TLC announced today a new medical transformation series, BOTCHED BARIATRICS, featuring patients whose lives have been turned upside down after suffering complications from their bariatric surgery.

Doctors and experts in their fields, bariatric surgeons Dr. Khan, Dr. Hodges, and Dr. Rao along with plastic surgeons Dr. Kundu and Dr. Caplin, take on these botched bariatric patients and see if they can undo the mistakes made during their previous surgeries.
