On the surface Workitu Debebet looks like any other teenage girl. But the 17-year-old has spent her young life hiding an incredible secret — a parasitic twin, including two arms and two legs, fused to her pelvis. Workitu was raised thinking she was normal and reached her late teens without treatment because her poor parents had no way of accessing expert medical care. But Workitu’s life has finally been transformed after a team of expert surgeons performed pioneering surgery to separate her from her unborn conjoined twin. Now, the teenager is going to school and making friends for the first time and is looking forward to having a career, getting married and even having children of her own. A new documentary series reveals the amazing courage of Workitu and her family who tried everything to help her, despite prejudice in her community against people with disabilities. Doctors at CURE Hospital In Addis Ababa were amazed when they saw Workitu, who is thought to be the oldest person still to be living with a visible parasitic twin attached to their body. Dr Eric Gokcen, the hospital’s medical director, said: “It was something I had never seen before. A parasitic twin is actually rarer than conjoined twins. But as a physician, when I look at patients with a problem, my mind starts thinking about what I am going to do to help them.” In an eight-hour surgery, the team carefully removed the outer body but left the extra internal organs because they were working fine. Workitu spent the next three months in hospital but healed perfectly and is now looking forward to her future. Workitu’s story appears in Born With An Extra Body: Body Bizarre at 10pm on TLC UK on Monday November 25th.

Dr. Barnard has led numerous research studies investigating the effects of diet on diabetes, body weight, and chronic pain, including a groundbreaking study of dietary interventions in type 2 diabetes, funded by the National Institutes of Health, that paved the way for viewing type 2 diabetes as a potentially reversible condition for many patients.

Working with the Medical Society of the District of Columbia and the American Medical Association, Dr. Barnard has authored key resolutions, now part of AMA policy, calling for a new focus on prevention and nutrition in federal policies and in medical practice. In 2018, he received the Medical Society of the District of Columbia’s Distinguished Service Award. He has hosted four PBS television programs on nutrition and health.
Originally from Fargo, North Dakota, Dr. Barnard received his MD degree at the George Washington University School of Medicine and completed his residency at the same institution. He practiced at St. Vincent’s Hospital in New York before returning to Washington to found the Physicians Committee.

CHI Health Weight Management Program

“It’s been about 6 weeks and I’m down 37 pounds”, Tara Gustin said from her home as she fixed dinner for her family.
Tara’s weight loss journey started at the Weight Management Center at Alegent Creighton Health Immanuel Medical Center. Before undergoing laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery, she spent some time learning about herself. She knows weight loss isn’t just about the food you put in your mouth it’s also about the control you have over your life. It’s about making good choices.
“My husband Nathan and I get out; we walk now. It’s been such a huge change from before because I couldn’t walk; I was so heavy and so tired. Now it’s exhilarating we get to do that together”, Tara said.
There’s a learning curve when it comes to eating after laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery. Tara ate beef too early and it came back to haunt her. She’s also learning food is not a race.
“I have learned to really slow down eating. One of the hardest things is to eat slowly but there’s negative reinforcement. If you don’t slow down you pay the price for it. You get used to it”, Tara said.
Tara is getting used to having a lot more energy but she admits to tiring easily. She’s learned that’s because she is not taking in the calories she did before but that will only last about 6 months. Tara is still getting used to the fact that food has now taken a back seat to living.
“Food before was something I got excited about. I’m not hungry now. I eat because I have to eat. It’s just not as exciting before – which is fine. It’s good because I had a love affair with food”, Tara said. Video Rating: / 5
