• 600lb Man With Agoraph...
Hey i now have Merch!!!
sean-of-steel-...
I think this is one of my favorite episodes of my 600lb life. Michael worked so hard with both the weight loss and his mental health and his wife was so kind and supportive without enabling. So much respect
They seem like a really good couple, just watching the wife comfort him at the end of the video was really nice and such a change from the often toxic relationships displayed in My 600lb Life.
It's one of my favorites too (and Sean didn't post a video lately so I'm rewatching some of my favorites).
I was 300lbs 6 months ago and now I weigh 227 lbs as of this morning. I stopped eating fast food and going to restaurants. My appetite shrunk significantly and lost the craving for junk food. Now 80 to 90% of my diet is whole foods and the weight is just flying off my body as each week passes by.
Hell yeah that’s awesome I’m so happy for you. Your probably getting close to your goal weight. That’s super impressive you lost it that fast.
I lost 130 pounds eating McDonalds for lunch (well brunch). But it was what I ate. 1 small hamburger or 1 order of 4 nuggets. No fries. Unsweetened iced tea. (a big one :)) and I swam two hours a day all summer. Did that part anyway. My weight really is not due to eating. Hit early menopause and off it came doing exactly what I had done when not on a diet for over 20 years. In spite of increasing disability, pain, more pain, yet more pain, I have kept off that 100 for 14 years now. Some came back ONLY due to medications. I have re-lost the 30. I am still a fatass. :(
CONGRATULATIONS.. GREAT JOB..❣
Men are blessed in that way. Women, because of our hormones, can't lose weight so easily, yet men are the ones who nag at us to do so, to get down to a "sexy" size and shape. One of the many reasons I'll never get married again---I don't need someone nagging at me for a ton of reasons when he has his own issues to deal with (my ex was, probably still is, a horrid criminal, the very worst kind there is).
@@ekramer2478 Exercise..
Agoraphobia translates as "fear of the marketplace" and exists on a sliding scale of severity and functionality. My grandfather had agoraphobia. He was fine on his own farm his whole life, couldn't go to my uncle's games or visit family, but he was totally fine when a crowd of family visited. My agoraphobia leads me to struggle severely when I leave 'safe' places or I don't have a 'safe' person with me. Even then I will have panic attacks if I feel trapped or get overwhelmed. I began showing signs of agoraphobia in my teens, it became full blown after a traumatic incident that left me with PTSD.
I have found ways to diet and exercise within the prison of my disorder.
I relate to this. I've had agoriphobia since my teens as well, it led to me dropping out of highschool and I've never been able to go back. I'm 30 now and the only place I can work that's a safe space is the one gas station that has one attendent. I can't have coworkers or I have panic attacks. Life really sucks. I'm trying to get on disability since I lost my last job of 10 years for having multiple panic attacks at work. I had four years of three panic attacks a day and haven't been the same since. I feel those four years of attacks caused PTSD in irself
Yeah, it’s really the fear of panic attacks or not being able to escape. It’s sort-of misrepresented in the dictionary, is what they told us in psych (mind you, graduated in 2004, and they are constantly changing their minds so) I do suspect he diagnosed himself, because having Dr Now standing in front of the door like that should have been sending him into the stars. He couldn’t get out. He wasn’t in a safe space and he couldn’t get out.
I have mild agoraphobia that seems to come and go tied to my anxiety. I’m on medication, it helps but some days it doesn’t make a difference. I am greatful I still have a job, I end up calling out a lot. Just home to office is torture
I have it but I’m high functioning. I have a lot of panic attacks when out of the house, especially in social situations, but I got therapy when I started making excuses to skip both social and more important plans. It started with bad social anxiety and then escalated with a series of traumas. I tried to skip my own 30th birthday party and my best friend called my ass on that. She said ‘you can’t invite people over, buy a bunch of wine and snacks, and then take a bottle into your room to listen to NIN all night.’ When I said ‘clearly I can since that’s what I’m doing,’ she laid it out that she knew what was up, and didn’t want me to become Howard Hughes. I admitted that I’d called out of work twice recently claiming I had a migraine, just because I couldn’t fight the panic attacks those days, so she sat with me in my room until I was ready to re-join my party. The next day I called a therapist. I’ve found that I have to have some time to prepare. Like, I do best if I don’t just get a last minute invite. Tell me the day before, or at least earlier in the day. I also do best of I have an ‘emotional support human’ with me, like my husband or one of my close friends who knows. It’s been about 5 years since I started working on it, and I have good and bad days, and I’d be lying if I said I don’t still make excuses to not go out once in a while (usually it’s to delay grocery shopping or making a raincheck for hanging out with someone), but people don’t even notice anymore. It’s mild enough where I don’t seem visibly uncomfortable. During my time with very limited time out of the house, I learned a lot of skills. That helped a lot because now I have more to talk about and when you have lots of trades and hobbies, you want to talk to others who are into them, so it gives incentive. When the ‘vid happened, I was more than prepared to stay in. I’d done it before when I was expected to go out, so it was easy. It also helped me to see it’s actually kind of boring since it happened when I was just starting to make really big progress. So like everything, there’s different degrees, and many of us do still deal with leaving the house, usually because we have to learn to adapt. The classic image of a recluse usually ends in death, and nobody finding your body for quite some time, so many of us choose to fight it when concern of it progressing to that point comes up.
@@baileymoran8585 I love my emotional support humans. They are wonderful.
I have a very young niece that has been my biggest reason to work on going out and doing things. I don't want to miss out on her life because of my disorder. I get all sorts of fears and worries when I am out with her. My sister is a huge help with my issues and my brother in law is so chill about everything it's the best thing. I choke up sometimes with the gratitude I feel towards them.
Emotional support humans are the best people. Thanks to all of them for what they do whether they know it or not.
Introverts unite! I expect the worst out of people, I'm jaded, and I'm resigned to not being in any relationship. I've met too many callous or stupid people and I'm about done. Benevolent people are really rare. Most people want something from me.
I try to see the best in people but I’ve met some shitty people in my life.
I totally get it. It's hard to not become misanthropic when there are so many crappy people around.
How is your self esteem? I ask because the crappy people can sense if it's low, and they will gravitate toward someone with low self esteem - it makes that person an easy target.
I'm right there with you 😢😢😢
Honestly this…like 100%. I used to be very out going and extroverted, trusting…not now. Many people in my path have proven to be not so good people. I am very leery of people who love bomb me, or only come around when they have an agenda. I only have a couple people in my life I consider true friends who genuinely care and I have known them most my life.
I find that when I'm interacting with a one way street, I limit my giving to what I can do without resentment or expectation of reciprocity. Then I never get used to the point where I feel bad about it. I treat people sometimes and enjoy their company with no strings attached, then stop when I'm satisfied. If they reciprocate, I actively prefer their company by making plans with them first and that leaves less time and fewer resources for the users and takers.
The reason lots of people eat such big amounts is because their hunger is psychological, not physical. Recognising the difference and addressing the cause of the psychological hunger is the whole battle.

Most men get the M by 30
Hes not going bald
Yes. I still struggle w emotional eating and if I feel a sudden urge to eat, I have to stop and ask myself- what am I really hungry for?? Is it food or something else??
A big step for me was relearning what physical hunger felt like.
Their stomachs are also bigger the surgery cuts the stomach to the size of an egg .
I agree in many cases except in extreme poverty
Sean, you're looking great! Keep up your hard work, almost 300lbs down is amazing!
300 lbs down is so fantastic. Sean is an inspiration to anyone trying to lose weight
Sean you look amazing! What an inspiration ❤
Also agoraphobic, and some day it is absolutely crippling. I can’t leave the house and if I do, I’ll have full on panic attacks….but I also have to make a living, and for that have to put on a metaphorical mask and just deal as best I can. It’s an exhausting existence.
Same here, I have ups and downs days. Have had this for around 40 years, yes lots of Doctors, meds and therapy. Seems like I have relapses with this disorder!
He should be afraid. His gravity might pull the moon out of orbit.
@Arigator2 shut your face.
I can relate to your struggles as I do too!❤
I feel you! I'm disabled, and deal with daily agony, even tho most ppl aren't aware, I rarely leave my apartment, and when I do, the anxiety is often so horrendous, I have to rush home, and sit in the shower, to prevent a seizure, or uncontrollable vomiting...I don't ever go far; the store across the street, the beach a couple blocks away, but I only manage that once or twice a week...
Do you have any tips to keep your blood pressure down, and block things out, in public? I'm allergic to benzos, so I don't have the graces of that crutch. I'm a mess 🫨🤯😩
I have been a subscriber for two or three weeks.
I enjoy watching UA-camrs gain subscribers. Your growing pretty fast🙌🏻
You are highly entertaining.
I believe you are performing an important public service.
Your jovial comments overtake the sad music on the show. Steers people away from depression while watching.
Thank you.
Yeah! He's also from Maryland like me. I'm 35 and from Frederick MD. ❤🎉😊
Proud of your weight loss Sean! I've never been heavy so I don't understand your struggle and the people on here, that's why I'm so curious and I do feel for everyone on this show ,but they've gotta try if they wanna succeed and live.
Nothing to do with the video, just wanted to say thank you. I’ve been fighting a sugar addiction and your words of “Be your own superhero” always come to mind every time I want to give in to my cravings. I am very grateful I found your channel, and I look forward to watching all your future videos. Thank you! ✨✨
Have you ever considered reaching out to any of these people for an update? I bet you’d be a fun interviewer and I’d love to see where these people are now.
That's a great idea!
Yes! Bet it would help his channel and get him views to because so many people wonder about the folks from My 600lb life🤷♀️
That would be amazing!
Yes!
You’re a big inspiration to so many, Sean! I have been “dieting” my whole life but this is the first year I’m getting medical assistance to make a change. I have a pre diabetic diagnosis so my doctor started me on Ozempic and it’s been helping a lot combined with better diet and exercise. I’ve lost 13 lbs in a month from my highest weight of 338, just need to keep going slow and steady.
I give this man a lot of credit. He is being forward with I have a problem and I need help. He knows he needs help. With so many people coming on this show in delusions and blaming others and what not. It is refreshing to see someone being so honest about this. I mean refreshing in again he knows he cannot keep going like this. Also I 100% get the introvert lifestyle. I am an introvert and I prefer to keep to myself. But yeah I like this man. I hope he is serious about this.
Regarding doctors being hesitant to deal with scar tissue: he said he had an emergency splenectomy, so it wasn’t a nice laparoscopic operation, the surgeon had his whole hand in the dude’s belly to get it out. So there is a lot of scar tissue from all the layers of skin, muscle, and fat healing back together. Plus there’s a decent chance that there are adhesions; which is areas where the different layers got stuck together by the scar tissue. And depending on why he needed the splenectomy in the first place, there may be scar tissue and adhesions on the organs near the spleen too, which includes the stomach.
Oh wow😮
why? car accident?
Dr. Now, “Why are you here?”
Sean, “I’m here for a bubble bath!!”
😂 I cracked up laughing!! You have a great sense of humor.
Right. I love his sense of humor
How did he get there?
Agoraphobia, in many people, is an extreme avoidant behavior usually linked to PTSD. It isn't stepping outside the door necessarily; the patient might be fine until they hit a large road. Some patients will feel comfortable traveling at night (when no one is out) but unable to go out during the day.
It isn't so much a fear of the outside but of exposure. So inside the car, especially as a passenger, might be manageable. However, going into a strange building to meet someone they have never met. He is already working very hard.
Also, remember that people with anxiety disorders like this can often mask discomfort until they completely lose control and suffer a panic attack.
However, some people suffer from the extreme form where any step outside is triggering.
The key here is that the person cannot travel through the world so much that their quality of life is reduced.
He was terribly abused and had to come to terms with the trauma.
Damn Sean!!! 300 lbs down is so awesome:) please keep up the great work you're doing it's wonderful to see your great progress
Thanks you’ve always been super supportive I appreciate that a lot.
"I can't just have one chicken breast."
That's addiction. I can't just have one drink. I have an addiction.
But you have a most beautiful puppy dog !❤❤❤🐕❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹🕊🙏🏼💐🪷Much love to you, sweetheart, one day at a time hey!🎉
As an enabler, I can tell you its a lot harder than you think to say no. My father was an alcoholic and when he would call me to get him beer, he knew how to tug on your heartstrings to get it for him. I knew i shouldn't but I had a soft spot for him and it made it so much harder.
alchol is dif then food. drunks tend to get vicious.
Dr now reminds me of a little meerkat, he's so cute 😂😂
He’s very sweet, caring, and insightful. Meerkats are very cute but they’re cannibals.
You're effortlessly hilarious. Glad to be a new sub.
Thanks I appreciate that, I often just talk and people laugh when I’m not trying to be funny. Thank you for the sub
Agoraphobia isn’t just fear of leaving your home. 😊 I have it and it can be claustrophobia, like fear of being trapped in a situation you can’t escape from (ex. dentist chair, meeting, etc.).
Wouldn't any confining space equal this? Like especially your home?
Yesss. Same
@@emjayeeI actually feel safe at home. It’s crazy. I do spend hours On my porch every day.
@@avarismimi such a nuanced condition. People need to talk about these things more. Thanks for sharing truly
Mad RESPECT for loosing 300..you are a great inspiration to those who feel all is hopeless!! It comes down to lifestyle change...it was for me and I lost far less than you...best wishes on your continued journey...
We can't get enough of you either, Sean! I'm a 62 year old, Black mother of 7. I'm 5 foot mine and 180 lbs. I was 208 lbs last year this time and felt like a cow. I don't know how it feels to be so big that you need a Dr.Now in your life. I do know this....weight insecurity sucks!! Thanks Sean for all your great work!!
Same I love this channel.
I recently realized im diagnosed with Agoraphobia. Which makes sense as i have not been on my own outside for many years. i just don't feel safe and go into panic attacks when iI'm by myself. I'm also obese at 305lbs. Recently i started leaving my apartment three times a week with my BF to work out. We walk their, he helps me do excercises and we get more cardio walking back. Watching these videos has opened my eyes to my future if i don't shape up, so thank you. I honestly don't know what I'm doing in eating healthy, and can't see a dietitian because I don't have diabetes or something else that 'warrents' it. But I'm trying and will keep it up! Thanks again!
Also 2 months since i last binged!
Congratulations that’s wonderful. Walking is so good for you! I’m so glad you have a supportive best friend. Watch the episodes of my 600lb life, most bring a dietician in, and they give wonderful advice. You’ve got this! Keep going!
Loretta
There are books and you tube channels all about health and nutrition that would be helpful for you and motivating.
I could be wrong, but I think he asks why they are there to help him gauge where they are mentally. Whether they really are ready or if they want the quick fix.
Oh I know that I just am very sarcastic so I joke. He is totally valid in asking that question and your spot on.
You have kept my attention since I first encountered you. Also, this is my 3rd day of binge watching only your videos in order to get up to speed on your journey. I love all the variety. 70 in Hawaii 🌴🌺
Aloha! 🤗🌺🌴
I'm rewatching some of my favorites, since Sean hasn't posted a new one lately.
Who else wants to give him a big hug??? I genuinely hope he is doing well now ❤
Sean I love your audience is majority women. Got those crappy bros out there preaching to men about what women want without having a clue, you're clearly a down to earth guy with great takes and the audience to prove it.
My advice to him is find a friend who’s on the spectrum too, it’s great to find someone who gets in, they are judging you or thinking you’re weird for your eyes focused on the wall not their eyes. It’s easy to spot them too after a while, I wasn’t diagnosed until the late 90s, I could spot children in the school I taught in. I taught a boy who if we’d been classmates, not teacher & child we’d have been good friends. We could catch each other’s eye and say shall we go find some work to do when something less usual was happening. I remember once it was some people from a country in Africa who could stand on the spot & jump really high. We couldn’t see the point of it. When he was leaving for high school he threw his arms around me, tears in his eyes and said “I used to hate you,?but I love you now, can I still come back to help you do refreshments at events a d come to your house in school holidays?” 😂 he came here to give his parents a break, his dad had fallen out with all their family 🤷🏼♀️
Poor guy he's obviously lived a rough life, Im glad he's got her for support. I like seeing the soft side of Dr Now too.
Sean, you are an inspiration to me - 300 lbs down WOW! Makes me feel whiney because I have another 60lbs to go to reach my own target weight. I am 42 lbs down so far, no surgery. I could probably qualify, but I really want to try to get it done naturally due to my fear of surgery. LOL I enjoy your personality, and appreciate your willingness to share your experience with weight loss, and enjoy your commentary!
Thanks I still have 65 to go to my goal as well. So we’ll have to see each other at the finish line.
My schizophrenic brain can't handle being outside as well these days. If my anxiety rises too high and fast, I become catatonic and it's embarrassing. At the gym I can work with it by focusing on changing my repetitions.
Gosh, I'm really proud of you for living a full life with that particular illness. The atypical antipsychotics have come so far in the last 15 years but it's (in my opinion) by far the most difficult mental illness to treat because you can't eradicate the symptoms, no matter how much CBT or DBT or medications or patient compliance and I'm really amazed by how well you sound. There's no quick fix to any mental illness but schizophrenia is a whole other level that most people honestly can't comprehend. It sounds as if you're at a stable baseline however as well as recognize your cognitive limitations, which are indeed VERY real, as you know. So many schizophrenics lead such incredibly limited lives out of necessity (and depending upon severity of the disorder as well as how people react to meds and/or med compliance) because there's such an incredibly delicate balance going on with brain chemistry and you need to constantly be vigilant in your assessment of your state of being so that you can remove yourself to a safe place prior to a catatonic state or paralyzing confusion and inability to express your needs or desires. I cannot tell you how impressed I am by the eloquent way you express yourself and your knowledge of your condition and thank you so much for talking about it. If we don't talk about out mental illnesses, we'll never remove the stigma that prevents people from getting proper care or being misdiagnosed. I'm beyond impressed by you. You're an amazing person with a lot of insight into relationships, your personal boundaries and how to take care of yourself. I only wish I were as good as you at managing my depression and anxiety, honestly. You're an inspiration for so many. Thank you for sharing. Sending love and blessings to you on this difficult but what I believe will be a rewarding journey for you. I truly do. I believe you will find genuine love, if that's something you decide you want and I'm so happy you see the users and crap. I sure didn't my first marriage. I could certainly learn a lot from you. ❤
Three hundred pounds down is incredible, Sean. I’m a lightweight subscriber (who just enjoys your personality and sense of humor) but any weight I gain goes directly to my love handles/spare tire area. Fat distribution is so individual and can be frustrating.
I am sorry that I missed your content this morning- I’ve been moving to a new place.
That said, this is a truly heartbreaking situation😔
I’ve had some bad people come into my life but I prefer to see the best in people until they prove me wrong. I hope this man gets the help he needs🙏🏻😊
It’s okay you can be a little late long as you get to me eventually lol. Moving sucks hope your making the best of all the friends and family favors you have saved up.
@@Seanofsteel hahahaha!!! I always look forward to seeing you and watching your content 😊‼️‼️‼️And I know- moving is not fun but things could be worse. My older son is helping me so no worries 😊
I'm a Happy Hermit and am allergic to the great outdoors, so I don't get out much but have no trouble getting exercise at home. I supplement normal steps mainly inside the house with walk in place while doing other things. When younger, I had various exercise equipment at different times.
Agoraphobia is simply not an obstacle to weight loss. Refusing to reduce portion sizes is his only real obstacle.
Trying to keep it real, but someone else's opinion about you is none of your business.
i have slight agoraphobia, the last time i went out to a crowded places like a club or friends gathering was 2 years ago, im not sure what triggered it but it’s very hard for me to go into places with people i dont know, but i still push myself to go to the gym 3 times a week cause it makes me feel good
@@debbysmith5346 Absolutely but if you were referring to his response, we're in a comment section.
I agree with you so whole heartedly in a larger sense though. Think of all of the wasted time and lost self esteem and all the other issues that would greatly decrease if we didn't care what people thought of us (to a socially acceptable extent of course, I'm not advocating universal selfishness and obliviousness as a lifestyle, lol). And it's all projection and blown out of proportion anyway. The Truth is most people aren't thinking about you at all, lol. They're too busy thinking about themselves and their own lives and issues. I wish I'd known that in school, especially high school. My self esteem was far too dependent on "ehatcI THOUGHT" others thought of me...that probably was never real in the first place. What a waste. I was around 25 before I'd finally realized how incorrect my thinking was and how these baseless ideas I'd made up in my head had effected my self esteem. It was a different thing to realize, that I'd basically let other people (many I didn't even care about) shape my opinion of ME. Wow, crazy stuff looking back and I lost a lot if years of personal development during that time. Anyway, it was such freedom to finally realize I didn't need to be ANYTHING but myself (and not a felon or a couple other things,lol). I actually know so many women in their 40's and up who STILL basically dress and act and live for other people and it always reminds me how lucky I was to learn to be unapologetically myself, even if it was at 25. I can't imagine at this point living as some "phantom identity" that isn't even based in ANY TRUTH, just our sick culture combined with sometimes getting the wrong messages from peers and parents. Great comment! Thank you for reminding us all of probably the most important lesson in life.
Geez, my apologies for my crazy spellcheck and my own myriad spelling and grammar errors. I'm going to let them stand because hopefully within context, you can gather what I was spouting but I do apologize. It's pretty bad. There's one word I'm not even sure of, honestly 🤣.
I hate crowded areas but love being alone in the woods!
His wife got right on my nerves, all she did was nod her head all the way through as though she knows everything but she's still feeding him, she was nodding and taking all Dr nows information in like he was talking to her and not her husband, so I'm guessing he hushed her because she's an interfering person maybe.
Him saying "done. ...done and done" is not a good mindset. He hasn't even started yet.
@gemineye1e1even if everything was done then he would be a healthier weight
It's a regional phrase. The "done and done" means that he is agreeing to start, not that he has finished it. it doesn't mean you're "done", it means you're about to start on what someone is telling you to do. I know it's super confusing if you're not from that area.
@@lauraromdeussen864 ah! That makes sense
@@lauraromdeussen864 it means that by me too.
I was 180kg before my sleeve 12 years ago. My goal was to fit back into my school uniform, which I did 3 yrs ago. Like Sean I am over 6ft tall. Three months post op I fell pregnant with women our miracle baby after pcos all my life and being told couldn't have kids. This screwed up my initial big lossbut I am feeling motivated after watching your channel to get my shit together and get back on track.
But I’m sure you’re loving that sweet baby! Congratulations! You’ve got this, and will succeed!
Congratulations 🎈
You fell pregnant with women? Punctuation is a good idea here.
I’m 34 as well, will be 35 in January. I had WLS when I was 20 (started the process at 19). I was 330 day of surgery and as of today in 175. My lowest weight was 135 at age 30 but I wasn’t healthy at all. I have
However suffered with addictions after surgery. It all stems down to our addiction to food. ❤❤❤
We love your content Sean and I hope new subs/viewers keep pouring in! You deserve it ❤️
Thanks still kind of shocks me when you guys say words like my content and UA-camr lol. I’m just me I just enjoy seeing you guys response when I make a video. 😁
He is such a sweet man. I hope he can take off the weight.
I just fell in love with your self confidence Sean. I love it when you say “I can’t get enough of myself, I freaking love myself”! To me, a senior retired Mexican high-school teacher (I know, there’s no connection apparently) I just love it! I’m aware you’re young and sarcastic and maybe not the greatest expert on psychology or nutrition or what not but I find you so refreshingly honest and funny but also so compassionate on your remarks. Just a never ending great sense of humor and fun with you. Congrats! I hope to keep seeing you on Internet or TV (who knows?) in my near future (I’m 70).
I find his wife annoying.
Agoraphobia means you have SEVERE PANOC ATTACKS when u go outside. Ppl are still able to go to the dr and hosp etc. but they get anxiety out the ass from going out. My husband has this.
Exactly.
I struggled with agoraphobia last year, and I was getting therapy for it, I was challenged to go to a store that day, so I went to Walmart, and literally 5 seconds after I walked inside, about 10 feet from me a guy walked up to a lady behind me and stabbed her in the back 3 times. ! He didn't know her, he wanted to go back to jail. It was terrifying
Way to overcome, but damn! What rotten luck! Not quite as bad as that poor lady's luck, but still, wow! What a terrible situation
Ain’t that a bitch.
I hope he got something besides jail.
Awe. That couple is great. I hope they are both doing well.
The awesome hat is puzzle pieces which I believe is the autism awareness sign.
Sean, just as a note, baldness is determined by the maternal genes. If your Mom's Dad/your maternal grandad is bald, then that's an indicator.
My dad has only just started losing his hair and he's nearly 80 both my son's are going bald in their 30s.
Hes so immature
Right, what is up with that sparkles hat? His woman should have told him it looks ridiculous.
glad to see a commentary on one of my fav shows! i got as high as 357 but i took care of my husband that was disabled in renal failure for 6 years and if you know the caretaker mentality you just dont take care of yourself as well as them. hubby passed from covid in 2020 and now im at 263 since i guess time to take care of myself. ☕🎃
These people have to start taking accountability for their poor choices. It's not societies fault for any of this!
😂😂😂 I disrespectfully disagree!
I suffer from severe social anxiety. I hate people and being around people especially if I don't know them. When I go to a restaurant with a friend, I always ask the waiter if we can be seated somewhere away from people.
How did he meet his wife if he hates people? I have my moments with people, however you got to love yourself. You can’t blame anyone for what is going with you! He has used excuses his entire life! I love your commentary Sean! ❤❤
You brought up an excellent point. For a guy who hates everyone, he was obviously able to sell himself to his wife. Still trying to wrap my head around it?
They probably met online
@@raygentry3133He hates people, except for the ones he likes, lmao. I know a lot of people like that.
Their "inner circle" tends to be made up of people like them, so it's like part solidarity in familiar struggle and part echo chamber of 'the normies just don't get it'
I love his girls attitude. If I had her by my side at the start of my weight loss,I would have suceeded in half the time.
Scar tissue can cause a mess during abdominal surgery. It can be very difficult to cut through. It can alter the anatomy on the inside. The spleen sits very close to the stomach, so there's probably a lot of scar tissue near the stomach. Add to that 300+ lbs since he had his spleen removed, it may be even more difficult to get to.
Lot of sauces have tons of carbs too
I dont think any of us could tear ourselves away from the "Fat Camp" drama...we all got pretty invested in Petey the Camp Casanova. 🤣
I empathise with anyone with agoraphobia. I suffer from it myself. My daughter and I are the supers of our small apartment building, and I'm fine going out to clean up around the building, put out the garbage and recycling, cut the lawn, etc. because I'm still on the building property, and if I feel a panic attack coming on, I'm right there, and I know that I can get back inside quickly. But, getting on a bus to go somewhere, or walking up to the store is very hard (and usually impossible) because the farther I am from the building, the farther I am from the safety of my apartment. And since we dont have a car, I don't have the safety of that space, if I start to panic while I'm away from home.
I'm able to go out, and go farther from home, if my daughter is with me. If a family member picks us up to go to a family function at someone's home, that's usually doable, because I feel like I'm in safe spaces, with safe people, all along the way. I'm thinking the same might be happening here...he may be able to navigate public spaces more easily if his wife is with him.
I've been on meds and receiving therapy for my depression and anxiety and panic disorders for about 3 years, and last week I just started seeing a new therapist (online) to specifically address the agoraphobia. Hopefully, it helps.
I just wanted to say that i watch your videos all the time and you are doing great in your own weightloss journey! You look great, keep up the great work!
I don't believe anything he said. This man doesn't have agoraphobia. He just thinks everybody is talking about him, when he's in public. People probably ain't paying any attention to him. He claims he was abused, But, never said what the abuse was. The doctor asked him.... If you have agoraphobia, How did you meet your wife ? Neither one of them answered that question. He's Doctor shopping.
he's not agoraphobic. he has social anxiety and doesn't like people. people who are agoraphobic are afraid of actually going outside.. the sunlight and such not the people they encounter out there.
You should read this comment section, apparently it comes in all shapes and forms. I’ve learned a lot today.
That girlfriend constantly rubbing on him creeper me out lol
It was probably a calming maneuver, to help reduce his anxiety.
I always get confused between Sean's screen and Dr. Nows screen.. Trying to push the links at the end.. Ha! Great episode brother!
😮❤😎🤘
Yeah. You can say the past is the past but its not that easy. You can try but ptsd takes time.
I have agoraphobia, i honestly didnt know it had a name, but its not so much a social thing its just leaving the house in general, i recently found out my grandmother is the same way haha, its gotten better over the years and working retail to tou know.. live. I still have those thoughts of fear when im going somewhere new but i get over it because being stuck in the same routine is no way to live, ill probably have it for life but ill live with it
My son has agoraphobia but he has gone the opposite way, he doesn’t eat often, he is 41 and has a 28 inch waist!! Now his landlord wants his house back after five years living there my son is being evicted, how hard that is going to be for someone with agoraphobia !!!
i have agoraphobia 😢 i'm over weight too, it makes it hard cause i can only walk no more than 6 houses away on a good day
I had agoraphobia growing up. Ive overcame it. It made my childhood and high school yeara hell on earth. I was a walking panic attack daily. Unmedicated at that bc i was so young antidepressants dont work for my anxiety. Its not a life at all. I still battle anxiety but as i got older i faced alot of my fears and overcame most of them i still have anxiety 😢.
This is probably one of my fave episodes as well as Brittany and her husband. As well as the young ginger guy I forgot his name. Love watching these people succeed and have unconditional love and support.
I always taught my kids there's no such word as cant
Wow good job on the lbs 👇 300 hundred just WOW 😳😳😳
I really liked this Episode! It was one of the more interesting ones! I could have watched the full hour of this instead of the 21min! Can you show the full Episode? It just would be good to hear him reflect on his struggles & see his progress! MANY ppl get Home Bound for various reasons & turn to Food as their Comfort! I actually went thru similar situations a couple of times in my Life which led to a type of Agoraphobia! I just COULDN'T get out & around ppl, other than a Dr Appointment, but even going to a Referral Dr Appt caused me terrible Anxiety! I developed ALOT of Stomach pain along with that Anxiety, just like I did when I was a child! It didn't matter if I was happy or just needed to go out! But I began to use my Faith to Address that Anxiety/Depression bc I realized it was all based on FEAR!
F-false
E-evidence
A-appearing
R-real
Eventually I was no longer a Victim of Fear, but a VICTOR! And in the Meantime I lost 75lbs! (alot of it was bc I was to sick to eat)
I love you
This is the first person that has not lied to Dr now he's telling it like he lives it
Oh and babe how it works is that it comes in waves… I can be very extroverted and people would NEVER know but then randomly one day you wake up with this crazy anxiety where you do not even want to get out of bed. I personally will eat nothing or shower for a week no personal upkeep you hate using the bathroom and that you even exist. People seeing you and feeling sorry for you ughhh it’s like you want help but you don’t know what or how and you’ve tried so many things so it becomes harder and harder to maintain enthusiasm and optimism
Im immediately struck by the fact that his girlfriend is constantly offering him comfort and support but he is totally unresponsive.
He’s on the autism spectrum. That could be part of how it manifests in his case.
I had my sleeve done 7 years ago. After I had complications and had a few stomach surgeries. Had a vertical c section, gallbladder removed, hernia repair 2 times, and a fdl tummy tuck. I had really bad reflux and it was destroying my esophagus, stomach, and the bottom of my stomach from ulcers. I had to have a revision because I was not able to get food down, would get stuck and it was so painful. My dr said I had alot of scar tissue but because I wasn't as big as before it wasn't a problem, but the dr said heavier people he said the tools sometimes are hard to move around while performing the surgery and that it could be longer under general so it just makes it more of a risk especially if they're having to remove the tissue.
YES love after lockup is my guilty pleasure!! I like whatever you do. Any show, I laugh keep up the great work inever miss a episode!!
I don't buy into the "carbs are evil" theory. You need carbs to keep glucose levels steady. Also, traditionally Asian cultures eat lots of rice and Mediterranean Cultures eat lots of pasta and they don't have the weight issues America has.
They aren’t evil but do turn to sugar in your body. Asian cultures eat it traditionally with lean meats like fish. Also they walk a lot more then us a car is a rarity train and walking to get around. I love Asian culture always fascinated me.
Glucose can literally be made by your body. (Gluconeogenesis)
You don't need carbs to keep your glucose levels up. You don't even need glucose to be "up." It is completely safe, normal, and healthy to go into ketosis and apoptosis. It's weird to have whole metabolic pathways that are never used.
We evolved with feast and famine conditions, we got "fat" through the summer and fall and had "lean" months. Even after agriculture was mastered we had lean months. Your body is designed to go without.
Asians and Mediterranean cultures also have cultural disapproval of weight gain and gluttony. Check out Korean and Italian beauty standards.
@@jdhutchinson506 Thanks but I have DM and an endocrinologist and nutritionist who have instructed me differently.
Reducing carbohydrates does shed retained water fast, and for obese people that retained water can be considerable. I heard one doctor estimate that his super morbidly obese patient had 1/3 of his weight as retained water.
Lower carbohydrate intake can be beneficial for some conditions, but for many people they just need to get down to a more reasonable intake. That doesn't mean they need to extremely restrict carbs. But they will be converted to stored fat if the intake is way higher than the body can use for immediate energy needs and can eliminate as waste.
I lost 50lbs in 4 months by following a low-FODMAP diet and I ate tons of rice and potatoes on it. We all process sugars a but differently based on our bodies. I can't handle FODMAP sugars and thin out while pigging out on carbs.
That hat is fresh tho 💯
I know he wants to come if confident but it’s pretty dismissive to be all “done and done”. He says it repeatedly as if losing hundreds of pounds is as simple as dr now saying “you need to”. It’s his life so hopefully he’s successful…but that attitude shows me he’s a bit detached from reality
People with a fear of going out and drawing attention to themselves often wear rainbow bowler hats I’ve noticed. SMH
Sorry, I was distracted yesterday and didn't have the chance to check. Congrats, kiddo! You made your first 100k. I am so proud of you. Keep goiing, keep soaring. Cheers, 🎈🎉🎉🎊🎊🎊🎖
Im 17 and ive had agoraphobia since i was about 13. i can barely leave my room. i had to be homeschooled for high school, and all my old friends have jobs, can drive, and are thriving. im stuck in my room, doing nothing but playing games and sleeping. If i have to leave the house, its because im physically dragged to the car. my room is my safe space, but if people come over, i feel like i have no safe space and i panic. its scary
Would love to have some updates
agoraphobia and a fancy hat do not go together
Right!?!
Most relateable one yet.
I agree Sean. That hat is awesome!
I have stainless steel Harrington rods in my spine, connecting 7 vertabra, and i never set off metal detector at airports.
Rice Isn't empty carbs.... Is literally him eating 2-6 cups in one meal. That's upwards of 1000 plus calories just for rice.
As you use up the glucose in your liver, you lose significant water because the two are bonded until the glucose is used. So yeah you lose alot of water with keto
A fishing pole.! Lol
Nothing wrong with being an introvert, I'm 40 years old as of 2/22/24, with 2 underaged children.... I've been a loner all of my life.... Not a " people person" at all ( my children are an exception, of course) 😊
No friends/no unnecessary drama💯
I agree Sean. We make ourselves believe that people are thinking so much about us when they look at us. Most often they don't even see us and even if they do, it's a moments thought and they move on. I might see a very large person and notice how big they are but in my mind I'm not judging them or hating them. Worrying excessively about how strangers are judging us is something that is usually not founded in reality.
he's not agoraphobic, he just tells himself that constantly and he believes it, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to go to that meeting, has anyone ever seen that movie "Copycat" with Sigourney Weaver.. its about a serial killer that copies the attacks of other serial killers and attacks Sigourney Weaver who is a public speaker, in a bathroom and tries to kill her but she survives , she then becomes an Agoraphobic, and whenever she tries to leave her apartment, she starts getting dizzy and almost passes out... that's real Agoraphobia, this guy is just afraid of judgment and is cowering in his house about it.... Look we all are afraid of judgment and we all dislike people at times, but if we give the vibe that we are easily picked on and afraid, people will jump on that like hyenas, we have to be strong and even when we are afraid and terrified of being judged... keep going.. just fake it, don't look at people, just do your thing and keep on moving.. you will eventually make it and will love yourself for being strong, and will be much MUCH happier, you got this!!.... also this is Justin Assanti from the infamous Steven Assanti episode, just dressed differently... and if its not him... then this is his doppelganger LOL
Thank you Sean. You’re so dam funny with your wisdom. Always makes my day 😃
I’m agoraphobic as well- it deters me from leaving home to the point I won’t go outside for months at a time, and it’s absolute hell sometimes
" ... so, you're saying there's a chance ... " [ about 1 in a million ... ]
It was def good to see Dr. Now showing some concern on the mental side right away…Yeah I usually don’t like bowler hats, per sé, but that man’s hat looked good on him and it had puzzle pieces on it. So it was def cool.
Signed T
Sean most people w agoraphobia are OK if they have a safe person with them - in his case his wife is one and that’s how he got there. No need for blindfold to get him out of the house.
Thanks!
Thanks appreciate you 70 in Hawaii lol
Hubby and I had switch done went to Japanese 3 months later and split chicken and veggies (no rice) seeing people doing double rice and the heaping plate was us before and we would eat it all! Was a real
eye opener seeing portion sizes!
This makes me so mad! I've been agoraphobic and I couldn't leave the house hardly at all! I couldn't work for years. This guy is NOT agoraphobic.
