My 600-Lb Life: Whatever Happened To Amber Rachdi

Amber Rachdi, a 23-year-old woman, was no ordinary young adult who could go to college, party and spend all day with friends. Her weight had made her so homely that it was difficult for her to do simple tasks like bathing or going downstairs. By the age of five, Amber weighed more than 150 kilos, and by the age of 16 she had to rely on a wheelchair to get around. An undiagnosed anxiety disorder triggered her teenage eating disorder and when it reared its ugly head again, Amber knew it was time for action.

Eating was her way to combat her anxiety problems and be at peace. Four giant meals and tons of candy every day was what comforted her.

She then decided to come to the show with her supportive family who had taken care of him. With her fate now in the hands of Dr. Now, she strove to be better and healthier. Dr. Now advised her on ways to reduce her daily calorie intake and simple exercises that would increase her physical activity.

Although she diligently followed his advice, she only managed to lose 20 kilos. Dr. Now then approved her gastric bypass surgery, in which he reduced the size of her stomach to the size of a baseball. She was one of the few contestants on the show who had undergone this operation.

She shared that the surgery motivated her to change her lifestyle and learn new habits that would improve her body. She also believed that taking responsibility for her excess weight and disciplining herself is what made the difference. Amber Rachdi started going to the gym every day and she also started seeing a therapist for her anxiety problems. By the end of the show, she had lost a whopping 267 pounds and looked better and healthier than ever!
