just a little confused why the doctor's divorce information was spoken about, the show is "My 600-lb Life" is mainly about the patients.
anyone else thinks the same?
I agree. It has nothing to do with his job. I don't see why that was even mentioned at all.
to just try to dig up some dirt for the video, thats all. 🙄
Yeah that was out of line & classless
@@imwaytoshort Women love gossip
It's sad he does all the work and his wife got all the money. Maybe there was some fault on his part but if he earned the money, what entitles her to all of it???
I love Dr. Now. He doesn't sugarcoat but he actually cares.
They'd eat the sugar off it

Wtf y'all bringing his divorce up..... that's just wrong. He's a damn good Dr and has saved lives what have y'all done......
I know, it’s really messed up. No matter what happened, I still love Dr. Now
That's a private matter. I guess his producer son has no say in this?
We all need each others backs, in different areas
Lisa - Dr. Now's ex damaged his existence, so he had to go on working despite his age - sure he's loving it AND PEOPLE - HE IS A GREAT MAN !!! I think the start of this show was also because of this divorce - background - this wonderful guy just lost everything ...
Completely agree
Dr. Now's ability to keep up with the changes in bariatric surgery is amazing. A 70+ year old that can keep up with life-saving, laparoscopic technology is a true inspiration!
Keep up? The doctor's probably written a textbook or two on bariatric surgery.
Just what does his divorce have to do with 600 lb Life?? WHY do you have to add that? It has zero basis for this video. And it's distasteful.
Yeah I agree
I agree!!!
I agree! This man is helping people to change their lives. His former marriage has zero to do with this.
PhatGirl Running ... I just guess this is the reason why this great man is still working in his age - and also why this show was getting on air ... he had lost all of his money etc ...
Just Ducky - I think it has a thing to do with it : Dr. Now has to work despite of his age , because he lost all after divorce. He first needed the money from this show also. Now after some years he still loves his work ... He is a great loving person !!!!!
*Was very low talking about Dr Nowzaradan divorce*

The fact that the girl had to quit school to take care of her dad is really sad
Joseph Dold What about her life
Child abuse
@Joseph Dold , I know this is an old comment, but James was in the news recently. His daughter (the one that BOTH James and Lisa made quit school) had a baby in February or March 2020. She seemed to be really happy...no thanks to her parents. And then James was in the news around the beginning of April. He passed away. I doubt he ever made it out of his bed.
Hopefully both of his kids can lead a normal life now.
@@kathybee3151 Yep. He bought the gigantic farm in the sky. Now he can eat at the trough and "Ow Mah Leg" all he wants without it impeding on anyone else's life. Hopefully this isn't the case, but his daughter's life is likely, and negatively, changed forever. What kind of parents pull their daughter out of school so that she can take care of her father with his self imposed disability? Awful ones. Absolutely awful ones.
Yeah and he fact that the dad didn’t really try to change and the mother wasn’t helping him change made it even worse
I can't stand the Steven Assanti guy....he was like a spoiled 6 yr old and expected Dr.Now and all the staff to be his servants! He had a disgusting attitude
He was So. Stupid and childish!!
@joann Cooper troupe omg yes so stupid, it was so bad I wanted to punch my tv a few times. Lol. That man child is a liar and a manipulative self entitled shit!
I was so displeased with the way his family, well father enabled him.
sara salta ..Auuurrrgh!!! I couldn’t STAND that 🤬!!! When he called the police on his caretaker over that tv??!!(She reminded me of Wanda Sykes!).. She used humor, attitude and sarcasm to get through her day with THAT ungrateful 🤬!
I remember seeing different caretakers every time.. they couldn’t deal with him. But that last caretaker stayed.. she wasn’t get let him get to her.
I knew from the first 5 mins of the show, he was also an addict with those painkillers.
Loved when they played back in slow motion him falling on his ass off that golf cart 🤗
Didn’t he also have a brother? I felt bad for the shit he had to put up with.. being the ‘other child’.
He was so mature. Was overweight, too.. but he was completely mobile.
Oh yeah? He was in the process of opening his own hobby shop!
I usually don’t remember all these details.. but with Steve’s episode.. how can you not?!!
Asanti drove me nuts. Penny did too. But food addiction is very real and complicated. For all those fighting this addiction, keep up the good work.
He makes me sick
At least, he decided to change. Penny did not
Stevens weight was the least of his problem. He is rotten to core. Either he is borderline or bipolar... Something is wrong in that guys head.
Rainbow Writer I think Penny is mentally ill. Maybe all are at some point. I’m glad that Dr. Now sends them to THERAPY. Maybe they needs medication for depression??
@@moirakizito4828 u
I remember when Steven told dr now “dr. Now am in a lot of pain!!!!” And dr. Now said “TOO BAD!!!!” It was hilarious after seeing Steven throw tantrums and get away with them.
Yeh that was funny. He’s a bully. Felt sorry for his brother
Yeah. I actually take pain killers for slipped discs in my neck (although they've been reduced over time), but if he's stealing surgery pain meds from his brother, that's the actions of an addict.
why did you have to talk about his divorce? this is my 600-lb life, not my divorce life.
Hi
Hi
Think it’s sad that he has worked all his life and his wife got almost everything. I think she should of got her fair share but 70% not right.
Unless they marry someone in the medical field that understands the stress, the call hours etc...divorce is inevitable..esp. for someone who is so skilled & in demand!!
Steven Assanti makes me want to scream. I'm glad Dr. Now finally had enough of his nonsense.
Go look at him now. All lean, slim and smart and making helluva money 😃
Me too
Norm N he is?
@@normn2915 hes still a pos wasting taxpayer money to get his drug fix
I am far from a violent person but when I watched the show I could have slapped him silly. Dr Now had the patience of a saint
"she found a new boyfriend and she was bedridden"
I can't even get a second glance from a hottie at the grocery store... smh. HOW?!
degenerates
Lmao 😂😂😂😂😂
#facts
HOW SWAY?! HOW?
Vanessa Shantae their caretakers they were homeless and most need a place to stay.THEY CAN GET A BOYFRIEND AND I CAN'T EVEN GET A MAN
With a title like the "sad truth" of the show, I thought it was going to expose it for being fake somehow
denzal689 same
It's a click bait tactic.
I thought they were going to do A R.I.P segment because some have died after the surgery
jacqueline russell really?
@@alanquartey5539
Yes really did I stutter?
Towards enablers...
I remember one episode where a mom said something like "I can't let my son/daughter starve to death"
And it got me thinking.. so u'd rather feed her/him to death? Like seriously?!?!? It's the same freaking thing!!!! Aaauuugghhh!!!
That mom and her poor hungry child are both dead now.
Chaox Chaox. I think the whole family are dysfunctional and over weight
@@margaretadams2631 - Not a shocker.
damn you got to get into the mans divorce? someone should dig into your personal life and see how you like it
Don t sad becos A lot people love u and u love other too
Dr nowzaradan is a Texan at heart the way he says hey y'all doin? When he sees his patients. Like him or hate him he saved countless lives.
I love the way he says "hey y'all doin'".
I want to meet this doctor, and tell him he is doing a wonderful job. We need more doctors like him.
He is just a wonderful,lovely person who gives people hope! And he always knows,what to do,no matter how bad the situation is
@SceneMissingFilms now now wouldn't be saying that if you or someone you know was enduring this.
I love it when he says “hello how y’all doin’?
Dr. Now having that sort of surgical acuity at his age is an absolute testament. That's extraordinary!
Dr Now is doing a great job, Im glad he’s training other doctors cause his unique talent is needed
I grew up thinking nobody would ever marry me because I had a tummy.....girl I’m good 😹
😂
Girl...me too. Lol
Can we please stop referring to these people as "stars" please?
Oh I get it, cuz stars are spheres
They are as large as some stars in medium sized galaxies
I know! These people are NOT "stars". That has bothered me for a long time. Glad to know other people are on the same wavelength.
Dare to Love ur life It’s a shame that’s the truth
Yeah, meteors is more accurate
I am so weirdly intrigued by this show.. My heart goes out to them. 😢
I know lol. It's hard to watch, but at the same time, I can't stop
Why? They are so sick, they have no self control like drug addicts, they are addicted to food. It is utterly disgusting. They are the weakest humans on Earth.
@@knowlightknowright ok but God still loves them. So should we
I think in a weird way, we--as humans--thrive on silent comparisons and we're secretly encouraged to do better in our own lives by seeing shows like this (others include rehab shows and hoarders).
@@knowlightknowright I pray that you are never in their situation.
You actually see Dr. Now do some general surgery's like he took a gallbladder out I think it was a gallbladder. And it's just really cool that he also does skin removal surgery as well. He sees these patients through until the end and beyond he is truly an amazing human being.
I love Dr Now, he cares so much thats hes brutally honest
cast amberlynn reid our gorl need help
I will forever wait for that episode
She’d be caught with cliff bars wrappers in her rolls and Becky sneaking in orange chicken as a snack for our gorl
She would not succeed unless Dr. Now could talk some sense to her. She’s not ready bc she’s not self-motivated. I really want her to get help. It would be incredible.
dr now would whoop her ass into shape
DangerLine 6661 not with Becky as her enabler she won’t. 💀
That moment when you realize you are single and they have someone or married.
Sexy Meme I’m sure they would be ‘tons’ of fun.
Get some confidence and ask some women out. Or ard you one of those dudes who thinks a woman is going to fall at his feet
Howzer The man I’m not into women.
They’re with them for the SSI money 😂😂😂
Alex Mata no doubt.
Seeing steve fall made me lol..he was so toxic.
Same I was like: 😊❤
"If something happens to me, you'll be very sorry" screaming into the phone at his Father.
No, Steve. Probably not. It would be a relief.
Many relationships have broken up after obese women had weightloss surgery
for the best. the people that are attracted to vulnerable obese people because they are vulnerable and obese are sick fucks.
Yes the saddest one was when the daughter wished her mom was never with her dad even tho she wouldn't be there. 😢
@@ratlord4086 What the hell are you even talking about?
@Jessie Jay that guy was SO ABUSIVE toward her. I was glad she had the courage to get away from him!!
@@ratlord4086 Somebody's single and sad 🤣 poor baby!!
Overeating is a complicated addiction, just as is alcoholism, drugs, or any other issue a person has lost control of. Many obese people appear to have started weight gain after a traumatic event(s).
P l.p. l.p. l opp llp] l.p.
Thank you for saying that
That's true. I had a traumatic event and I just don't care anymore. I've gained 50-60 lbs.
Very true !! We all deal with our problems in a different way ..

My starting weight was 330lbs and I am down to 179lbs without fat surgery.
You could yell at me and have all the tantrums you want. If I was a caregiver, I would only give them the food that's on the diet. What can they do, they can't chase you. Yell, cry, scream and boo, hoo, hoo all you want I would just walk out the door. Question: How do you find a boyfriend or girlfriend when you can't even get out of bed?? I always wondered about that.
I'd sedate their fat asses!
P French
That is what I say
The thing is, YOU wouldn't end up in that show. Neither would I, nor the overwhelming majority of people in general. You need two very "special" people to create the mess seen in the show, the overeater (who almost always have some psychological issues) and the enabler (who have no willpower and are typically quite stupid). If the enablers had the force of will to say no their spouses wouldn't be so fat and therefore they wouldn't be in the show, that's why all the enablers we see are do spineless
There was a stand-alone show of a 600lb mom that would threaten to kick her daughters out of the house if they refused to give her food. She would also call neighbors to sneak food in through the window by her bed.
They get them before they get bed ridden, and the in the person is generally quite stupid and allows them to get into that state
Steven Assanti seems like a truly awful person to even be in the same room with.
MrLamigra1337 Remember Dr. Now used to tell him how bad he smells. 🤢🤮😷
When I first introduced my mom to this show, she thought it was fake and thought they were all wearing fat suits! Haha! She couldn’t believe anyone could be that huge.
The most ridiculous part for me, is when Dr. Now first meets them and asks what they’ve been eating. One replied “salads and lean chicken”. Girl, you’d have to be eating 6 football field’s worth of lettuce and 50 whole chickens per day, to get to 725 pounds! I mean who do they think they’re actually kidding?
Even more hilarious is when it shows them the night before their appointment eating two large pizzas and a bucket of chicken. An hour before that, they had hit a drive thru and ordered 2 double decker burger combos, 3 extra large fries with gravy, an order of chicken fingers, a large coke and an extra large milkshake!!! Right after that meal, it’s a bag of cookies, a carton of ice cream, a bag of cheetos and 12 chocolate bars! Salad and lean chicken my ass! Such denial and minimizing.
Gold Blonde this made me lol. 😂
Be fair- They were really stressed.
Mid seventies? He looks like he's 50 or something
No he doesn't
No, he doesn't. He is an old and wise man. Just look at a 50 year old man and compare the faces, the body posture. He is old, heading towards 80, it shows and is ok.
He would be so flattered to know you said that.
Keanu reeves is 54
@@treeeson1547 well even he looks young for his age then
His divorce is so irrelevant in this video lmao why did y’all put that in there. I want to see Amberlynn Reid on this to expose her true weight annnnnnd expose how often she actually bathes
I'm gonna have to google this girl. People keep bringing her up. Is she a youtuber or something??
@@rachelel9087 Yes, just search her name on UA-cam.
Rachel El a “weight loss” youtuber
Why????
Because the video is about Dr Now and its part of his life
The real sad truth, is how easy it is to get obese. Junk food and sugary snacks are EVERYWHERE, and the marketing for these things is EVERYWHERE. We're being drowned in commercials for Coca Cola ans Snickers all the time. And often times it's cheaper than real food. THAT is the problem.
Food isnt the problem the people are the problem I eat 1 slice of pizza and I feel full the pizza doesn't force me to eat a 2nd slice I decide if I want a second slice or not I cant blame the pizza when I ate the second slice
The thing is, the real food is loaded with extra added sugar....food items you'd never imagine would possibly need it. So, you end up with sugar on top of sugar, and then everything in a given meal is like that.
@@Lengsel7 fresh fruits and vegetables don't have any added sugar. There are so many choices but some people just want something quick and easy to eat.
0seconds yes, true, but you can always just stop giving into temptation. I used to be overweight, and I also ate because of trauma. but one day I just decided to change everything and I starten saying no to myself and the temptation, and I guess these people just dont have the nerve or determination to really do something. Some people are just too weak to fix.
@@mossel_pan1075 ehhh i wouldnt phrase it as "fix." yes, some people are more vulnerable than you, but lots of people can't do these things by themselves. they need support.
"I'm feeling very weak and if something happens to me you're going to be VERY sorry" lmfao lmfao.
Weak from eating too much.
Casandra Lo *hangs up the phone*
Steven was a whiny little sh!t
I'd likely reply "nope"
Please. Get out and walk
I really respect Dr Now for everything he does!
A lot of people wait months or years to qualify for this surgery. Most insurances require a 6 month medically supervised diet and a 9 month long course of classes. It’s sad that the people who are given this surgery without jumping through the hoops that the general public have to take, don’t take the opportunity seriously.
I once saw an episode where a woman drove through a drive thru on scoter,i was too done.
Some of these that have a "👦" friend are looking for free food and shelter..
lol. i saw that episode the other day. there were several cars behind her too. they must have had a good laugh.
That happened when I worked at Arbys as a teen!! Two people drove through on electric wheel chairs lol I couldn’t believe it
That's my default pic on Facebook lmaoooo. She was deadas.s wrong.
Lmao I bout chocked on my snack when I saw that
"You know I like bigger women"
By bigger do you mean 5 times weight of normal person lol
QBEY people like that are evil. My husband doesn’t care about my weight (I’m 50 pounds over) but he isn’t happy if it’s super bad. And he wouldn’t be mad if I got healthy. He’d be happy for me.
that's not "liking bigger women", that's having a fat fetish
I admire Dr. Now. He is 'very' straight up with people in regards to there health problem and genuinely wants to help them, even at times when they give up on themselves
I'm glad Dr. Now calls out the enablers.
even then, I feel like his voice is too soft ... he must have nerves of steel
I agree. He truly is a role model. Being kind hearted is often turned into bleeding heartedness, which makes individuals blinded to rationality by emotions. They would let all these sad stories give these individuals an excuse
My favorite thing Penny says "nobody told me I had to lose weight when I got here"
😂😂😂
Lol I remember that! That woman was just stupid *sorry*
I mean, from my observations, she clearly had problems of knowing what the reality was and would not listen to the doctor like girl, If u want and/or need help, u gotta listen geez
I still want to fight her till this day lol
Quote: “ I can reach my vagina and clean it” 😂😂😭
Lol
I was always so impressed with how patient he is. I would have been yelling at those people. It is so frustrating how hard he tried to help them and they would come in having gained 50 pounds claiming they hadn't eaten anything. He really helped and saved a lot of people's lives.
Dr.Now is the only one who would take on and bravely do weight loss surgeries on these kind of extreme cases. His skills are phenomenal. I am glad he is there to help these people.
I live an hour from Houston, my sister actually went to see Dr Now twice (weight loss to have a kid). And from what they tell me, he is exactly like he is on the show (second time he was Savage against my sister lol).
Sorry I LMAO when Steven Asante fell off the stretcher. NO I'M NOT!
That guy is such a character and he found someone crazy enough to marry him smh lol
We all did, it's ok
Wasn't he the same dude that put on the best one may brodway show when he fell and screamed that he hurt his leg? lol
Laughed my butt off....
@@CEDL4072 - wait, he's married????
I’m a big girl who needs to lose 75 lbs. Whenever these people first step on the scale in the doctor’s office they look shocked at the amount of their weight. Did they honestly expect the scale to read 150 lbs?
I have watched this show many times. I can relate with these people and their stories. At my highest weight I was 351lbs. I was diagnosed as being diabetic. But even at that weight and giving myself 4 shots of insulin a day and taking the highest dose of oral medication, I still worked on the career that I love so much. I am a CNA in the private duty sector. I finally decided that I wanted to live, not only for my special needs son, but for myself and that's when a change in my heart occurred. I left an abusive 15 year relationship with my son and our clothes. I had gastric bypass surgery and started to build my life back up to where I was before I told myself it was ok to stay with a man who abused me. I lost 150lbs so far and I had a couple of life set backs. But thank God, I'm still here and back on track. Depression is a real and powerful enemy, but with a lot of determination and being a little stubborn, I'm making my way back to my independence.
Such sad people trapped in their bodies, killing themselves. I'm happy for the ones that have success.
I like the Docs outlook .... if you cheat yourself he won’t help them.
The way the enablers gets treated always bothered me. Like, they're the ones in power here! THEY CAN WALK AND PERFORM BASIC HUMAN FUNCTIONS! And the patients are either stuck in bed or cant even walk 2 ft without breathing heavely. Why do they constantly feel threatened when they dont bring the high calorie food they've been asked to bring??
ARhannah : These obese persons can get REAL angry if they are not supplied with food. There are some videos on UA-cam showing them shouting. They even make the very young children drop out of school...
Being obese is enormous SELFISH. Others wash/shower them, many wear diapers which have to be changed often with the huge amount of food they eat. They belittle themselves for many reasons. WHO PAYS ALL THAT FOOD, the cars and house as husband/wife/life partner are their 24/7 caretakers. The family has no life except from going to get food. MILLIONS have divorced parents, got abused and/or raped and are NOT OBESE.
I would love to have a Doctor like Dr Now because he cares for his patients and is very nice
What’s going to happen when this man passes away is going to be sad appreciate what you have while it’s here
I especially love that dr Now points out that only about 2% of super obese patients will successfully reach and maintain their goal weight.
That is a scary statistic
pitiful.

I feel sorry for him having to let his wife have 70% of everything that is so unfair.
In almost every story, the partner leaves after the patient loses weight and starts to live healthier. It’s honestly weird.
Job lost.
Happened to me, she lost weight and left me
What business is it of your’s to report or even comment on Dr Now’s private life? It’s very disrespectful!
This should have been about the show and his practice, not his personal life.
spydergs07 Agree
“ Do you look malnourished?”
"You're not 700 pounds of water."
He was hardly peeing though.
no judge has the right to give 70% of a man's belongings to his ex wife. sorry that is just evil. everything but his business? RUKIDDING ME???
ymimad49 I agree, but we don’t have all the evidence so we don’t know all of what their marriage was like
He had the wrong lawyer..he should have pursued the case and fought that unjust Court decision.
Don't waste the judge's time and ignore the judge's orders and you might come out much better.
@@muchtested yeah ignoring court orders is a great way to anger a judge, find yourself in contempt and get the maximum plus penalties all in one shot.
A wife should only get back what she put into a marriage if you get divorced. If she was just a "stay at home mom" then she shouldn't get shit. If she was contributing to the bills then yeah give her what she paid back, but not if she's just "Used to a certain life-style".

Perfect name. You. Now.

The way the old man shows his guilty conscience watching the donuts he’s delivering upstairs😂😭 4:58 - 5:05
My heart goes out to all these people, especially my teachers husband who was on this show and sadly did not make it. Sending love ❤️
Skipped you talking about his divorce. Stop being messy. He’s out here saving lives and you’re talking about something that hurt him. Smh WE LOVE YOU DR. NOWZARDAN ❤️
You know you reached a low point when you can use your belly as a table
I love Dr. Now and what he does to help these people lose the weight & regain their freedom, self esteem & their lives. He's doing a great thing. Keep up the great work, Dr. Now & all the past patients & new patients.
The doctor looks good for being in his 70s.
I always wondered how someone can see themselves getting so big and still keep eating.
How can they afford all this food, boggles my mind
More Doctors need to be like this.
Dr. Now is a BEAST - that we all love because he doesn't buy the crap his overweight patients try to sell him.
What's the relevance of discussing Dr. Now's divorce? None!
jeezus his wife got 70% whtf what hapened to even 50-50 split
Hamasake Gagf TX is a Community Property State
Probably because he tried to hide assets during the divorce.
This show makes me sad for them, so many issues underneath we dont always see. Also I watch it while on the treadmill as an inspiration and a why to do what I need to
Heartbreaking. Poor ppl. This doctor should be canonized. It’s SO easy to to give up and eat everything in sight. I GET it. But it’s all about discipline, control and LOVING yourself enough to break the cycle.
I still like the doctor. So many are afraid of malpractice accusations, they will not take on difficult cases. ( but I guess that makes sense as well)
I'm just so happy for those who are able to get back into life.
The 850 lbs guy who can't get out of bed has a girlfriend! 🤣
Wow and I'm a average weight 13yr old and is single😪😪😪😪
Sometimes i dont get how these people are in relationships. not cause they weigh so much but because of their attitudes. Some of them are just really abusive and hate filled. I guess either cause they have some fetish or because they themselves have been abused and brainwashed into thinking they couldnt get someone better where they stick to trashy people.
Absolutely love Dr Now.....what an amazing Doctor and all-round good guy !!
Sorry, but these are
NOT ORDINARY PEOPLE!! they weigh
as much as FIVE
*ordinary people*
@Vee C Please!! child you have NO IDEA WHO or WHAT you are talking too, EXCUSES be damned, there is NO
justification for
eating yourself to over 700 pounds!!
the world was not designed for
people that weigh
as much as a horse!!
Accept the TRUTH!!
as somebody who cannot walk I find that because of them being overfed and being unwilling to walk to be very saddening
I can’t even think about food after watching this. My God it’s really sad.
His marriage isn't anyone's business.
Congratulations to Dr. Now for doing a great job with all the patients that want to be themselves!!👍👍 Lots of Blessings to him!!🙏🙏🙏
I like Dr Now! He doesn’t fall for their expert manipulations! He tells it like it is! Some of these ppl are so lost in the delusion he can’t help them. It’s sad because he knows his stuff!! Carbs are addictive, and who knows what else is addictive that is in fast food and junk food. I don’t understand someone letting their bodies go this far. Who wants to be bed bound and unable to clean themselves? It’s like any other addiction only ppl have to eat. Penny is one of the most delusional of all. I think some of their partners stay and take care of them so they don’t have to work. They live off of the disabled benefits maybe.
The enablers in many cases get paid to "take care of them".
I watch this show as a deterrent and encouragement to get and stay healthy! Thanks Doctor Now!
I love the summary at the end: many needed psychological help as well as physical help. This applies to all WHOLE wellness. It's like washing one side of your dishes thinking the other side don't matter!
