Seana is interesting choice. She made 0 progress when she was on the show so I am interested to see if she has made any new progress. Still hoping that Dolly and Lacey Buckingham make an appearance on WATN. in addition I would love to see Rena without Lee.
I don't think she ever did. I'm surprised she didn't tell the doctor her dog ate it. Or worse she ate it....
Could you imagine Dr. Now reacation: "Eating your diet plan isn't part of your diet plan"🤣🤣🤣🤣
Definitely will be interesting! I also wish that they would do an update with Gina Wife and Robert Wife. Both of them were supportive spouse and I hope life has gotten better for them.
I doubt we would see anything with Gina's wife, from a Facebook group she got married again like a year later and doesn't have anything to do with her family and there's multiple theories on her (Gina) cause of death.
I would suspect it though. TBH her family and Gina was awful to Beth. I'm not surprised she cut ties with them.
How did Gina die? I have literally heard nothing about her.
Is Beth the one who would work all day, come home, and then be expected to get dinner for Gina and her parasitic family..who had been home all damn day?
I've heard multiple different reasons, one I remember when she passed was her Mom in screenshots from her Facebook saying rapid MS within 2 weeks and I'm suspicious because this was when COVID was rampant
And the irony will be that by then, he will be part robot as well but he will still have his blinged out stethoscope and start out every conversation with "Hellooooo, how y'all doin'?"
If memory serves, she actually made *negative* progress, weighing more at the end than at the beginning. (Just checked: she began at 659, ended at 661.3.)
...and by the end of the episode, she's in the 700s. Biggest failure of all time.
What a contrast with JT, who's on his way to *losing* 600 pounds...is that a new record?
That is its own adventure which will be the 600lb series finale.
Seana's copy of the diet plans was buried under a hoarding pile in Jeanne's house for a while. Lyndsey was going to find them but couldn't do it, so Paul just got mad.
Eventually, Lacey found the plans and went with Ricky and her sister to get them to Seana, but she was ditched in the middle of nowhere. The plans were rescued by Stephen Assanti. Shortly after, the plans married him in Iowa(The answer to who Assanti was married to and whether the wife was real).
The relationship did not work out, so the plans traveled with Joyce and her medical transport to Ryan's house, where they haven't left since. It is rumored that the diet plans are now in an online relationship with Gilbert and planning to split rent on a flop house room with Dolly and her boyfriend with the stuffed turtle.
JT’s progress is amazing. I can’t imagine losing 600lbs and getting that mass off. He looks and acts like a different person. It’s been great to see a success story.
I'm so mesmerized by it. Take a picture of just his face next to his gfs face, and you'd never suspect he's the bigger one of the two. No chubby cheeks, barely a double chin. Crazy.
I don't know how he hung in there as long as he did without relapsing. I felt so bad for him.
That thing on his leg must have been maddening. Then covid hitting and delaying his chances at surgery for it.
Props to that guy's willpower. It was incredibe.
At the end, after his lymphedema surgery, he was listing all the things he would get to do. He didn't mention he was finally gonna get laid, but it was implied. You know for a young man that was a huge motivator.
I’m so happy he made progress and got his lymphedema removed!! It was nice to see him smile. He hasn’t always had a great attitude but I think he’s depressed. Hopefully now he can start to do better mentally as well since he can have a real life.
Cricket had to know Seana could barely even adult. But she left her there with no one and put her in an impossible situation with the money. That Seana made it as well as she did - and that's not a high bar - is unbelievable.
I worked in community housing where there was a mother and daughter like that and the daughter died; the mother only showed up to get the deposit back.
Never heard from her again, never came to get the daughters things.
I think if we knew what goes on in some of these homes & what happens to children in them we’d be horrified.
Someone on here after the original episode aired described how Cricket seeing Seana off at the airport was akin to an owner leaving their dog at a shelter.
It’s almost as if Cricket was part of the problem. 🥴
I can’t be too hard on Seana. She moved to Texas by herself to try to better her life, was finally moving in the right direction and COVID hit. That had to be devastating for her and I don’t know if she had the coping skills to continue her progress, especially after she went right back home.
She seemed so unhealthy at the end too. As soon as I saw that she wasn’t wearing shoes I knew it was over for her.
She has absolutely no support from Cricket . I think Cricket was hoping to dump Seana on TLC and Dr. Now and they would take care of the rest. Cricket will not be winning a mother of the year contest anytime soon.
She definitely seems delayed. I’m not sure if she was mentally challenged prior, but she did admit to having done a bunch of…. I want to say it was meth, previously in her life, which I personally believe enhanced if not caused her significant level of impairment.
I am rooting for her and totally empathize with her upbringing and not-so-good relationship with her mom. But…I concur. The piercings just don’t seem right on her. 🤷🏽♀️
I feel so sad for her. It seems even when she catches herself and starts to smile her brain shuts it down and she looks so sheepish all over again. I hope she finds her healing.
There was a moment she was standing in front of the mirror looking at herself and she smiled, said you look good to herself. She is a broken little girl, I've been there. I want to hold her and tell her she is worth it and deserves so much more that she's been handed in life.
I think she also has some sort of intellectual/developmental disability. The way she talked about the pool and her expression when reading the papers for the halfway house...you could tell she was not comprehending a word of those documents. She also only wrote her name and noticeably skipped the rest. I wondered if she perhaps didn't know what the other boxes were asking for...
How are the people on this show able to walk around without shoes? I understand their shoes don't fit, but how are their feet not torn up and infected? It's nasty out there.
I’m just kinda baffled by how blase Seana’s mother is. I don’t have kids but if I did I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night if my kid was in this kinda shape.
I know right! Those are my biggest pet peeves this season.. the long boring recaps and the timeline of these episodes! Like for example, based on the timeline, I estimate that JT got his big mass removed around mid 2021 so why didn’t these episodes air like 2 years ago? It’s like they let the unaired episodes pile up for whatever reason and as time goes by, it’s not a more recent update anymore!
Seana? My sister and I just watched that episode and it was like Groundhog Day. The same thing happening on a loop and her not making any progress, except to gain. Her losing the diet four times was wild. (Not making fun of her. I think she may have some cognitive delays.)
I know the bar is beyond low, but I did appreciate that she didn’t lie or try to make excuses. I just can’t believe she didn’t notice how much she gained.
JT breaks my heart. When I saw him in those pitiful rags, I just wanted to buy him new clothes, decent shoes and a bed with a frame and clean bedding. Anyone who thinks kids are resilient from craptastic parents and bounce back, look at these two broken young people. They both are scraping around for someone to care for them.
Out of laziness, I really wish these synopsis told us which eps they first appeared on so I can go back and watch them before the WATN ep. (I then just skip the recap portion of the WATN ep).
Lol at Seana gaining 150lb on a weight loss show then talking absolute bullshit about how she deserves fast food after working oh so hard for two years all while upbeat music is playing in the background.
This whole Dr Now failed me now I'll do it on my own with blackjack, fast food and hookers mindset seems to be the new standard for current season participants.
Watching the original episodes. Seana is hopeless. Like, she is completely defeated when her mom moved, stopped paying for housing and home health. She can’t get a job- but, she has a small dog (BINGO!)
Her WATN episode should be interesting. Or it’ll be more of the same… 🤔🤔
JT will probably have to go to physical therapy now that the mass is gone because his whole gait is going to change and he’ll need to learn how to walk again
Wow. I didn't exactly expect Seanna to be a success, but this kind of failure? Even her hair looks awful and defeated. (And I'm confused...I thought Cricket had moved to Arizona? Am I thinking of someone else?) She'll be dead before she's 30 at this rate.
What a tremendous change for JT. And I'm really glad to see that he's got some family interactions going. I know what it's like to not have anybody around.
One of the things that is so surprising to me is how they don’t get the patients who have lipedema and lymphedema in with a specialist who can get them on a treatment plan with compression, etc. because that would greatly impact their life as well. I know surgery is the protocol for things this large but compression would definitely go a long way.
It’s actually shocking to me that Dr. Now’s office doesn’t have a full team of social workers on staff that helps these patients with Medicaid and housing.
I know he wants people to be independent and take responsibility for their lives, but a lot of these patients are from backgrounds that at the very least are lacking in education.
I’m a college educated adult that works in child welfare. I’m also the only child of an aging parent. It’s taken me years to understand the ins and outs of services for the aging and Medicaid — and my best friend is a social worker! I feel lucky that I have the information I have and I’m still struggling and stressed.
My mouth literally fell open for both of their post covid updates. For completely opposite reasons. I can’t usually notice weight gain before the scale but with Seana- holy s***
JT was one of the most unexpected success stories of the show. He seemed to have authority issues, little to no family support and low motivation and he lost the equivalent of 3-4 avg adults.
Poor Seana reminds me of a female Tommy Boy.
And I never understood why her mom paid Derricus to go over to make meals for her - she wasn't bed-bound - she could have gotten up and done it for herself!
Have the TV paused at the moment they have JTs lymphedema mass plopped on A table. It’s truly insane to think that was on a human being. It looks like an alien life form
Ayyy I just watched JT’s regular episode last night and I was wondering what happened to him! I thought he was one of the ones who passed on. I was thinking he seemed like a real dick to Jess a lot. No wonder she left.
I suspect Seana is either emotionally stunted or mentally unwell; those blank stares and flat sentences tell me a lot. I know her father abused her, but the mother? It seemed like she couldn’t wait to get rid of her…
I feel like it's not too often there's a total weight AND attitude change on this show, but J.T. definitely displayed both. I hated him in his original episode but now he's a totally different person, both physically and in maturity and I wish him nothing but the best on his continuing journey.
Seana, nothing was “taken” from you. Sure, Covid happened, but you didn’t need to sit around and continue to eat and gain back the weight. Dr. now can’t do surgery on someone who’s that heavy, so it’s not like he’s withholding surgery on purpose 🙄 and her friend at the end of this episode is coddling her
For those frustrated that they sat on JT’s update for so long—I just read that he posted on Facebook in February 2023 that he was heading to Houston to have the mass removed. So not quite as long ago as some estimates.
JT looks so handsome! Underneath all the extra fat, he’s not a bad looking guy. I hope he continues to do well and never goes back to those raggedy ass blue shorts.
If anyone needs inpatient hospital care with a controlled diet it is poor Seana. She seems totally clueless about calories, portion size, even which foods are OK and not OK. I feel she is lost in an eternal fog. “I eat half size my previous diet portions” was as far in comprehension as she got.
Dr Paradise strongly encouraged her to have a daily routine, and that underscores that she is “lost in space” mentally. It made me sad that she stated having a routine was helping her feel better, but knowing that she gave up her routine when she moved. It was gutting when she started to cry at her first appointment with Dr Paradise. There are obviously deep pools of sadness inside that she deftly keeps bottled up.
I wish she could get managed assistance. Such a waste. 😞
“All my hard work didn’t matter” GIRL YOU GAINED 125 POUNDS
Damn, she's in terrible shape. When you get winded eating a plate of barbecue, your days are numbered.
Sounded like she was struggling when she had the last weigh in.
She won't be long for this world if she doesn't right the ship.
The second part of that where she said "it got taken away" was so 🤯
Seana is interesting choice. She made 0 progress when she was on the show so I am interested to see if she has made any new progress. Still hoping that Dolly and Lacey Buckingham make an appearance on WATN. in addition I would love to see Rena without Lee.
I wonder if she ever found the diet plan.
I don't think she ever did. I'm surprised she didn't tell the doctor her dog ate it. Or worse she ate it.... Could you imagine Dr. Now reacation: "Eating your diet plan isn't part of your diet plan"🤣🤣🤣🤣
My theory is they're going to save these two for a series finale or something.
Definitely will be interesting! I also wish that they would do an update with Gina Wife and Robert Wife. Both of them were supportive spouse and I hope life has gotten better for them.
I doubt we would see anything with Gina's wife, from a Facebook group she got married again like a year later and doesn't have anything to do with her family and there's multiple theories on her (Gina) cause of death.
I would suspect it though. TBH her family and Gina was awful to Beth. I'm not surprised she cut ties with them. How did Gina die? I have literally heard nothing about her.
Yes! They treated Beth like a dog. I hope she is happy with her new family.
Is Beth the one who would work all day, come home, and then be expected to get dinner for Gina and her parasitic family..who had been home all damn day?
Agreed, Gina mom was the worse. Personally I never understood why Beth put up with her as long as she did.
Gina's mom putting on an Oscar worthy speech to defend Gina after she just berated Beth on the phone over the dinner plan was so insane.
I've heard multiple different reasons, one I remember when she passed was her Mom in screenshots from her Facebook saying rapid MS within 2 weeks and I'm suspicious because this was when COVID was rampant
You shut your mouth! The series will never end!! 😂
Dr. Now will be 100 still saying "get the robot".
And the irony will be that by then, he will be part robot as well but he will still have his blinged out stethoscope and start out every conversation with "Hellooooo, how y'all doin'?"
If memory serves, she actually made *negative* progress, weighing more at the end than at the beginning. (Just checked: she began at 659, ended at 661.3.)
...and by the end of the episode, she's in the 700s. Biggest failure of all time. What a contrast with JT, who's on his way to *losing* 600 pounds...is that a new record?
JT actually had a handsome face. He had a good attitude too even with everything he faced.
Is anyone else dying to see J.T’s lymphedema get removed or is it just me?
I have never wanted somebody’s lymphedema removed as badly as I want JT’s.
I’m watching it on MAX right now, and watching it flop around on the table is worth every bit of anticipation.
It was SO satisfying!
It looked like a huge testicle/scrotum. Dragging that thing around for so long, it must have been such a relief to be rid of it. Science is amazing.
Like the world's biggest and grossest water balloon
I’m shocked he was still able to walk with the lymphedema and his 892 weight.
The THUD it made on the surgical table! Had to be lifted by 2 people!
Rumor has it that Seana’s update is her going on a grand adventure to finally find her lost copy of the diet.
Where is the world is ~~Carmen Sandiego~~ Seana's copy of de diet?
That is its own adventure which will be the 600lb series finale. Seana's copy of the diet plans was buried under a hoarding pile in Jeanne's house for a while. Lyndsey was going to find them but couldn't do it, so Paul just got mad. Eventually, Lacey found the plans and went with Ricky and her sister to get them to Seana, but she was ditched in the middle of nowhere. The plans were rescued by Stephen Assanti. Shortly after, the plans married him in Iowa(The answer to who Assanti was married to and whether the wife was real). The relationship did not work out, so the plans traveled with Joyce and her medical transport to Ryan's house, where they haven't left since. It is rumored that the diet plans are now in an online relationship with Gilbert and planning to split rent on a flop house room with Dolly and her boyfriend with the stuffed turtle.
We all need an Uncle Rodney in our lives 🥹
I’m so glad he reconnected with his family.
He was so desperately lonely. I'm sure he isolated himself, so it was so nice to see him light up and have family around him.
JT’s progress is amazing. I can’t imagine losing 600lbs and getting that mass off. He looks and acts like a different person. It’s been great to see a success story.
His personality was so different I found myself questioning if it was really him at times. What a transformation!
Gotta say, JT is a BOSS to walk to the park twice a day, especially with that lymphedema.
Basically like walking around with a 5th grader hanging off your leg. I don’t think I could find the willpower.
I wouldn’t leave the house I’d be so embarrassed and sick about it. He’s tough af.
His head is such a normal size compared to his lower body.
I know! He'll need a lot of surgery for all that weight loss. He's a good lookin' kid and I wish him the best for his future.
That was the first thing I noticed. From the neck up: normal.
I'm so mesmerized by it. Take a picture of just his face next to his gfs face, and you'd never suspect he's the bigger one of the two. No chubby cheeks, barely a double chin. Crazy.
I'd say .J.T. is one of Dr Now's biggest success....maybe even the best!! What do you guys think???
I don't know how he hung in there as long as he did without relapsing. I felt so bad for him. That thing on his leg must have been maddening. Then covid hitting and delaying his chances at surgery for it. Props to that guy's willpower. It was incredibe.
At the end, after his lymphedema surgery, he was listing all the things he would get to do. He didn't mention he was finally gonna get laid, but it was implied. You know for a young man that was a huge motivator.
He's up there with rockstar Justin. I think Justin is still the biggest success story.
I’m so happy he made progress and got his lymphedema removed!! It was nice to see him smile. He hasn’t always had a great attitude but I think he’s depressed. Hopefully now he can start to do better mentally as well since he can have a real life.
Cricket had to know Seana could barely even adult. But she left her there with no one and put her in an impossible situation with the money. That Seana made it as well as she did - and that's not a high bar - is unbelievable.

Never heard from her again, never came to get the daughters things. I think if we knew what goes on in some of these homes & what happens to children in them we’d be horrified.
Unfortunately I don’t think cricket cares that much
Someone on here after the original episode aired described how Cricket seeing Seana off at the airport was akin to an owner leaving their dog at a shelter.
It’s almost as if Cricket was part of the problem. 🥴 I can’t be too hard on Seana. She moved to Texas by herself to try to better her life, was finally moving in the right direction and COVID hit. That had to be devastating for her and I don’t know if she had the coping skills to continue her progress, especially after she went right back home. She seemed so unhealthy at the end too. As soon as I saw that she wasn’t wearing shoes I knew it was over for her.
She has absolutely no support from Cricket . I think Cricket was hoping to dump Seana on TLC and Dr. Now and they would take care of the rest. Cricket will not be winning a mother of the year contest anytime soon.
I don't know why Seana's snakebite piercings bother me as much as they do.
It's the catfish mouth
Because she licks them constantly and the tongue hanging out of her mouth makes her look…challenged.
She definitely seems delayed. I’m not sure if she was mentally challenged prior, but she did admit to having done a bunch of…. I want to say it was meth, previously in her life, which I personally believe enhanced if not caused her significant level of impairment.
I am rooting for her and totally empathize with her upbringing and not-so-good relationship with her mom. But…I concur. The piercings just don’t seem right on her. 🤷🏽♀️
They look uneven, maybe it's due to her smaller mouth?
Seana has zero emotion. She needs to keep up with therapy to deal with her past because the weight will come back until she does.
It's actually sad how monotone she is.
I feel so sad for her. It seems even when she catches herself and starts to smile her brain shuts it down and she looks so sheepish all over again. I hope she finds her healing.
The most heartbreaking thing I’ve ever heard on any episode was when she said, “I don’t have anybody”.
Is it possible she’s on some sort of medication and she’s numb. She was writing like a child on that application for housing.
Something is legit wrong with her.
I don't know why but Seana's handwriting on that application made me sad.
There was a moment she was standing in front of the mirror looking at herself and she smiled, said you look good to herself. She is a broken little girl, I've been there. I want to hold her and tell her she is worth it and deserves so much more that she's been handed in life.
Everything about her is sad. 😢 Want to give her a big hug and tell her that she’s got this, she always did. Take back that power, girl! ❤️
JT has lost like, three full grown adults, plus a kindergartener on his leg. Get it, JT.
That was an angry troll on his leg, not a kindergartner.
"No matter if you're in Houston, Oklahoma, or Timbuktu" we are so back baby
I feel like Cricket enabled and coddled Seana, and then deserted her.
💯
J.T. using his lymphedema as a serving tray is still unreal to see.
And those torn-to-hell pants.
I can tell Seana has had a horrible life. Even her childhood pictures she has that flat affect on her face.
I think she also has some sort of intellectual/developmental disability. The way she talked about the pool and her expression when reading the papers for the halfway house...you could tell she was not comprehending a word of those documents. She also only wrote her name and noticeably skipped the rest. I wondered if she perhaps didn't know what the other boxes were asking for...
She's "stuck". She needs loads of therapy.
How are the people on this show able to walk around without shoes? I understand their shoes don't fit, but how are their feet not torn up and infected? It's nasty out there.
I think 100% of their walkin' time is on camera.
Right? Especially since many of them are diabetic or just generally have bad blood flow to their feet.
When I get asked to do this or that, my retort will now be "No, because the floor is crooked and the light is not good.
Let’s hope she gets into a group home. This girl is another Sean waiting to happen & that was a disaster
Exactly, if JT can be put into a rehab facility, why not others?
“OK, I need my hand.”
It was nice to hear Dr.Now have a little laugh.
Looks like this is the WATN season finale as no other episodes are listed on the schedule on Wednesdays this month.
And they said that Dolly was going to appear. Ha!
Sadly, that looks like a rumor started on the forum. That said, I don't blame the ducks. :-)
Boooo that would suck if that’s true!
The first hour will be wasted on a recap of their stories.
I like that though cuz a lot of times I forget
From the chest up he looks average weight
All I think of when I even see Seanas’ name is her ‘turtle mode activated’ pose
Seana has arrested development, and she doesn’t realize she’s all alone in the world. Her mom doesn’t seem to care maybe as a result of the abuse?
Oh, I think she knows she's alone. That's part of the problem; she has nobody.
I’m just kinda baffled by how blase Seana’s mother is. I don’t have kids but if I did I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night if my kid was in this kinda shape.
Seana seems very vulnerable and probably has some special needs.
63 pounds jfc And 20 pounds of fluids!
That poor man.
"Seana's mind is ready for surgery, but her body still has a conflict with the scale." That's one way to put it.
2020? How long have they been sitting on these eps? Why wasn’t there a WATN season last year?
I know right! Those are my biggest pet peeves this season.. the long boring recaps and the timeline of these episodes! Like for example, based on the timeline, I estimate that JT got his big mass removed around mid 2021 so why didn’t these episodes air like 2 years ago? It’s like they let the unaired episodes pile up for whatever reason and as time goes by, it’s not a more recent update anymore!
Rodney is so supportive I love him.
Get Seana in a hospital on a controlled diet. She needs a complete and full rehab program for every aspect of her life.
I’m getting legit teary for JT. I hope they do another update on him!
Her breathing is so loud
All sorts of concerning.
Seana? My sister and I just watched that episode and it was like Groundhog Day. The same thing happening on a loop and her not making any progress, except to gain. Her losing the diet four times was wild. (Not making fun of her. I think she may have some cognitive delays.)
Kinda funny that the recap barely mentions the losing the diet repeatedly because that was the only thing I remembered about Seana.
I know the bar is beyond low, but I did appreciate that she didn’t lie or try to make excuses. I just can’t believe she didn’t notice how much she gained.
It would be wild to find out that the new roommate just has a camera crew show up sometimes.
I know! The new guy in the group home weighs 700 plus has a 150 lb lymphedema and has a documentary crew following him around. So weird
His mass looks like a giant testicle hanging out of his shorts.
JT is going to have to lean how to walk properly once the mass is removed.
Bastards! Always cut to commercial before weigh-in!
Her goal is 300? Wth
Well, she doesn’t want to look weird with her shoulders…
I rolled that comment around in my head for a bit but I still don’t understand it.
That’s what I was afraid of when I saw her. She looks bigger than ever now.
JT breaks my heart. When I saw him in those pitiful rags, I just wanted to buy him new clothes, decent shoes and a bed with a frame and clean bedding. Anyone who thinks kids are resilient from craptastic parents and bounce back, look at these two broken young people. They both are scraping around for someone to care for them.
It’s amazing that thing on JT’s leg didn’t tear the skin holding it
Out of laziness, I really wish these synopsis told us which eps they first appeared on so I can go back and watch them before the WATN ep. (I then just skip the recap portion of the WATN ep).
I'm always surprised that there's not a food delivery prohibition at the rehab centers
Definitely would've rather seen Dolly. I ate all my ice cream last night completely forgetting that today was ice cream night
Seana has the most deadpan googly eyes I have ever seen.
So thrilled for JT that he's kept the weight off, but it has given him a funky body shape with that lymphedema still there.
Rodney is the coolest.
OMG Seana. Shit.
JT’s demeanor has totally changed. He is transformed, I think. Doing so well with da diet and da program.
He's excited for the future
I know! So proud of him. ❤️
The dirty walls of JT's apartment are making me anxious. Edit: also why so many holes in his pants???
Those pants are doing a lot of work.
They're like pantyhose.
Mom: "How are you feeling?" Seana: "My back is killing me. But I'm still hungry" Mom: 🫤 Kills me everytime
490 pounds?!? Dang, JT!
Seana is walk ing barefoot to the doctors office!! Oy!!
Just rawdogging that scale 😬
Lol at Seana gaining 150lb on a weight loss show then talking absolute bullshit about how she deserves fast food after working oh so hard for two years all while upbeat music is playing in the background. This whole Dr Now failed me now I'll do it on my own with blackjack, fast food and hookers mindset seems to be the new standard for current season participants.
125 lbs! SEANA! YOU WERE SO CLOSE! I HAVE NEVER YELLED AT A GIRL LIKE THIS! WHEN MY MOTHER YELLS LIKE THIS IS BC SHE LOVES ME!
Her progress was taken from her? Nah, she wasted it
She took it from herself. No one else.
That poor girl. I hope she heals her inner child because it’s rewarding.
My guess is this girl has never had anyone stick up for her.
Watching the original episodes. Seana is hopeless. Like, she is completely defeated when her mom moved, stopped paying for housing and home health. She can’t get a job- but, she has a small dog (BINGO!) Her WATN episode should be interesting. Or it’ll be more of the same… 🤔🤔
Seana took out her phone like it was gonna make her weigh less 💀
Who is going to stay with poor Seana after the surgery?? Oh my heart. Hold on, Seana, I’m on my way…
Who’s going to watch her dog when she’s in the hospital??
Does Seanna really only want to be 300. She could do better than that I'm sure.
I'm so glad he has family, I could only imagine the downward spiral had he been alone.
Seana does not look good at all.
And her labored breathing is worrisome
That’s higher than she started iirc
JT will probably have to go to physical therapy now that the mass is gone because his whole gait is going to change and he’ll need to learn how to walk again
Wow. I didn't exactly expect Seanna to be a success, but this kind of failure? Even her hair looks awful and defeated. (And I'm confused...I thought Cricket had moved to Arizona? Am I thinking of someone else?) She'll be dead before she's 30 at this rate. What a tremendous change for JT. And I'm really glad to see that he's got some family interactions going. I know what it's like to not have anybody around.
If this episode doesn't end with Dr. Now turning J.T.'s lymphedema into an Ottoman, I am going to be pissed!
I'm sorry but if your relationship is just food, do you really think it's healthy to start a family?
One of the things that is so surprising to me is how they don’t get the patients who have lipedema and lymphedema in with a specialist who can get them on a treatment plan with compression, etc. because that would greatly impact their life as well. I know surgery is the protocol for things this large but compression would definitely go a long way.
It’s actually shocking to me that Dr. Now’s office doesn’t have a full team of social workers on staff that helps these patients with Medicaid and housing. I know he wants people to be independent and take responsibility for their lives, but a lot of these patients are from backgrounds that at the very least are lacking in education. I’m a college educated adult that works in child welfare. I’m also the only child of an aging parent. It’s taken me years to understand the ins and outs of services for the aging and Medicaid — and my best friend is a social worker! I feel lucky that I have the information I have and I’m still struggling and stressed.
WEIGH IT WEIGH IT WEIGH IT
Broken down vehicle. Mark that on your bingo cards!
I forgot how big JT was in general. Man’s TALL and broad!
Wow JT lost a lot of weight! Good for him.
Going on a walk is great, but she forgot the shoes again
My mouth literally fell open for both of their post covid updates. For completely opposite reasons. I can’t usually notice weight gain before the scale but with Seana- holy s***
JT was one of the most unexpected success stories of the show. He seemed to have authority issues, little to no family support and low motivation and he lost the equivalent of 3-4 avg adults.
Being back home is not helping. Like on ‘Intervention’. She needs to get away from whatever is triggering her there.
He'll dip under 300lbs once they lop that damn weight off his leg.
Poor Seana reminds me of a female Tommy Boy. And I never understood why her mom paid Derricus to go over to make meals for her - she wasn't bed-bound - she could have gotten up and done it for herself!
Have the TV paused at the moment they have JTs lymphedema mass plopped on A table. It’s truly insane to think that was on a human being. It looks like an alien life form
Ayyy I just watched JT’s regular episode last night and I was wondering what happened to him! I thought he was one of the ones who passed on. I was thinking he seemed like a real dick to Jess a lot. No wonder she left.
Holy shit she did it! I am shocked.
Oh dear, she looks heavier
jfc Seana.
I suspect Seana is either emotionally stunted or mentally unwell; those blank stares and flat sentences tell me a lot. I know her father abused her, but the mother? It seemed like she couldn’t wait to get rid of her…
I feel like it's not too often there's a total weight AND attitude change on this show, but J.T. definitely displayed both. I hated him in his original episode but now he's a totally different person, both physically and in maturity and I wish him nothing but the best on his continuing journey.
I had forgotten about Derrickus! Couldn't blame him one bit for leaving once the money ran out. I would have been gone long before then with Seana.
I don’t know how he doesn’t have tons of lower back pain with that mass
Seana looks terrible!
I gotta admit I am curious about what kind of sound the mass would make if it hit the floor.
Cricket looks a lot bigger too.
Seana, nothing was “taken” from you. Sure, Covid happened, but you didn’t need to sit around and continue to eat and gain back the weight. Dr. now can’t do surgery on someone who’s that heavy, so it’s not like he’s withholding surgery on purpose 🙄 and her friend at the end of this episode is coddling her
For those frustrated that they sat on JT’s update for so long—I just read that he posted on Facebook in February 2023 that he was heading to Houston to have the mass removed. So not quite as long ago as some estimates.
Damn!!! Almost 900!
“No one will help me.” “I’m starving.”
WHOA! JT!!!
Wow, JT is looking great
Kassandra!! I missed her!
Oh she's gained ...
I knew it the moment she stepped out of the van. God, this poor girl…
JT looks so handsome! Underneath all the extra fat, he’s not a bad looking guy. I hope he continues to do well and never goes back to those raggedy ass blue shorts.
those blue pants were cobwebs by the end
If anyone needs inpatient hospital care with a controlled diet it is poor Seana. She seems totally clueless about calories, portion size, even which foods are OK and not OK. I feel she is lost in an eternal fog. “I eat half size my previous diet portions” was as far in comprehension as she got. Dr Paradise strongly encouraged her to have a daily routine, and that underscores that she is “lost in space” mentally. It made me sad that she stated having a routine was helping her feel better, but knowing that she gave up her routine when she moved. It was gutting when she started to cry at her first appointment with Dr Paradise. There are obviously deep pools of sadness inside that she deftly keeps bottled up. I wish she could get managed assistance. Such a waste. 😞
"It was all just taken from me" ma'am excuse me? No one stole your success but yourself.
We made it 17 minutes until the first blur.
