Dr Now has been helping patients turn their lives around for years in the TLC show, My 600-lb Life. Now, he’s back for Season 12, better than ever and ready to help a brand new set of patients, starting with Krystal S, who’s determined to lose weight before her big day.

Krystal’s My 600-lb Life journey

Krystal has struggled with weight all her life, and by the time she was 10 years old, weighed 200lbs. At the time of filming, she weighed 690lbs.

Due to her weight, the patient, now in her late 30s has difficulty moving and often uses a wheelchair to get around.

She has a hard time going out in public as her family reveals people stare and take pictures of her, which upsets her young daughter.

Krystal is engaged to fiancé, Damian, but doesn’t want to tie the knot until she’s in better shape.

The patient reached her goal and tied the knot

With the help of Dr Now, the patient was able to lose enough weight to be approved for bariatric surgery. Before the surgery, she weighed 549lbs, a huge drop of 140lbs!

The surgery was a success, and after, with the help of a liquid diet, lost an extra 27lbs. By the end of the episode, she was down to 505lbs, which equated to a total loss of 185lbs!

She and Damian had the wedding they’d dreamed of, although they weren’t able to partake in their first dance as she was still in her wheelchair, however, they’re hoping to dance the night away before their first anniversary!

Fans were overjoyed at the transformation, as they took to X, formerly known as Twitter to comment. “Come on Krystal!! Yasss!!” exclaimed one.

“I like Krystal. She’s got a great attitude, she’s got a sweet daughter, and she overcame so much with a smile,” wrote another.
