Living in My 600-Lb. Life

In some cases, the lifestyles and family relationships are heartbreaking. In others, there is support and love. There are tears, fears, failures, and successes. Each person shares their story and what lead to their obesity. In some cases, family trauma resulted in weight gain. Personal loss also plays a part with some participants. In some cases, life, in general, has taken its toll. Nevertheless, the show manages to depict each person with dignity and grace. Keep in mind, that each person is at least 600 pounds or more.
Introducing Dr. Nowzaradan
Dr. Nowzaradan performs weight loss surgeries which is his specialty. However, the doctor doesn’t just approve each patient. In fact, everyone who participates in the show is usually given a specific weight loss goal. This goal ensures the health of the client. It also gauges the client’s desire to lose weight. Those who do not take the weight loss goal seriously do not get the surgery. As a result, Dr. Now does not hold any punches. His tone is firm when he states that the surgery will not take place if they do not follow his orders. However, there have been a number of successes.
Dr. Now’s practice is out of Houston, Texas. The professional has served in his capacity for over 20 years. The majority of his patients from My 600-Lb. Life make the trek to see him personally. In fact, some even move to Texas to make it easier on their treatments and travel. It is an arduous journey for some. For others, it is a no brainer. If they want the results, they do what it takes.
