Sacha Whitehead (2x1)

Air date: Apr 07, 2007

Sacha Whitehead is 32-years old and weighs over 30 stone. She is super morbidly obese and addicted to food. Sacha lives with her nine-year old son, Lewis, who is also overweight. Her weight is ruining her life - she is so ashamed of her size, she refuses to get out of the car when she picks up Lewis from school - fearing he will get bullied as a result. Her decision to undergo surgery was prompted by the realization that she would only survive a maximum of five years without any surgery. She is petrified of dying on the operating table and leaving her son alone.
