Stephen David and Darryl Silver invite you to watch the world premiere of their new show, BIG MEDICINE which premieres MEMORIAL DAY, Monday, May 28th at 9:00 pm EST/ 8:00 pm CST on TLC. Executive Produced by Stephen David and Darryl Silver, The Idea Factory.
BIG MEDICINE offers a behind-the-scenes look into the controversial world of bariatric surgery. The series chronicles the emotional journeys and transformation of obese people who have opted to undergo weight-loss surgery in an attempt to regain their lives. Patients are captured at various stages in the process – before and during the surgery, through recovery and post-op care and often through cosmetic procedures designed to remove sagging skin after dramatic weight loss.
Often as gripping as the patient stories is the colorful relationship between this father and son team where old school meets new school head on. Dr. Robert Davis, aka "big D," is true to the old ways of medicine and sometimes finds new techniques too flashy or unnecessary, while Dr. Garth Davis, aka "little D," is eager to modernize the business. Despite these differences, the pair unites in the operating room to fight a common enemy and change lives forever.
The 1st season of BIG MEDICINE contains 13 Episodes airing every Monday night at 9:00 PM EST/ 8:00 PM CST on TLC. BIG MEDICINE premieres on Monday May 28th at 9pm EST and will run throughout the summer!

The show has been renewed for a second season which I believe will be airing in January 2008.
