Baylen Dupree Offered Scary Brain Surgery To Help With Tics
For several years, Baylen Dupree has documented the harsh reality of living with Tourette syndrome. She is trying to raise awareness for the neurological disorder but it is not easy. Many believe she is faking her disorder and that she exaggerates her tics. Yet, those who have followed her social media journey know that she has done all she can to try to make her life manageable. She takes medications and is actively working on her independence. Now with Baylen Out Loud, she has a new forum to share her story.
On the show, Baylen just moved in with her longtime boyfriend (now fiance), Colin Dooley. Her family was nervous about this as taking care of Baylen can be extremely difficult. However, he has reassured them that he will do whatever she needs and he is sticking to that. Of course, he is not perfect and he still makes mistakes but it is Baylen that is the main concern. Now, she has been offered a surgery that could help with her tics but it is also terrifying.

According to People, Baylen Dupree will be offered this in the Monday, March 3rd episode of her hit TLC reality series. Along with her parents, Allen and Julie, they head to the doctor. There, a procedure called deep brain stimulation is brought up to deal with her tics. Essentially, the surgery will happen in two parts where a device is implanted, sending electric signals to the brain therefore minimizing her tics. Julie loves the idea that this could improve Baylen’s quality of life but the patient is completely against it:
“Oh hell no.”
The Details Of The Surgery
Although it could change Baylen Dupree’s life, the details of the surgery are far too much for her:
“They would shave your head, you’d be in a frame literally bolted to your skull to keep your head stable. And then they make an incision, they pull the skin back, they drill a hole and then they stick it down in your brain.”
That is just the first part of the surgery. When it comes to part two, it becomes even more invasive and that is when Baylen puts her foot down. After fans saw this clip, did they think her reaction was warranted? They believed something else needed to be discovered because this was too much:
- We have to pray hard and continuously to find some other less invasive solution for this girl she is adorable such a bubbly personality just love her❤️
- Why not try something less evasive, but still studied to be a great alternative? 💨💨🌬️
- It’s her decision sounds scary but I wish Baylen all the best we will see tonight on the show
Others noted that it felt like her parents were more for the surgery than Baylen. In the end, it is her decision and she will do what is best for her.
What do you think of this surgery and can you understand why Baylen vehemently rejected it? Let us know and watch Baylen Out Loud Mondays on TLC.
