Sometimes i think Dr. NOW is depressed and doesnt take the necesary measures to act. It was clear this guy had to be hospitalized from day 1 and the mom needed to go to a psychiatrist to get help.
Dr N CANNOT solve the mind if these people. Until THEY want to do it, he can’t hold their hand to do it. They have to want to do it more than he does.
Doctor need to hire David goggins
So whatever happened to Sean, it doesn't tell us

In England a mother was jailed when it was found out her 16yr old daughter was 600 lbs. Complete child abuse.
Wow! Loss for words
That's five times my weight
Great! The problem here is poor get food stamps and are obese as hell then have poor health in turn cost the tax payers in higher medical insurance
Dredges on society
@@sicooper4230 Shes probably a christian too
There's something very wrong about a 26 year old man lying around naked at his momma's house, and defecating on himself in public. No matter how big or immobile he is. The mom definitely enabled this.
Totally agree! That was definitely disturbing!
I can't even fathom it and where I come from, we feed peopIe as a way to show love, like c'mon over for a good home cooked meal.
But not Iike that, we are normaI, average sized peopIe who eat to Iive, not Iive to eat.
I have 2 sons of normal weight, Idk how anyone could possibly think that's Iove to feed your son to an early grave. I think he was doomed from the get go with her as a mother. I hope he is at peace now.
@@metalmamasue3680yea I'm 5'9 at 114 hopefully I can fix this issue
He was likely special needs
She died first, but she made damn sure he wasn’t going to be far behind. Pure evil.
He thinks 800 cal diet is extreme...you know what's extreme? Weighing 900 pounds.
That’s exactly what I was thinking!
Death is also extreme!
To be fair, 800 calories IS a bit extreme in a vacuum. I'm 5'8 and weigh 112 pounds and even I eat WAY more than 800 calories a day (I eat about 1600 calories a day). Here's the thing though: Sean's situation is extreme! He's so large that he's obviously not going to starve to death by going on this kind of diet
@@juansanchez209Dr now logic is that he has fat reserve that his body can tap into. He wouldn't die, because his body has enough fat storage for years to covert to energy
I said that same thing while watching! "Well your weight is extreme bud" 😂 wth did he think
"If he's hungry, he needs to eat."
No ma'am, he doesn't. That's kind of the whole point
There’s no way he’s hungry, he’s got like millions of calories in reserve🗿 just gluttony and addiction
Ear to live...nor live to eat
Eat ro live not live to eat
I know, right? With the quantity of junk this young man consumes, how could he ever be hungry? He can't move. Mum needs to say NO, I'm not bringing you junk any more. She, however, is morbidly obese too, so she apparently has no control over her food consumption either. Feeding her son is killing him. It's abuse all the way.
He needed to fast. And eat no carbs when he did eat.
His Mother did this to him. She taught him no social skills she kept him trapped in a bed so she would not be alone. You can tell that his behavior is childlike . This is one of the saddest stories
My heart breaks for Sean. R.I.P. Sean.
Absolutely DISGUSTING!!!
This is what Eugenia Cooney’s mother is doing to her, except she’s enabling her eating disorder.
This...was a hell..
Horror...this mother was total DEBIL, shithole.
@@stuff1784 honestly, i sometimes think these parents have life insurance for their kids and are just waiting til they die bc i cannot think abt how long this had to go on without someone to at least ask questions
Why do people bother seeing a doctor when they completely ignore their advice?
The royalty checks from being on the show
Folks want to know what’s wrong but aren’t prepared to make a change. It’s no different than the person that weighs 200 lbs. and has high blood pressure but refuses to change their diet and lifestyle.
They want to hear there's nothing they can do, unfortunately a lot of doctors do so to make easy money
They have simple mind and probably they really think that doctor is magician and will give them special pills, will make an appointment to do a surgery and voila! MDs will do everything and they will be able to still do nothing. And of course have the same habits and eat the same amount of food. Will be bad again? They'll come back later ^^
So they can blame somebody else...
She said he’s eating good healthy food. She fed him cheeseburgers and fries. The mind boggles
Look at her… she herself doesn’t understand diet or nutrition, so how can she possibly make good choices for another person?
She doesn't want him to get well, and she's programmed his mind enough to where he truly doesn't want to either. She always wants him to be there and to control him.
@user-mk5rs2kc8c the fast food hack. Just get the hamburger (etc). Like you said, if one just ate a Big Mac, fries, and very light snacks daily (co-current with good exercise) they’ll likely lose weight. For the typical thin person who gained weight (like me once) it’s more due to overeating.
@user-mk5rs2kc8cSeen you the only one who said so far burger and fries are healthy food,even if consumes less or not..a single veg and other may be healthy but the way they made seems not healthy,
How dumb are you? Cheeseburger and fries is NOT HEALTHY.
"800 calorie diet is a bit extreme". So is weighing over 900 lbs. SMFH
They use "800 calorie diet" because they realize he will never actually do 800 calories a day. Maybe 4,000 calories if he has huge motivation. If they gave him a 3,000 calorie diet, he would probably still eat 9,000+...
Do they give the family any type of education or resources to the nutritionist? It's concerning that he said he didn't even know how many calories are in food. It's still 100% their fault buy maybe they really just didn't understand what to do in real time.
She obviously knows better than the doctor. Ma’am it’s not a suggestion from the doctor!!!
You took the words out of my mouth.
They only get this low calories very often because everyone knows they will never follow it.
One of the saddest episodes. The man lived till he was 29, yet he never lived a day of his life.
He died?

@@slegereif not for that, he would've passed from a stroke or something else not long after. It's crazy how he got to such weight

@@slegeresadly??? Lol idk about that
That “mother” straight up lied to Dr. Now , multiple times, and he saw right through it. She fed him to death.
Yea he was doing great when his mom wasn’t there but his mom controls and manipulates her son to want to be dependent on her and that’s sick. Idk why they didn’t keep her away maybe they legally can’t
Her boy was hungry.

@@brennathecatlover4360More common than you think. It's sick how parents, especially mothers, like that genuinely think they are doing something great.
Family sometimes can be a curse.
I know a woman like Sean's mother. She started force feeding her son as a toddler. When he said he was full she would make him eat more. He now weighs 500lbs at 25 years old. Dad died at 40 of a heart attack and couldn't leave the house due to obesity. Mom lost a leg due to diabetes caused by obesity. She doesn't see anything wrong with the situation.
Low IQ, but the question is, where did they get the money to bring themselves to such a state?
Pathetic.
Sean expired Feb., 2019, age 29, when his body couldn't fight off an infection.
Sounds... no, IS self destructiv
Mom is killing herself ÁND her family
Clearly she doesnt love anyone
Shout out to those workers lifting him in and out of those transports. They're the real MVPs.
Gotta be strong!
Half of them died from hernias
As well as the one pushing the chair because he had to look at the ass when Sean got up to be weighed
@@fearthesting66 i wouldve been tryna lick 😜
Ironic. Sean weighed as much as all the medics transporting him combined.
Unfortunately Sean passed away in 2019 due to an infection but had lost over 400 lbs. RIP 💛🕊️
Yea, but he gained all his weight back again. He was 489 but then in 2 months he was up to 766. That's 277 pound weight gain in just 2 months. 2 weeks later, he passed away. He was really depressed after his mother passed away. He kept regaining any weight Dr Now helped him lose
@Cjjjj902300lbs were like 2 people
Imagine carrying the weight of more than two people in your body
May their souls rest in peace
@@yelanchiba8818 and in this video he was carrying 7 of me (30yr old female). 7 people worth :o

@@ashiecloud I am also overweight and carrying an 11-year old boy my doctor said
After two months of diet and exercise, I already lost a toddler. I cannot imagine myself carrying 7 people 😬😬
This was the saddest episode of my 600lb life. He had no life. His food addiction was real. His mom was sick in the head. A leg injury at 16 kept him in bed for over a decade and everyone in his life thought it was ok? This episode made me cry.
R.i.p. Sean❤
Yes this was the saddest episode I saw on that show as well. He never even had the chance to experience anything life had to offer. And then when when his mother suddenly died he was expected to be normal, when the only example he had to go by was an absent father and a messed up mother who never had his best interests at heart
Crazy, some don't have legs and get around. His mother, family were idiots
It looks like he had eczema too
@@booyah7415 cellulitis I think
Is that Tammy in your profile picture?
His mom said 800 calories is extreme? Ma’am, your son is almost 1000 lbs and can’t wipe his own behind. That’s extreme.
Even if he had the mobility to reach it, I don't think he could find the spot to wipe among that absolute mass of nonsense he's got going on back there.
Mom should be arrested for child endangerment.
They're both gone now
Can't arrest someone who's dead
That’s not a child. That’s a grown man
Yes the mom may have been an enabler, but its no one else’s fault but your own if you weight 900 freaking pounds. Wake up people!! Sean did this to himself not the mom
@@RawwRex His mom killed him. Dude had one parent in this world and he got stuck with a woman who basically forced fed him until he died.
Yes, he kept eating, but his mom created and maintained the environment for him to die.
Being that big at only 26 is astounding. It’s a shame he passed away so young too. His mother is to blame for his fate. He had his whole life ahead him.
Being that big at any age is insane
But he wasn't living he was only existing
Is it a shame though....what was his contribution to society? Being a welfare parasite? He's done the best thing he can do for the world...leave it 😂
He did lose over 400 pounds !
At 26 he was responsible for his one life - let’s not blame the mom
Sean was toe tagged from the day he was born. His mother literally loved him to death. Felt so bad from him.
Did your mom force feed you? No she didn't, because you wouldn't have eaten more than you needed in the first place. This mother and her kid had some serious mental issues going on because this doesn't happen in a normal home.
@@getin3949 I think Sean was socially retarded and his mother made sure he stayed that way. Unlike Stephen Assanti I had real real sympathy for Sean
You are exactly right. His Mother "Loved him to Death".
Fed him to death
Yeah, she did force him. She’s been over feeding him since he was an infant, and conditioned him to become an addict before he even started school. I doubt if a mum gave her child drugs each day, that you’d be saying “nobody forced him” if he was a cocaine addict as an adult
"If he's hungry, he needs something to eat"
No, he absolutely does not. Sean could be hungry for 18 months straight and not need any food.
Did a little math.
The average male 20 and older is 200-ish pounds. Lets use pork for this example as its the closest similarity. In 200 pounds of pork whole, loin, or broiled there is around 219,859 calories. Considering he weighs 900 pounds that means he has 989,364 calories. I got stuck here, as at his weight he could last 8-12 weeks before fatal starvation, but the longest recorded time for not eating is 385 days.
Balancing somewhere between there and a recommended caloric intake, its not likely he could survive for months to a year before needing to eat again.
@@gordontheseali think beef is even more close
@@gordontheseal He's deceased now (02/2019, age 29), so he's no longer suffering, thankfully.
@@gordontheseal You are comparing apples to oranges, pigs are a lot more muscular than they might seem, I would assume that he has at absolute minimum 600 pounds of fat on him, and that's ignoring the rest. A pound of body fat is around 3500Kcal. So 600x3500= 2.100.000Kcal. He could definitely had lived 18 months on water and supplements alone. Also you are basing his caloric needs on his heaviest weight, but they are directly correlated, so as he would lose weight, the rate of weight loss would decrease.
Why no give to him only oats and lentil??? Why burger and fries!!???? This lady is crazyyyyy
For those wondering, Sean and his mother Renee have both passed. Renee died in 2017 from kidney failure. It apparently has made Sean go back to his old habits despite losing 400lbs. Sean died in 2019 from an infection at only 29 years old.
How do you know he went back to his old habits?

Another commenter after my own heart. Thank you for your honest and intelligent comment.
Yeah and now the son is deceased. :|
Bingo
800 calories is ridiculous though. If he was eating 30,000 calories a day like they said, he could go down to 20,00 and lose weight.
As time goes on he should lessen it even more and eventually get to the standard 2,000 a day but asking someone to go from 30,000 down to 800 the next day is going to lead to failure and it did, he's dead now.
@@tabbyreed8925it would have let him take accountability for his actions
For those curious what happened after: apparently sean milliken lost over 400 pounds, but died in 2019 at the age of 29. the previous summer, the mother also passed away.
I hate to seem like an a-hole, but it was probably for the best. The poor guy didn’t stand a chance
There's always a chance.

That's really sad.
Mum is 100% to blame. Very sad in all that she has not allowed her son the life he should live. Wiping his arse at 26 is crazy.
He Weighs 919 Pounds I don’t think he can physically wipe his ass
50/50, she didn't shove it down his throat.
I'm in disbelief. This grown man used his fingers to check himself and then told his mom that he had an accident. Then she wiped him as if he were a toddler.
Right, it's sad but at the same time it's entitlement, enabling, over privilege, and lack of self control to the maximum.
I am totally repulsed. This is not a healthy relationship. He acts like he is 2 yrs old. If mommy keeps him fat then he will never leave her. I really think that is what she wants.
I do not understand this!!!
Is the mom a co-dependent who never wants her son to grow up??
That is the most selfish thing EVER!
Imagine how he smells constantly
They both passed away
Sad.
Dude shat himself and checked with his hands like a 2 year old.
Yep... He pooed a little 😢
When you need a compass and map to find your own ass, it's probably necessary to do a checkie/smellie. I mean my ass is a defined part of my body, and I always know where it is, while in his case it's just a little hole in the middle of an ocean of skin and fat he can't reach. He's just all "body".
His ass is somewhere south of his back area and north of what used to be his legs. Of course he has to check.
Mom - Bathroom! Bathroom!
Thats a big boy, isn´t he? :D
no literally 😭😭 acting like a toddler
He has almost 2.5 Million calories stored in his body and his mother was uncomfortable with an 800 calories a day diet?
Without this show and Dr. Now's intervention at that time she would've literally fed him to oblivion. Cause if he would've made it to 1,000 lbs, his heart would've gave out.
He's the amazon warehouse equivalent of biological storage
@@seanbrummfield448According to reports, Sean made it to 1003 lbs once!
@@seanbrummfield448 He did make to 1000 at one point. There is no set limit when his body would give out, it doesn't work that way. It could give out at any time at a lower weight, or it could take more than 1000 pounds. That said, it's a miracle he made it as far as he did.

@@AnaLucia-wy2ii Damn. Probably for the best tho.
Treatment for something this bad should be dealt with the same way as rehab. In a facility away from home for at least a few months, full of doctors and therapists, a very strict schedule, and VERY minimal contact with family- particularly the ones who are known to bring them the food that's killing them. This is just so sad
Not that I don’t agree but if worked at that facility and saw him come in I would walk out. I’m not hurting myself for that bs
That costs money. A lot of money. All of Sean’s money goes to stuffing him.
That wouldn't work, soon as they get out they would go right back to their old habits and resume their monstrous form. Thats why Dr Now makes them lose an initial amount of weight before getting the surgery. The early seasons he didnt do that and most relapsed. Its a complete waste of resources on people that wont utilize it
so YOU pay for it!~
Thing is, rehabs aren't that effective. The relapse rate is pretty high, so if you can't get someone in the right headspace at home, anything they do outside of it won't stick anyway.
This past week, I went from 392 to 387. I refuse to get to Seans point let alone get over 400 pounds. Wish me the best guys.
Update 8/24/23: Went from 387 to 384
Update 9/8/23: On the 6th, I weigh 379. Thank you so much for the encouragement and cheering and advice. I absolutely appreciate it ❤❤❤
Update 11/16/23: I now weigh 368. 🎉🎉 Lost over 20 pounds!!
Update: 2/15/24: Yesterday I lost a little over 30 pounds, weighed 358.6. Truth be told during the holidays it went up and down in the 360s, but I never gave up. Still got a long way to go. I eat only 2 meals a day, sometimes have a snack in the morning so I don't starve myself. I also go on my walks 3-5 days a week. (Unless it's really cold or bad weather.) I also limit bread and pasta (I don't usually eat much of them.) I drink water and carbonated water, a small soda once in a while (no diet crap.) Also went from a size 11 to a size 10 shoe.
Update 7/8/24: It's been a while since I last checked in. But I am happy to say that I have officially lost 50 lbs. I am still doing my walks, drinking plenty of water, and not eating a lot of crap. I have had some days where I have ended up eating a chocolate bar (a small one, but still.) Regardless I still keep up with my exercises and only eat two meals a day with a small snack in the morning if I'm hungry. I cannot believe how far I have gotten within less than a year from 392 to 341. Even though I still have a lot of work to do, I do appreciate all the support that I got from this comment. Thank you for all your support and I hope I inspired people to lose weight.
Good luck!
You can do it!

The smell in his bedroom must be absolutely horrendous 🤢
Body odor mixed with stale piss and shit.
Imagine his f.arts

The doctor told him how bad he smelled. I thought it was a bit mean, but he has to know to be fair. He needed to start taking care of himself. He said you smell horrible and probably haven't showered for several months. He looks like he smells bad. Sad situation, I do have empathy for him.
Maybe so, but he's still a human being and he needs a lot of help. What if you were in a situation where you couldn't do anything for yourself. Doesn't have to be obesity but what if you got in a car wreck and you were completely paralyzed and everybody had to do everything for you. What if you couldn't bathe or do anything for yourself. You would want Mercy and people to understand and not make fun of you

I feel like most people come to Dr.Now for some sort of miracle surgery
Dr. Now has often stated that very thing..."People are looking for a magic cure so they don't have to change their eating habits, but the surgery is not magic,"...so you're right on target.

My aunt was very overweight. The rest of the family had given up as they believed that she was taking over their lives. I dropped out of college for 2 years to help. Breakfast; one slice of bread, hot beverage of her choice, half of a fruit, greens and tomatoes, one boiled egg and lots of water. First morning she threw it on the floor, it stayed there until she could clean it up. Dinner; a small salad, stew chicken, vegetables, lots of water. Nightcap. A cup of coffee. I got a huge tub by her bed, and she had to wash herself as best as she could. We fashioned a pulley over her bed, so she could pull herself onto the '''potty chair'' It has a hole in the middle, she '''walked''' herself to the toilet, then positioned the chair over the toilet. She had to wipe her own behind as well. I wanted her to know, that she had to be on her way to independence. She wanted a dog, I told her that until she could walk a dog, she had to be satisfied with the cat. I would not be taking on that added duty; besides I was doing a couple courses on-line to keep up.

She also was afraid to be alone so kept him in that condition and I truly think she wanted him to stay super obese that way he wouldn't ever have a reason to leave.
I'm not a psychologist, but after seeing this he developed Peter Pan syndrome, like even after his mother died he refused to take responsibility for his weight gain and he still couldn't take care of himself

The only consolation at the time was that his death was instantaneous, and he didn't suffer at all. Much better than being bedbound for most of one's life, totally dependent on someone else for all physical needs to be met.
She just said, "We weren't comfortable putting him on that few of calories." ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?!?! Thats pure denial right there folks!
She never read the diet sheet Dr Now gave her, not for a second. And unfortunately, Sean did not have "only one burger a day" as an 'extra' on his 'diet' - if that really was the only 'indulgence' he was having, even on a daily basis, he would STILL have lost weight. Not as much, but definitely some - and he absolutely would NOT have GAINED weight.
But she's comfortable with the excessive overfeeding?? Just seems crazy to let someone get like that.
@@lyndahylton819 right!?! Don't you see you're slowly k*****g him? It's weird.
As if he's 'confortable' in that condition!?
@@graceskerp Right!?!
"800 calorie diet is a bit extreme." You want to know what is even more extreme? A 26 year old weighing 900+ pounds which is concerning for his health.
Dr Now does not do people pleasing, he confront everyone in their best interest. I admire him for that, he genuinely cares about patients.
He’s a perfect example of tough love. He’s not outright mean, but he will give it you straight whether it sounds “nice” or not. He doesn’t tell you what you want to hear, he tells you what you NEED to hear.
I wish he would have called adult protective services here
If he truly cared why didn't he immediately admit Sean into hospital instead of sending him home for 2 months to gain more weight?? This is very dodgy to me. This is a open & shut case of adult neglect and abuse by his mother and yet he was allowed to go home with her ?
@@fay-amieaspen6046 I'm not sure. It does raises questions. But I think Sean is an adult and they can not legally take those procedures? Not sure if Sean wanted to go to rehab himself. Dr Now sometimes says the hospital can't be a rehab center itselves. Any other way you put it, always has to do with finances. In the case of another patient James Dr Now called adult protective services because his wife kept feeding him secretly in the hospital. I remember there was not that much that could be done other than Dr Now filing a complaint.
@@fay-amieaspen6046 because he's overweight and the hospital can't and won't do anything especially since his life isn't in any danger apart from being overweight
Absolutely incredible that the human body can get up to 5-6 times its normal size.
it can, but not for long, hence why he died
Yeah but there’s only so much that the heart and other organs can take.
1000 is 7.4 times my 135. I'm just pointing out how extreme it is. And incredible as you said
…and to think there is a normal size skeleton holding up all that blubber. His internal organs must be squished with the pressure of all that fat.
Just barely
Imagine your doctor saying you might be the most extreme case on earth right now and be totally serious about it.
You would think that would be wake up call for you to do something about it.
imagine being the mother of said person and not taking it seriously, actually facilitating his death 🙄
@fricku yeah he did die
I don't know, but I always come to watch these kind of videos sometimes to motivate myself to keep exercising everyday and be mindful of what I'm eating. I somewhat have a similar parent, and he hates me seeing myself diet and workout everyday like I really hate it, but I don't listen to him of course no matter what it takes.
Hope you achieve your goals!!! 😊
I'm currently watching what I eat, and I'm exercising every day.
I've lost 4.5 stone and down 3 dress sizes.

Dr Phil always says a form of child abuse is a parent that does not teach a child basic life skills that teach them how to be a full functioning independent adult that can make their own decisions and take care of themselves. This is the worse form of overmothering that I have ever seen.
I don't like Dr. Phil, but that's correct. The parent is actually more reliant on the child. The parent keeps the child at home and dependent on the parent by not teaching them life skills - just so that they have companionship. It's horrible. Eventually, the parent dies and leaves their child alone and in a world that their child has no clue how to navigate. Since they've been in the house most of their lives, they have no friends or support system. All they had was their mom. This episode makes me so sad. I can't even watch it again.
Lord as much as I hate to agree with anything Dr Phil ever said…
Dr Phil isn't a licensed doctor
Do not forget the infamous Steven "royal highness the blob" ASSanti.
I don't fully agree with that because we have a choice to pursue knowledge ourselves. Parents sometimes fail because they also lack knowledge regarding parenting because no one is born a parent. But it doesnt have to end there we can also learn how to develop independence without their help through reading several books per month, discipline and commitment. We live in a world with easy access to information. Resources are readily available. It's easier to pass blame on someone instead of taking responsibility and accountability for it. Sean was the driver of his own life. He made choices that led him to his death. If he sought after a way out perhaps he could have found an escape. But for many years he was comfortable. I don't know the entire situation or know his temperament towards his mother. I'm not sure if he threw tantrums to get what he wanted from her.
To the engineers that built that wheel chair I salute you… that’s over 450 lbs on each wheel.. that’s impressive
I searched and found out that he went up to 1003lb but till 2019 he lost over 400lb. Then he died due to an infection at the age if 29
Yes. Nature took care of that thing. They had to saw it off in three parts to shove it in a casket made for humans. Now it's buried.
@@ricarleitehave some respect and compassion. It’s not his fault the mother didn’t raise him to be a man. She raised him to be her companion and she made sure he could never leave.
Oh...sad to read that. Not surprised tho 😢
Crazy that even after losing 400 pounds, he was still as big as most patients when they begin on this extreme show!
@@ricarleite So cruel of you
Being too big for clothes is WILD.
seeing him cry while doing nothing is actually really heartbreaking . he was literally sitting not moving a single muscle and still is in pain do u know how unbearable that must be ?
His threshold for pain is different than a normal persons. What he is calling pain is what you and I would describe as a minor ache or being slightly uncomfortable.
@@whiteyfisk9769Or, having 900 pounds of fat crushing your body actually is painful.
Oh its absolutely horrible. The amount of pressure that's constantly on his body must be so painful. It's so sad it got to this point. This is way past the "normal" level of obesity. I honestly don't know how he survived as long as he did at this weight. Sad to hear he did pass, this was ultimately preventable
What is wrong with his mother ? My God peopIe, that is NOT Iove. It's chiId abuse at its worst.
I have 2 sons and in no reaIity couId I possibIy feed them Iike that, into an earIy grave.
ObviousIy she's compIicit in his death but l guess they are both gone now. No shock there.
I'm sorry they are, but this was totaIIy preventabIe.

This is awfuI and so senseIess.
No he doesn't need something to eat every time he is bored. She's weak and enabled his death.
@@whiteyfisk9769 Nah. I'm 20-30lbs overweight and my back kills me. I can't imagine how shitty this guy feels.
How has he only been alive for 26 years and is almost 1000lbs
I’m actually stunned
He's since died
He actually gained up to 1,oo3lbs Dr. Now was right when he said it looked like he'd gained weight. 4 digits is crazy.
His female parental unit did that to him deliberately.
She expired in 2017, he expired in 2019 (age 29).
This was amazing to me how he got to that size. Unbelievable that his mother couldn't understand or stop feeding him.
It's called Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy.

Because his mom use food to control his whole life
@@spaceracer23(Son literally is a giant blob of fat with vaguely human limbs.)
Mom "He NeEds FoOd"
😒😒
If he’s hungry…” Let me stop you right there. He’s not hungry, he’s depressed. He’s eating to satisfy an emotional need, not a physical one, and nobody looking at him would rationally think that he’s being deprived of food unnecessarily. Something tells me she needs just as much therapy as he does
They don't FEEL COMFORTABLE putting him on 800 calorie diet?! What, they think he's gonna starve??
I'm baffled that they think a medical doctor who specializes in this would give bad advice
if this dude stopped eating right at the filming of this, he would probably have lasted months if not a whole damn year with basically no food and just water + vitamins. absolutely mind boggling.
The mother is unbelievable! She’s the one giving him the food! 🤦🏽♀️
Ultimately, Sean’s story was very sad. He was so utterly dependent on his mother that he really had no hope to begin with. Then when she passed away, he just gave up.
"800 kcal is a bit extreme" Says the guy who weights above scale limit
Shaun is like a small child and his mother is a abuser . She’s literally abusing him with food
She never allowed him to individuate.
The mother: "Aww my poor sick 900 baby is in agony!"
Buys him a giant family size pizza.
He must be on that diet. He's only down to one family size pizza. I can just about manage a medium.
@@iamthestig1 I can manage a family-size pizza... (I can eat two a day)
What I want to know is HOW can someone who sits/lays around all day eating and nothing else has the muscle mass to stand up from a seated position with 900 +lbs packed on to their frame?
His Mother is 100 Percent to BLAME the condition of her son.
It’s easy to blame mom but the situation is codependent
No one forced that man to eat. As bad as an enabler is, everyone, especially an adult, is responsible for themselves. Blaming the mother and not the son is the same deflection that got him in this situation.
@@ttselha64 Was. They're both dead.
Yes and no.Theres some responsibility that comes with being the one to say no.And he never said no to eating that much even when he saw how big he was getting.
buddy can also just stop eating..
I know he’s gone now (RIP), but I’m astonished that he was over 900 lbs and could still take a few steps.
"one fast food a day" isn't "a compromise", it's the problem, it's crazy to think in his situation that was ok, maybe once a month.
Should’ve stopped fast food all together at that weight, he’s had enough fast food for a lifetime
I eat 1 fast food meal and I'm full for an entire day.
IF he had really eaten only one burger a day, he should still have lost a lot of weight. The denial is real.
I wouldn't even say once a month of low-end franchise fast food is healthy for an adult that doesn't routinely work out. The calorie intake is too high.
@@MemoreismI eat one McDonald's meal, and I'm sick for the rest of the day.

The torment you are in when you are stuck in food addiction to this extreme is tremendous. It seems easy to us but it is near impossible for these people. We need to not make fun of them or think badly. They are struggling and can’t get out. Him joining this program is already a huge step and it has to be very scary
A bunch of people successfully complete the program Dr Now prescribes to them. The black dude with the pony tail (forget his name) did unbelievably well and didn’t complain. It’s not like hero!n or something where they or need methadon and it sucks beyond belief and you have sleepless nights etc. The point is do 9 out of 10 meals the Dr Now way and sneak in cheat meals, just not like these people do. This guy Sean and his ding dong mom probably didn’t even attempt to follow diet.
There is 2 common factors in each one. An enabler and the actual persons selfishness/ constant over eating and snacking even when told their life is on the line … this dude in particular is horrifically maladapted. The mom is one of the worst enablers I’ve seen on the show. When the cameras aren’t there she’s like “The Doctor Doesn’t know what he’s talking about 🥴” and then in front of him she’s like “we’re trying 😥”.
He passed away unfortunately
@@citomakaveezlyexcept it is like hero!ne. When you have a food addiction, eating produces the same chemical reaction in your brain as drugs and alcohol, where doing it makes you feel great and after you feel awful so you keep chasing that feeling cuz you don’t want to feel awful, even though it’s temporary and is harming you. No, you won’t get the DTs from not eating but you can have other complications.
It’s no different than any other addiction. Addicts of drug, alcohol, smoking, gambling all have the exact same excuses and warped rationale to convince others and themselves that what they are doing is fine, even when all evidence proves it very much is not. It takes more than a diet, it takes counselling, understanding where the issue started, what the triggers are and creating healthy alternatives to deal with the triggers, emotions and anxieties. That is how you are successful at recovering. It is not purely physical. The same goes for any eating disorder.
I agree his mom is a terrible enabler and she needs the same counselling and education so she can be a better caregiver and advocate for her son. Addiction encompasses a lot of points including environment. It’s harder to stop if the people around you are pushing you to do the harmful behaviour or are giving in to you all the time, even just being around people who are overly critical and cruel about it can make it worse.
No one wants to end up like he is, not even him. But I understand the pure hopelessness of everything seeming so overwhelming and feelings of what is the point and just wanting to shut down and shut out the world. It takes strength, compassion, patience and kindness from everyone involved. It is not an easy fix. You don’t get that way over night, you won’t fix it over night.
Personally I don’t feel he should have been sent home the first time. It was clear he was not going to get the support and routine he needed at home with his mom at that point. He needed to in a place that monitored his intake and provided counselling and physical therapy to help him move with people who are not emotionally invested and are medically objective. No everyone can do it on their own. I would say in fact most people can’t do it on their own.
Thank 👏 you 👏
You think that helps anyone?
Sean's story was very sad. He had a mom whom he was very close to that enabled him, then she died. That was his only family , and after that he became really depressed and started losing will to live. Dr Now really stuck by him the entire time and did everything he could to undo all the self destructive behavior. He died, however. He really tried. 🙏🏽 RIP Sean.
Bro.. he never tried. it was a mutual slow suicide. Guy was playing DS while being told he will die any day now. He got what he deserved.
😓😓😓😓😓
His mother destroyed him. I feel so bad for him. Codependent people should not be raising kids, especially on their own.

@@rayrei8620 gospel truth!!! I treat the damage on a daily basis with addicts.
"I did try to keep him to the doctors diet" no, she literally did not.

"If he's hungry, he needs something to eat."
This kind of thinking is why he's 900lbs.
Sean deserved a much better life. The way he lived was nothing short of suffering. I hope he’s feeling much better now 🕊️
Dr Now is a Saint. He's steady helping ppl that've destroyed themselves and can't fix it.
How. Sending heaven meals
“Shaun hasn’t adapted to the new diet yet but we’re trying” said as she makes him a 1500 kcal meal.
26 just sad. Whole life ahead of Him.
They don’t feel comfortable with him being put on an 800 calorie a day diet but are fine with 10,000-20,000 calories a day?
@@Balletified this is crazy. I just did the math, and to eat 15,000 calories a day would equal 50 cheeseburgers from McDonald’s (each being 300 calories) and the cost of that would be around $139. I don’t know how these people afford that
When he said to CUT DOWN to one fast food meal per day, my jaw dropped. And his mom saying that if he’s hungry he needs to eat, there’s different types of hunger and his hunger is not physical or for survival. His mom was clearly not feeding up “nutritious” food for the diet. If they were given a proper diet plan and menu (which is most likely) it’s honestly on them if they choose to not follow it in the slightest. I don’t want to be rude by saying all this but this is tragic. I read that he died, it’s really a shame. RIP.
I like to eat what I want and feel full too, but good God....
@@noorrougelewis6704I guess theres 2 types of hunger---physical and emotional.
Physical= stomach growling, feeling weak, and feeling annoyed or moody.
Emotional=mouth watering, gravy something to munch on.

I read that both the patient and his mom died. She was such a helicopter mom that when she died, he died a short time later.
I’m always so curious how they afford all the food
Possibly while they’re filming, the show, the producers are probably the ones paying for it. If not, maybe the company TLC pays for their food because I wonder the same thing
@@enriquemeza484 I mean before they came to be on tv.
Me too. I couldn't afford half of what they go through

Sean claims disability, his mother claims a dependant and disability and they probably lived in government housing on top of that.

That comment blew me away. You're the size of 6 grown men and you think being hospitalized is excessive?
@@elizabethbest6992his mom definitely fed that to him let’s be real she just wanted to control him
He misses home snd uber eats
Sean never wanted help. Ungrateful and disrespectful. He was suicidal from the get go by extreme noncompliance. He wasted everybody's time and resources.
There was a lot more to the story than most realize. He didn't know any other way of life---the female parental unit made sure of that---so nobody can judge him accurately for his behavior when it was all he ever knew. He expired at the age of 29 in 2019; he had lost around 400 pounds, but his body was ravaged by a massive infection that resisted medication.
The woman is also deceased, sometime before her offspring's demise.
What drives me absolutely crazy is the obvious lying. It's so obvious that they are lying on this show. I mean, they don't even look like they believe the bull shit coming out of their mouth when they're saying it. Dr. Now is an angel. He is the epitome of patience and no nonsense in equal doses. I certainly couldn't do his job. The only reason he can do it so well is his genuine compassion. You would have to have above average compassion for people, or you would give up on people who are so infuriating and dishonest. He has saved so many people that he probably can't even count them all at this point. ❤
‘I’m trying to keep it down to one fast food meal a day’ - Yikes - this guy has a death wish.

Omg his mom has been the culprit the whole time. This was actual child abuse.
