My 600-lb Life: Where Is Garrett, The Star Of ‘My 600-lb Life,’ Now?

Initially, Garrett Rogers was not supposed to visit Dr. Now. He is the nephew of Robin McKinley, a cast member, who suffered from an eating disorder and also smoked. After Robin’s brother, Chris, had a heart attack, it was up to Garrett to accompany her to Dr. Now’s office. The famous doctor was already focused on Robin’s dual problem of being morbidly obese and a frequent smoker.

However, Garrett’s weight immediately caught his attention. At the age of 20, the boy tipped the scales to 607 pounds. Dr. Now was alarmed that Garrett was on his way to becoming the heaviest and fastest person in the world. Inspired by Dr. Now, Garrett redoubled his efforts to lose weight. In the end, he dropped to 337 pounds, losing nearly 270 pounds.

Garrett set up a GoFundMe in August 2018 to get back to Kansas. He had moved to Houston for medical treatment. But, his dad fell ill, so he had to go back. The page only raised $288.

Robin shared that since November 2019, Garrett’s back in Meade, Kansas. She mentioned he won’t do a follow-up episode. Garrett improved a lot under Dr. Now’s guidance. He’s happier after losing weight.

Despite his limited social media activity, we found out he’s back in his hometown. This means he’s sticking to his weight loss plan. He’s been a success on the TLC series. It’s great to see him working towards his goal, even if he’s not up for another episode.
