What Is My 600lb Life About?

Telling powerful stories in hourlong episodes, TLC follows the medical journeys of morbidly obese people as they attempt to save their own lives. The featured individuals - each weighing more than 600 pounds (42 stones - confront lifelong emotional and physical struggles as they make the courageous decision to undergo high-risk gastric bypass surgery. In addition to drastically changing their appearances, they hope to reclaim their independence, mend relationships with friends and family, and renew their feelings of self-worth.

TLC’s hit series MY 600-LB LIFE returns for a new season on Wednesday, March 6 at 8pm ET/PT, documenting seven all-new journeys of morbidly obese patients as they strive to lose weight in an effort to reclaim – and save – their lives. Each two-hour episode follows a different subject as they navigate the emotional ups and downs of their extreme weight loss journey with the help of Dr. Younan Nowzaradan – aka “Dr. Now.” Each patient must undergo major diet and lifestyle changes including potential high-risk gastric bypass surgery, in order to achieve lasting and life-saving results.

Stories this season include a paralyzed man desperate to find a way to stand, a bride-to-be fighting to finally walk down the aisle and a recovering drug addict whose life is now dominated by a new addiction: compulsive eating.

Catch up with some of Dr. Now’s patients from seasons past when an all-new season of MY 600-LB LIFE: WHERE ARE THEY NOW? premieres on Wednesday, April 24 at 8pm ET/PT. Six new episodes check in to see how each are faring on their weight-loss journeys.
