What happens when your daily choices make it too difficult to even undergo a lifesaving stomach-stapling surgery which you desperately need?
The Big Ward follows six patients as they embark on a journey to beat their out-of-control obesity once and for all, in the effort of improving their health, and ultimately saving their lives.
These men and women will be reflecting on their lifestyle choices that went wrong to make a decision that could save their lives. For them, weight loss surgery is their last chance at leading a better and healthy lifestyle.
Taking the first step at eating healthy and a walk in the morning will increase their hopes and chances of qualifying for a life changing surgery, but will they have the strength and courage to change their habits for good in order to reach their goal weight to get the surgery they need?
