TLC’s hit series MY 600-LB LIFE returns for a new season on Saturday, 9 March at 8pm CAT, 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 paralysed 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.
