‘My 600-lb Life’ Preview
For nearly nine years, My 600-Lb Life has chronicled the struggles of morbidly obese people as they “fight to save their own lives by making the courageous decision to undergo high-risk gastric bypass surgery,” according to the TLC press release.
It continues, “Chronicling lifelong hardships with addiction and the inevitable impact their condition has on their closest relationships, each episode gives an inside look at the extreme emotional and physical journeys each person must undergo to qualify for life-saving surgery with Dr. Nowzaradan.”
The TLC site describes it as, “Telling powerful stories in hourlong episodes, TLC follows medical journeys of morbidly obese people as they attempt to save their own lives. The featured individuals — each weighing more than 600 pounds — 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.”
When the show returns for its ninth season, the premiere focuses on Samantha, a woman who weighs nearly 1,000 pounds. The episode description reads, “Samantha is dangerously close to dying; to make matters worse, she’s paid to eat by making videos online; if Samantha doesn’t overcome her toxic relationship with food, she worries she will leave her daughter motherless.”
Then on January 6, episode two is “Thederick’s Story,” which chronicles Thederick, a man who has “become housebound from eating, and for 10 years, he’s only gone outside to greet the ice cream man. After a recent hospital scare, it’s finally clicked that if Dr. Now’s program doesn’t work for him, then nothing will.”
And on January 20, “Carrie’s Story” is about a woman who lost her dad 20 years ago from a botched weight-loss surgery. “Carrie is on the brink of eating herself to death. To live, she must face the fear and grief of losing her father and end a cycle of toxic behavior with her husband Chris,” the description teases.
My 600-Lb Life airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on TLC.
