Gastric Bypass Comedian: The Jessica Fischer Story Reviewed
Funny, poignant, painful and joyous That's the Jessica Fischer's story as presented on the DVD "What's So Funny? A transformation of epic proportions." Jessica was a successful stand up comic who at the young age of 23 looked obesity square in the face and laughed on stage in New York City. She captured audiences with her self-deprecating fat humor.
Then she underwent gastric bypass surgery, lost half of her body weight and suddenly she wasn't so funny. It turns out former fatty just isn't as funny as the 300 pound girl making fun of her own obese self. Jessica found herself reinventing her act and herself, while at the same time trying to hold on to who she was before surgery. Can't we all relate to that?
The film not only features Jessica, but also her support network: parents, brother, sister, friends, and even surgeon Dr. Shaw. Jessica's sister is course and skeptical, openly criticizing the "easy way out". She says, "You're 23! What are you doing? Get off you ass and do something walk around the block." But her sister later concedes how hard Jessica worked for her weight loss and that WLS was, in fact, the only option for her. "It was not an easy fix," she states, "she needed the help. I don't think she knew how to get out of her own way."
Dr. Shaw calls Jessie a model patient. He said what weight loss surgery does is open a window to make it possible to change a lifetime of eating behaviors and misconceptions. He said the physical changes from gastric bypass are predictable, "What is more profound than the physical change is the psychological and social changes. Weight loss surgery corrects a medical problem that comes with a lot of social and psychological baggage."
The best part of this film is that it is real. Weight loss surgery is tough and the road is bumpy and twisted and challenging. It's tough being fat and it's tough losing weight. Not just for the comedienne on stage - but for every person brave enough to "take the easy way out." A definite must-see film for the LivingAfterWLS audience and the people they love.
"WHAT'S SO FUNNY?" follows Jessica's journey after her surgery. Not only does she lose the weight, but also her drive and ability to perform comedy, which she perceived as her "ticket" into the world of entertainment. While her physical transformation is remarkable, it is the emotional turmoil she experiences afterwards, which is truly life changing and proves to be more than she bargained for.
