So much wrong with this episode

I enjoy Good Doctor. Not every episode has been great (a lot of strong man hating and feminist messages in a lot of them) but I digress, it has it's good moments. This episode really bothers me.

Here we have a man who used to be like 370 pounds, had gastric bypass and somehow doesn't want his husband to know he was once obese...

For a medical show, that is a terrible storyline. The husband would be well aware that this guy was once that obese, because guess what? He would have a lot of loose skin. Everyone who gets to that point of obesity never gets to have a "normal" looking body again. They get saggy, loose wrinkly skin. Even if he got surgery to remove the excess skin, he would have scarring everywhere. Do the writers have no idea how extreme weight loss works?

Well take it from someone who was once obese and lost a whole bunch of weight, this is not even close to reality.

I am tired of movies and shows making it out like someone who was obese can just walk away unscathed and have a perfect body. A man who was once 370+ pounds would definitely have noticeable signs of that, and their partner would be well aware of it.

For a positive though, I am also on the spectrum and this show definitely represents that aspect extremely well, (FreddIe Highmore is extremely talented) so props for that at least. This episode is just a bad lemon.

Disappointing episode.
