About the Series My 600 Pound Life
My 600-lb Life, airing on TLC since 2012, follows the journey of individuals weighing at least 600 pounds as they strive to achieve a healthier weight over a year. The show also features “Where Are They Now?” episodes checking on past patients after a year or more post their initial appearance.
The patients receive treatment from Dr. Younan Nowzaradan in Houston, known as “Dr. Now.” He starts them on a strict diet and may offer surgical options like gastric bypass based on progress.
