How Realistic is My 600-lb Life Show?
When you witness such incredible weight loss results as in these My 600-lb Life success stories, it is only understandable to wonder how real this TV show is. While it is indeed classified as a reality TV series, that doesn’t mean it was completely staged or that the results or depicted events weren’t actually happening.
As with any reality TV show where people are followed around in their daily lives, or in this case, a 600 lb person getting ready for their bariatric surgery, there is a lot that the camera does not see. That said, My 600-lb Life does portray most of the aspects of bariatric surgery truthfully, but in other moments, it deviated slightly from reality, too.
My 600-lb Life doctor, Dr. Younan Nowzaradan, is indeed a qualified professional specializing in vascular and bariatric surgery, and all the procedures and aftercare of every 600-pound person appearing on the show are paid for by his hospital. So, while none of the participants are paid to be in the show, their medical expenses are covered one hundred percent.
