Tomorrow on TLC, all-new episodes of MY 600-LB LIFE at 8/7c and SKIN TIGHT at 10/9c.
My 600-lb Life:
Tomorrow night at 8/7c, Steven has been unsuccessful on Dr. Nowzaradan's plan over the course of a year. On top of his food addiction, Steven has been abusing the hospital system in Houston in search of pain killers. Dr. Now decides he cannot work with Steven unless he takes proactive steps towards health and mental well-being. With this in mind, Steven attempts a detox program but only lasts a short time before slipping into his old habits. Meanwhile in Rhode Island, Justin has enjoyed having distance from his brother. He's feeling more support from his father who helps Justin open his own hobby store. He's even making some new friends along the way, including a new mother figure. But because Justin is focused on a new career, his diet falls by the wayside. With Steven's addictions spiraling out of control and Justin refusing to change his eating habits, both brothers risk losing the last chance they have to save their lives.
Then at 10/9c, Anna's Dominican family grew up eating lots of carbs, but her weight gain came from her reclusive lifestyle. She hadn't stepped on a scale for years until she went to college and finally realized she had ballooned to 320 pounds at 21 years old. After weight loss surgery, she had fallen down to 175 pounds, but quickly realized her skin was sagging heavily and it wasn't going away. She found she was just as uncomfortable to be in public as when she was at her heaviest, and she worries that the anxiety will affect her graduating from law school. She can't concentrate at school, her relationship with her sister is deteriorating, and she feels like her youth is wasting away behind closed doors. If she doesn't get the skin removed, she'll never be comfortable in life or achieve her dream of becoming a respectable lawyer.
Kylie was diagnosed with a slow metabolism as a child and did everything she could to try and keep the weight off. Sadly, nothing worked. By the time she was in high school, Kylie was well over 300 pounds and totally hopeless. She feared that life would pass her by, so as soon as she turned 18, she signed up for gastric bypass surgery. Her parents were skeptical, but reluctantly supported her. Tragically, the surgery that was supposed to save her almost killed her. After a 16 month fight for her life, she lost the weight. But now she's covered in excess skin and feeling worse than ever. She's in her early 20s and stops herself from living her life to the fullest because of how much she has to cover up. Kylie is willing to risk more surgeries to get the skin removed. However, the thought of their daughter going under the knife again is terrifying for her parents.
