The popular reality series follows morbidly obese people who weigh at least 600 pounds, and want to take control of their health.
Each two-hour episode follows one patient placed under the care of Houston surgeon Dr. Younan Nowzaradan — aka “Dr. Now.” Participants are placed on a strict diet, given counseling, introduced to lifestyle changes, and some undergo gastric bypass surgery.
Per TLC, the patients featured on the new 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.
The new season of My 600-lb Life premieres March 6 on TLC. Below are details on the seven episodes.
