Laura Perez – 594 Pounds
Laura Perez weighed 594 pounds when she came onto the show, and her condition reached the point where she was unable to care for herself on her own; she even had to use a wheelchair and an oxygen tank in her day-to-day life. Her then-husband had to help her with her daily happenings. One exceptionally challenging case that Dr. Nowzaradan had come across in his career, and by the time her time on the show concluded, she had lost so much weight that she was now an impressive 182 pounds. Her marriage didn’t make it through her change, but Laura was happy that she was finally living her life on her terms and could care for herself the way she deserved.

Bettie Jo Elmore – 650 Pounds
Bettie Jo Elmore was in terrible shape when she came onto the show, weighing just over 650 pounds, and she couldn’t lose it all on her own. The journey took a physical and mental toll on her, but she knew it was for the best for her. She discovered a mass growing at the base of her spine, and as she was pregnant at the time, she couldn’t receive surgical treatment. Bettie chose the tough road and went on to lose weight without going under the knife. Bettie Jo Elmore and her child are doing great now, and Bettie is much better with her newfound body she worked hard to achieve.
