hello everyone hope you're having the most wonderful day today welcome to film insight
in today's video we're going to discuss my 600 pound life patients worst so sit back relax and
without further ado let's get right into the content guys robert butchell some patients try
their best while others are bent on ignoring every word that comes from the doctor's mouth
in this list unfortunately both lead to the same results an unhealthy deterioration
here are some of my 600 pound patients worst in this episode it was clear that this new jersey
resident butchel required urgent medical attention from the very beginning and Dr now intervened when
butchel checked in with Dr Now he weighed just about 850 pounds but that wasn't the only issue
there was also his addiction to painkillers butcher just couldn't stop eating after a few
weeks into the program though he was starting to overcome his compulsive desire to eat
his fiance catherine was right by his side and butchel seemed to be determined to put in the work
and follow Dr Now's program to the letter unfortunately after losing almost 350 pounds and
going under the knife to remove a lymphedema mass butcher was hit hard by a nasty wave of depression
his urge for painkillers waxed stronger than ever to the point that he started to tear the
sticker he got from his weight reduction surgery just so he could get more painkillers wild right
before the episode ended robert butchell passed away following a heart attack in november 2017.
butcher left doctor now in such pain and anguish the doctor ranted about the incompetence of the
medical system on this occasion they had done absolutely nothing about butcher's addiction
yes butchel was fighting hard but to see him die like that definitely one of the worst
my 600 pound episodes of all time the asante brothers it's hard when you go through it alone
but with a brother one might expect that this episode would have a much better ending
stephen and justin came into this episode with a bond as tight as hercules knot but soon stephen
began to tug at the ropes he was not following Dr Now's diet despite claiming to stephen did not
just eat a bit he ate so much during the show that he clearly began to gain weight stephen also had a
habit of manipulating and bullying everyone around him to get him whatever he wanted whenever he
wanted it and just like butcher stephen also had an addiction to painkillers going to the extent
of stealing justin's painkillers after his gastric bypass stephen's misconduct caused justin to quit
the programme but even Dr Now was exhausted though he desperately wanted to help justin there was
nothing he could do to convince him to stay the funny thing is stephen is happily married now but
still searching for ways to improve his health and fitness bethany stout right at the very beginning
of her episode bethany came out plain that she couldn't quite stop eating food was a happy place
and if she was handed a choice between sleep and food she would choose food over sleep i'm
team sleep bethany could hardly get up from her room her husband sheldon as well as her daughter
isabella committed themselves to bringing her food throughout the day the first week of her weight
loss journey saw her claim she was sticking to the doctor's diet but she was barely losing any weight
how everyone wondered but eventually bethany began to get serious with her weight loss program
in the eighth month she had dropped more than a hundred pounds she had a successful gastric
sleeve operation and this helped her get below the 500 pound mark all good right yes until bethany
started to gain weight all over again she got so frustrated that she lost hope in dr nao's program
and ended up quitting bethenny maintains she will find a way to lose weight herself
would have been great to stick with the program but we wish her good health nonetheless
angela johns speaking of frustration it's always an infuriating experience trying to help someone
but having them dismiss your efforts this was exactly the case between angela johns and Dr Now
checking in at 643 pounds angela hardly ever listened to Dr Now through the episode
she didn't do most of the work that he asked for and was occasionally caught on camera taking the
brunt out on her family while doctor now tried to ascribe most of her reaction to her past
unhealed trauma it did not justify the way it made her children feel angela is a sexual abuse
survivor she was raised by an abusive parent with substance issues as a teenager she was also forced
to give away a baby she was starting to love but never wanted to have phew that's a lot and
with all of these swimming through her mind and psyche there was only so much doctor now could do
in the end angela johns only managed to lose about 50 pounds unfortunately she was starting to become
like her own parent proved when her toxicology reports came out and revealed that she tested
positive for narcotics angela refused to go to rehab and expressly dismiss Dr Now's program
sean milliken a support system is very important for anyone that's trying to get back in shape
and lucky for sean milliken he had his mother by his side initially weighing about 900 pounds and
almost completely immobile milliken put in the work to get back in shape and was finally able
to move around and get his weight loss surgery in follow-up episodes we see that milliken had
a strong desire to keep putting in the work milliken's mother dies of renal failure the
loss pushed milliken over the edge it only took milliken a year later before he passed on himself
though still fighting in february 2019 milliken caught himself struggling to escape the clutches
of a brutal infection he passed away at 29 james l b bonner season six of my 600 pound life
saw james l b bonner come under the lights of dr nao's program in this episode it quickly becomes
clear that bonner wasn't just dealing with food addiction he was also dealing with an addiction
to alcohol sadly bonner lost a foot in a crash and that made it sincerely challenging for him to take
care of himself the seasoned favorite eventually chooses to make the best decision of his life
called dr now looks like one of the most determined guys we've seen so far because this
guy lost about 325 pounds on the show and strictly maintained dr now's suggested diet and exercise
regimen james had become the james bond of weight loss the model episode for everyone trying
how beautiful but in 2018 after seeing so much success bonner put a gun to his head and
blew his brains out whoa even i didn't see that coming but what could have been his motivation
why would he do that after seeing so much improvement the answer remains to be known
he was only a year older than milliken when he passed away penny seeger while james was ready to
put in the work some of these show stars are just not willing to make the changes that they hope for
one of these is penny seeger perhaps penny was thinking it was easier than it was
because when she appeared on the show in season two she was able to lose about 40 pounds
progress right however after sega's gastric bypass seeger gained five pounds at this point we had all
started to ask where are the extra pounds coming from whatever program doctor now was proposing
seeger was definitely not buying it and though dr now tried everything in his power to make
her stick with the program sega was done she moved back to maryland from houston and quit the program
on some occasions dr now holds back but in this particular case he clearly points out to her that
it was only a matter of time before her addiction kills her if you ask me that's tough kelly mason
the moment you hear about some patient's medical condition you're just likely to assume that they
won't make it so far such was the case of kelly mason when she met with doctor now
it was revealed that kelly wasn't just trying to lose weight she was also contending with a long
list of other health issues that included high blood pressure arthritis type 2 diabetes thyroid
and heart problems and a blood clot in her leg tough but mason like james began to defy the odds
losing 200 pounds over the course of her program and proceeding to have a weight loss surgery that
helped her go down by yet another 100 pounds mason stuck with her diet and exercise but despite all
these efforts a heart decided it was time for her to go mason passed away in her sleep after that
heart attack in february 2019. we hate to see a fighter try everything and not make it through
james king how do you gain close to 40 pounds on a weight loss show we were all left to wonder
when 49 year old james king appeared on my 600 pound life king initially weighed 800 pounds and
compounded with his severe case of cellulitis and an extremely painful skin infection he was unable
to leave his bed his family did the most to see him succeed with his weight loss program king's
father refinanced his home so he could get down to houston while his daughter dropped out of school
to take care of him unfortunately despite the huge input from family king was unwilling to follow Dr
Now's suggested diet and exercise regimen to the point the doctor now kindly asked him to leave to
make matters worse king's girlfriend was bringing him food in the hospital despite the fact that his
organs were failing king's death though sad seemed inevitable he eventually passed away in april 2020
