In a recent episode of My 600-lb Life: Where Are They Now?, they checked up on Dottie Perkins from Mississippi. When she first showed up in 2016, she weighed 641.9 pounds. At that time, she needed hospital visits to manage her diet.
Dottie faced a tragic loss – her 13-year-old son Daniel passed away. He had cerebral palsy. Sadly, her most recent update revealed more hardships.

The show picked up 2 years and 7 months later. Dottie Perkins had lost 271 kilos, weighing 371. Progress was evident, but complications arose from weight gain.
“I feel like I’m in hell and I have to go home to see Landon,” she said of her 4-year-old son. “He can’t go on without me.”
Despite help in Houston, Dottie left Dr. Now’s program. She blamed her drinking problem for leaving husband Chris.
“I honestly don’t think Chris will really change the way he needs to and really give up alcohol because I’ve been through this with him a long time ago,”
For Landon’s sake, she demanded change. “He must care more about us than drinking.”
Moving to a hotel with Landon, Dottie faced financial struggles.
“I need to start fresh,” she said, reaching out to Dr. Now.
Leaving the program seemed her only choice, her behavior deteriorating.
