Geno Dacunto visited Dr. Nowzaradan, the Iranian-American surgeon who has been with the show since 2012, and was told to lose 60 pounds within a month to lead a healthier lifestyle. His cousin, Nico, supported him throughout his journey and both wanted to lose weight together. Geno followed the weight-loss plan provided by Dr. Nowzaradan and was able to lose 60 pounds in a month with Nico’s support.

Geno Dacunto sought help from Dr. Nowzaradan and was able to go through with a successful gastric bypass surgery. After the surgery, he experienced positive changes in his mental and physical health.
