. As far as going out. Okay, well, how's your health been? Can I see what your leg look like? Uh, yes. Okay. That's what you can do. This is my left leg. Just move it more on the side. That's the left leg and the right leg. Walk over there so you can see it from that
angle too. This is the right one. No, no. It looks like lymphedema got much worse in
her right leg. Yeah. It did. It did? Yeah. How is your stomach doing? My stomach is really annoying and long. And just sitting on top of my legs and
hurting me all the time. The upper part or lower part of the stomach. The extra skin is hanging. Yeah, it's like right here. Like right here. I write here like. Well, that's still a lot of fat in there. There's not a whole extra skin because you
actually look to be closer to 7 to £800. So what are be doing with your eating habit? How are you getting along with that? Mostly not good. So how many times are you eating? What are you snacking on and what are you
eating? Eating what I normally eat before. Basically my favorite pizza. Picture? Yeah. How many times we eat pizza in a day? Like five times a day. Maybe for 4 or 5 times pizza a day. Yeah. So you're going back to your old
eating habits. So how much you can eat before you get full? Oh, boy. Well, to be honest with you, I can eat,
like, an hour or two hours later all day. Do you eat every two hours? Sometimes an hour. I'll have, like a bowl of cereal, but like
two hours later or pizza. I mean, it all depends on if it's all in my
mind, though I know that. So you can eat a whole lot at one time,
right? Can I eat a whole lot at one time? No. Okay, so the way that surgery may not be
completely done yet, but it's possible you stretch your stomach back out so you're back
to the same eating habits you had before. Everything. Yeah. What are you doing with the pain medicine? I have not been on any pain medicine in a
long time. A long while ago, so. Well, if that's true, that's positive, but
I'm not sure about that. Okay. I heard you made a. Yeah. Okay. And so that was a positive thing for you. Actually, it really was. She's a very, very, very, very, very good
person. She really is. And she only tries to help
me. I just don't listen. I never listen and I don't need to change. And if I don't change, then she'll get a
divorce. She'll divorce me in a heartbeat, basically. You know, every marriage has ups and downs. Sometimes more downs than ups. Up and down, up and down, you know. So it's ups because of you or downs or
because of you? No, it's because of me. Because I always caused the arguments and
everything. And I, you know, manipulative behavior that
causes the arguments and stuff. So the thing is not going as well as it
should, huh? No, because I'm the cause of it all the time. And I kind of heat things up here a lot with
my mouth and manipulation and stuff. I mean, we fight a lot, but I don't want to
get a divorce. I don't. So if you're asking me, then. No, I don't want a divorce. But how about asking your wife? What does she say? Well, she says that she does, but I don't
know. I don't know, I mean, I don't. So if you had divorced, you come back to
Houston. I'm coming back anyway. I'd like to come back for a while to fix
everything so I can give everyone here a break. If she can respect that. But if she wants a divorce, then. Then there's not really I can do. Well, you have to treat people with respect
if you want that to change. Streaming. Yeah, I know I do. I'll try. I do want to throw in the fact
that my wife does make me very good meals. It's just that I choose not to eat them and
call my dad and get takeout delivery instead. So yeah. So instead of eating a healthy meal, you just
getting your pizza. And that's causing the problem? Yes. What are you going to do about that? I'd like to fix everything and that I need to
do to better myself and get at a point where I need to be. You know, this is obviously
not where I need to be, you know, weight wise and stuff. So it just needs to be fixed
before I hit 40 or 41, whatever. 40. Yeah, and I'd like to come back to
Houston and, uh, for a while and and get some help with my edema and my
weight and legs. That's what I said. Yeah. Well, do you want to come back to our care? Is that what you're saying? What? No. You're getting divorced. Is it correct? Is it? If things don't change, then
absolutely, she said. So yeah, so we fight a lot on and off. But like I said, I'm mainly the I'm the
cause of it. She doesn't. I'm the one that starts
everything. I mean you know I've started stuff with
nurses obviously before I make everybody angry. So that's just Steven's way, right. Manipulative behaviour, you know. So. And Steven you never change I know. You should just want to eat and get pain
medicine above all else. Yeah, still wanting pain meds, but she won't
let me get them. Still still still still still. So yeah. And you never wear a shirt, right? Oh no I don't no, I don't wear a shirt a lot. All right. Seven but if you plan to come back
here, I only explained that to you at this point is up to you to start turning things
around and losing weight. Eating can do that. I can certainly try. Yes. Yeah. Is that your dad is still calling that pizza
for you? Yeah, sometimes he is. Yeah. Most of the time. So things haven't changed with that, huh? And as far as my brother, I haven't heard
from him at all. Like. At all. So I don't know how he's doing at all. He won't even tell me if I did, but I
haven't talked to him at all. So you don't talk to him either, huh? Not once, not once. Not since I've been to Texas, to be honest
with you. Whenever we talked in Texas was the last
time I actually seen and talked to him. So. All right. Well, I'm sorry to hear that, but
start to change your eating habits, okay? And but there's not much more we can do for
you if you're not taking responsibility for your life and willing to change. But if you have any medical emergencies and
give me a call. Okay, I. Will. It's great seeing you and talking to
you again, doctor. Now, it's been a while. All right. Well, I hope you will get on track. And I wish you both the best. All right. Okay. Bye. Bye bye. It's unfortunate to see that Stephen has
basically undone all the progress he made down here, and that his health has not only
inadequate, but he has started going back in the wrong direction again. My hope was he would continue making
progress and surprise me by turning his life around, and that maybe the new start would
help motivate him to do that. But unfortunately, that doesn't appear to be
the case because he looks to have gained most, if not all, his weight back. So he wants to potentially come back to
Houston and do the program again. But at this point, we have given Stephen
every chance and opportunity to do what he needed. So there is nothing more we can do
for him that we haven't already done. And I would also take resources from someone
who may want to turn their life around, because I don't believe Stephen does. So I truly wish him and his brother Justin
the best. But at this point, we have done all we can
for the Ashanti brothers.
