hello everyone hope you're having the most wonderful day today welcome to film insight for
today's video we're going to be discussing some of the worst patients to be featured on my 600 pound
life so sit back relax and without further ado let's get right into the content guys 1. schnee
murray when schnee murray first appeared on my 600 pound life she was traumatized from suffering two
miscarriages having gone through sexual abuse her cousin also contributed to her indulgence in food
to get comfort still chances were high that the situation could have been salvaged and
she approached dr now to seek assistance and get her weight and life under control however nothing
could stop her from overeating while she claimed to have gained water weight doctor now disagreed
as a result murray didn't get clearance to undergo weight loss surgery she continued
consuming non-approved foods and could not manage her emotional matters she later left Dr Now's
program and created a gofundme to finance her weight loss surgery later on she recorded a video
of herself participating in an eating challenge from the hospital bed since 2020 murray has not
been active on social media with some unverified sources claiming that she could be pregnant
melissa morris melissa morris was the inaugural patient in the 600 pound show in 2012. according
to the cinema holic melissa who hails from texas weighed 653 pounds when first she went to see
doctor now chris her husband always obliged her requests which led to binge eating and leading
a sedentary lifestyle walking and performing typical day-to-day activities became a problem
and her hopes of getting kids started dwindling melissa adjusted to Dr Now's strict diet well
and she was one of the most inspirational patients she later underwent her gastric bypass surgery
continued eating well exercising and losing excess weight she would later get skin removal surgery
successfully years later melissa shed a whopping 447 pounds she now has an excellent job working
with doctor now however she is divorced from chris melissa speaks openly about her journey to weight
loss to help others complete their own she has also been sponsoring weight watchers for years
hers has not been an easy journey but she beat every challenge and is focused on staying healthy
and being the great mother her three kids need 3. angela gutierrez when angela first made her
debut on my 600-pound life viewers could see she was pretty traumatized apart from losing custody
of her kids due to child endangerment she had attempted suicide to relieve everything angela
took to food when she finally went to doctor now she weighed 608 pounds even though she had
previously undergone weight loss surgery however angela could not comply with Dr Now's weight loss
demands she missed numerous appointments before finally dropping out of the programming altogether
while angela is active on her facebook page it's not clear whether she has lost weight
since leaving Dr Now's program 4. pauline potter season 3. before appearing on my 600-pound life
pauline potto was already pretty infamous that's because she had herself certified
as the world's heaviest woman in the 2011 guinness book of world records she also appeared on Dr phil
and had made tabloid headlines after saying that she lost weight by having sex up to seven times
a day with her ex-husband according to sarcasm by the time potter got to dr nao's office she weighed
678 pounds and her health was really beginning to suffer because of it but she was resistant even
telling doctor now that he was overreacting when he wanted her hospitalized to get her
weight under control potter continued to be obstinate even after she had weight loss surgery
repeatedly butting heads with doctor now much to the eye of viewers fortunately she did eventually
get herself together and in her follow-up episodes managed to lose 300 pounds with skin surgery being
on the horizon she also regularly updates her facebook page where she's looking slimmer and
slimmer all the time so while potter might have been a handful to begin with it looks like she's
turned it all around 5. james king season five some patients on my 600 pound life are so far gone
that they're almost completely immobile unable to care for themselves and confined to their
beds because of their weight that was the case for james king who weighed in at 791 pounds
at the beginning of his episode as he used food to cope with his childhood trauma but it's hard
to have too much sympathy for king as throughout the episode it's shown that he behaved selfishly
for one he had his daughter drop out of school so she could take care of him which is awful
what's worse his father who suffered from a stroke took out a second mortgage to finance his journey
to houston but he still refused to change king was continually enabled by his girlfriend lisa who
couldn't stop bringing him food it was so bad the doctor now had to call adult protective services
when he found out that she was bringing him food while he was in the hospital even though king
had multiple organs failing on him she did it anyway he eventually had a gofundme page set up
but it's no longer active 6. lisa fleming season 6. one of the most awful things to ever be shown
in my 600 pound life history was the moment when lisa fleming's daughter discovered maggots living
in the folds of her mother's skin with a wake-up call this drastic you'd think that fleming would
stick to the diet the doctor now had prescribed her especially since she weighed over 700 pounds
to make matters even worse she needed an entire paramedic team to get her out of her own home
which must have been embarrassing although fleming did shed some pounds while under supervision she
gained a lot of the weight back once she returned home as the show went on fleming's
manipulative tactics became apparent and were arguably some of the worst in the show's history
by the end of her episode dr nao who was clearly frustrated with fleming's unwillingness to change
had dismissed her from his program not a year after fleming appeared on my 600 pound life she
tragically passed away at her home at age 50 which is quite heartbreaking 7. lee sutton season 6.
occasionally family members or romantic partners who weigh 600 pounds or more appear together
on my 600 pound life which was the case for lee sutton and reina kaiser the couple who met
and fell in love at a bariatric rehabilitation facility were eating themselves into dangerous
situations when their episode began although they were both able to eventually lose weight and get
weight loss surgery it quickly became evident that sutton had terrible anger management issues
this unfortunately resulted in him being abusive to his partner both verbally and physically
it got so bad the doctor now sent him to a therapist so he could control himself better
but sutton was still being cruel to kaiser in their follow-up episode no matter how hard
kaiser tried to be kind and to de-escalate his behavior when his temper flared up the story of
sutton's awful behavior continued after their episodes concluded according to an article in
sarcasm sutton reportedly cheated on kaiser with a married woman and kaiser ended the relationship
according to a now deleted social media post but it appears as though she took him back in the end
8. mercedes cephas season 7. of all of the stars of my 600 pound life mercedes cefa story is among
the most heartbreaking when she was only 11 years old her father began sexually abusing her which
caused her to have feelings of shame guilt and sadness by the time she was 15 years old she was
up 300 pounds and was using food to help her cope with the trauma of her assaults obviously this had
a huge impact on her life but when confronted about her eating habits by doctor now cephas
insisted that she wasn't overeating she said she just wasn't eating the right foods even at 773
pounds and when she finally did move to houston months later she had only dropped just under 50
pounds subsequently she gained weight proving that she was not following dr nao's program
and by the end of her episode after she had only lost around 80 pounds altogether dr now was
adamant that she'd be admitted into the hospital giving her three days to decide well that'll be
