TCE DOCKET #LIFE AFTER SLEEVE SURGERY VS. VIRGO

The Cher Experience – Messy Mondays with Agent Judge Reba
Episode Title: Virgo vs. Gluttony

This week, Agent Judge Reba turns her gavel toward a rising trend shaking both the medical and spiritual worlds—gastric sleeve surgery. What was meant to be a lifeline for healthier living has, in some cases, become a loophole for destructive cycles.

Enter Virgo, a woman whose journey with weight loss surgery is complicated by her unwillingness to part with the very habits that led her to the procedure: overindulgence, reckless eating, and heavy drinking. Instead of healing, Virgo finds herself wrestling with gluttony on a new level, exposing how some patients use surgery as a mask rather than a true transformation.

As the courtroom witnesses her testimony, Agent Judge Reba challenges Virgo not only with the law of reason but with the eternal wisdom of scripture:

“Do not join those who drink too much wine or gorge themselves on meat, for drunkards and gluttons become poor, and drowsiness clothes them in rags.” – Proverbs 23:20-21 (NIV)

This episode doesn’t just highlight one woman’s battle—it calls out the cultural tendency to seek quick fixes without facing the root of broken appetites. With sharp judgment and unflinching truth, Reba reminds the audience that the path to freedom is not in the sleeve but in surrender.
