Hello everyone hope you're having the most amazing day today welcome to the Film Insight channel for
today's video we're going to discuss some patients who are featured on my 600 pound life and show you
their insane transformations so sit back relax and without further ado let's get right into the
content guys laura Perez let's be honest almost every patient who appears on my 600 pound life
has a heartbreaking story but this is especially true for laura Perez appearing in the third season
of the show Perez bravely revealed to the world how tragic her childhood really was starting from
the age of five she was abused by one of her older cousins which is why she turned to food for solace
in an interview with the daily mail Perez revealed that i never told my parents anything so the
molestation went on for years my whole life just changed so i turned to food that was my comfort
it must have been incredibly painful to be alone in a situation like that anyway when they first
started filming Perez's episode she weighed 594 pounds which brought about an assortment of issues
not only was she confined to a wheelchair but she was forced to use an oxygen tank to simply
breathe even though she was slightly under 600 pounds as the show's name might suggest doctor
nails ryden expressed that she's physically in one of the worst shapes i've ever seen after
months of putting in hard work perez managed to lose the required way to receive a gastrectomy
shedding 80 percent of her body fat with the help of the procedure she lost an insane 412 pounds
while this is certainly a cause for celebration perez's new figure wasn't exactly appreciated
by everyone as depicted in her where are they now special joey perez's husband had a very hard time
accepting the drastic changes she mentioned that joey and i seem to be fighting more than ever i
want to keep becoming more independent and get a job and have a career i want to go to beauty
school but he got really upset now that i can go out i don't want to just stay home all day
i'm not 600 pounds anymore considering the fact that she didn't see a future with her husband
anymore Perez thankfully decided to end her decade-long relationship with him back in april
of 2018 a man named eric juarez revealed in a now deleted facebook post that Perez left joey for him
regardless of if this is true or not we're glad that she's taking a hold of her life in any way
that she can justin mcswain in the seventh season of the show a patient named justin mcswain visited
dr nao's office in hopes of changing his life for the better weighing a whopping 687 pounds at the
beginning of his episode mcswain was clearly going through a very tough time he expressed that when i
go into the bathroom i do everything i can not to look at myself in the mirror because when i look
in the mirror i see a mistake and someone who's destroyed his life for food by becoming one of the
largest people alive just like every other patient makes wayne would have to lose a considerable
amount of weight to even qualify for a bariatric procedure having the drive of a warrior he pushed
through intense exercise and a strict diet to achieve his goal managing to shed an impressive
92 pounds off of his body this sadly wasn't enough since he had to lose 100 to get the okay for the
surgery noticing that mcswain was dejected by this revelation after all the hard work he put in
doctor now decided to make an exception and green led the operation since he was close to the goal
anyway with the help of the gastrectomy he lost a total of 334 pounds which physically changed him
into a different person however his outwardly appearance wasn't the only thing that shifted
mcswain turned into someone with healthy eating habits which helped him lose even more weight
fast forward to when he was featured on my 600 pound life where are they now he revealed that
he lost close to 60 of his original weight which is amazing additionally since he hoped to remove
the excess skin on his body from losing so much fat he worked tirelessly to get into the low 200s
we didn't have any doubt whatsoever that mcswain would reach his goal but he did get there
eventually and secured himself another surgery nowadays he's doing very well and is somewhat
active on his instagram which is amassed over 30 thousand followers there you can see him doing
things that at one point weren't even possible like wall climbing mountain hiking and more one of
his more impressive posts which was posted back in 2019 really puts on display just how far he's come
many seem to point out that he looks so much younger now that he's lost weight and we have
to agree assuming that you'd like to support mick swain he does offer cameos for a relatively decent
price it's so fantastic to see how far he's come angie j one of the most controversial patients to
appear on my 600 pound life and gj also known as angela mary dunham johns came on the show
weighing 643 pounds jon certainly had a brutal upbringing since she was sexually assaulted by
her parents and struggled with drug addiction on top of being dependent on illicit substances she
would eat an unhealthy amount of food in order to cope after gaining hundreds of pounds jon's
reached out to several doctors for some guidance but none of them managed to improve her situation
as a last-ditch effort to get better jon's reached out to dr nazaratin for his professional help
flying all the way from ohio to texas with her family she wasn't exactly happy when she heard
she'd have to lose weight to qualify for weight loss surgery in order to achieve this goal doctor
now gave her a strict diet plan that she'd have to follow what she said was [ __ ] it's so incredibly
frustrating that jon's was dumb enough to think that you can just lose weight without putting
in any work what's worse she sabotaged her own weight loss by abusing drugs while under the
famous bariatric surgeon's care by the end of her irritating episode johns had only lost 49 pounds
across the span of 8 months so she wasn't approved for the gastrectomy to everyone's surprise though
she actually took her failure to heart and pushed herself to lose the weight required to qualify
for surgery aside from successfully getting the procedure done which is fantastic john's husband
decided to leave her at around the same time which is very unfortunate despite this she continued to
maintain her healthy lifestyle and seems to be doing a lot better nowadays if you take a look
at her instagram you can see the progression of her weight loss which is admittedly impressive
nikki webster not many of dr now's patients were able to leave a long lasting impression like
nikki webster did being 650 pounds when she first appeared on the show webster explained that her
day-to-day life was nightmarish aside from having trouble walking or going downstairs she felt like
she was going through an intense workout whenever she showered due to the fact that she had hundreds
of pounds on her body she suffered from constant pain and frustration webster has been struggling
with this problem since she was a child while she certainly tried dieting in the past the weight
would immediately come back after she stopped once her weight rose into the 600 range she was
unsure if she had much time left before it was too late terrified webster finally decided to
take control of her life and travel all the way to houston to meet with dr nazaratin as usual
the famous bariatric surgeon prescribed her with a strict diet plan and asked her to lose at least
50 pounds to get approved for surgery after a ton of hard work she was able to lose the weight that
was required and got the procedure done shedding 130 pounds off her body her journey certainly
didn't stop there since she continued to focus on her self-improvement long after the episode aired
through tons of exercise and following a healthy diet webster managed to lose an additional 320
pounds which is incredible she also gives a lot of credit to her friends family and therapists
for helping her cope through the hard times aside from reclaiming her life back webster revealed in
a facebook post that i kind of got married he's the absolute best and i couldn't be more happy
honestly this inspirational woman deserves all the happiness in the world christina phillips as our
final entry we're going to discuss a patient named christina phillips who appeared in the second
season of the show out of everyone on this list phillips was the heaviest starting out weighing
in at 708 pounds at the beginning of her episode the 22 year old married woman was incapable of
doing anything on her own and was forced to rely on the help of her mom and husband zach
what's worse she was completely bedridden and hadn't left the house in over two years which
took a massive toll on her mental health ever since she was a child phillips would eat as a
way to cope with the fact that her parents were always fighting eating constantly she gained over
300 pounds by the time she was 12 years old which is absolutely insane realizing that her weight was
going to kill her phillips decided to reach out to doctor now for some help after she lost the
necessary weight to qualify for surgery she shed over 267 pounds by the end of her one year program
following her time on the show she actually decided to divorce her husband since he didn't
like her newfound confidence and independence by the time she was featured on my 600 pound life

pretty well and recently became the mother to a beautiful baby boy named ethan well that will
