My 600-Lb Life: Penny Saeger’s Weight Loss Journey
Penny was so determined during her early days with Dr. Now. The My 600-Lb Life star quickly lost enough weight to qualify for bariatric surgery. However, her progress suddenly stopped after getting the operation. This led to Dr. Now making assumptions that his patient wasn’t following his orders properly. Penny insisted that she was still doing the necessary steps to shed pounds. But Dr. Now believed she may be snacking.
He was also upset about how she missed multiple appointments, refusing to leave her bed. This made Dr. Now think that she was avoiding their appointments, ultimately leading to the surgeon’s decision to part ways with Penny. Penny only dropped 35 pounds after working with Dr. Now for 12 months. She ended her episode at 495 lbs.
